When it wraps up this week, the U2's 360 Tour will have played to over 3 million fans in just 44 cities. With record shattering sales including the largest attendance at the Rose Bowl as well as setting the all time record at New York's Giant Stadium where the audience surpassed that of the Pope - the largest rock and roll touring production ever has just confirmed the return to North America beginning June 6th 2010 at Anaheim's Angel Stadium. The tour is once again produced by Live Nation Global Touring and sponsored by BlackBerry®.Having performed in a limited number of North American cities in 2009, U2's 360 Tour is set to touch down in a new set of stadiums next summer including stops in Anaheim; Denver; Oakland; Seattle; Edmonton; East Lansing; Miami; Philadelphia and Montreal. Due to overwhelming demand, U2's 360 Tour will also return for one night only in Toronto and Chicago before finishing the 2nd North American leg in New York at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
With sell-outs already reported for the 2010 European Tour including Denmark (2 shows sold out); Brussels (2 shows sold out); Helsinki (2 shows sold out) and Coimbra (2 shows sold out); and Paris where over 90,000 tickets were sold for a third show at that venue, U2's 360 Tour 2010 will offer fans who missed out a new opportunity to experience the U2 stadium spectacle.
U2's 360 Tour is one of the biggest touring spectacles ever mounted. According to their press release, the stage set rises some 150 feet from the ground, features a cylindrical video system of interlocking LED screens and a massive stage with rotating bridges. The intended effect is to provide a show with visual appeal to every fan in the stadium - thus living up to the “360″ tag. The tour is more about a unique staging configuration with excellent sight-lines.
U2's 360 Tour will be at the LandShark Stadium in Miami, Florida on Friday July 9, 2010.
