In a few weeks, U2 will be kicking off their first indoor arena tour in over a decade, in support of last year’s Songs of Innocence. The iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour will take U2 to 20 cities worldwide for 70 concerts over the next six months, with multiple dates in each city (from two to eight), running through November. Special shows are reportedly being planned for Dublin fat the end of the year to benefit the U2-initiated Music Generation project.
It will all kick off in Vancouver on May 14th, and the North American leg will run May through July and then Europe will follow from September through November.
From early reports of the stage set-up, it appears that a catwalk bisects the GA floor into two halves in at least some of the arenas. The setlist is supposed to alternate from “innocence” to “experience” from night to night (with a fixed set list for the first half of each show and a changing second half, split by an intermission).
Full details about the world tour and tickets can be found at the official U2 site at www.U2.com:
