In the US, they are due to play New York, Boston, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco.

U2 manager Paul McGuinness revealed the band’s tour details to music industry magazine Music Week.
Arthur Fogel, global touring chief executive of U2’s promoters Live Nation, confirmed the bargain tickets prices.
He said: "There will be extreme [price] tiering. The notion of single-price tickets is not something I have ever embraced. "In this particular [economic] climate, it’s important to really look at tiering carefully."
