LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3, 2014 /CNW/ -- The dates for U2's
upcoming iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015 have been
announced today by Live Nation. The iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE
Tour, which begins in 2015, will see U2 play indoor arenas for
the first time in a decade and will visit 19 cities worldwide
during its first year with pairs of shows in each city. A complete
tour itinerary is below. Tickets for all shows will go on general
sale on Monday, Dec. 8. In addition,
special shows are being planned for Dublin for the end of next year – to benefit
the U2-initiated Music Generation project - details of which will
be announced as soon as they are finalised.
The tour follows the recent release of U2's thirteenth studio
album Songs Of Innocence by Island Records, which was
given to U2.com subscribers and gifted by Apple to over half a
billion iTunes Music Store customers worldwide. To date,
Songs of Innocence has been streamed 81 million times
and has been downloaded by 30 million fans.
"We are going to try to have a completely different feeling from
night one to night two," said Bono, "and have some fun playing with
the idea of innocence and experience. More to be revealed!"
"The anticipation for a U2 tour is always extraordinary, as it
should be," said Arthur Fogel,
President - Global Touring and Chairman - Global Music. "Following
the record-setting 360 Tour, I'm amazed that they still want to be
ground-breaking, this time on a more intimate scale."
Tickets for the U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015 go on
general sale beginning Monday, Dec.
8. As usual, there is an exclusive priority presale for U2
Fan Club subscribers at U2.com, from Thursday, Dec. 4 at 10
a.m. through Saturday, Dec. 6
at noon (all times local). Tickets will be general admission on the
floor and reserved seating in the stands.
UPS is the logistics supplier to the tour. Ron Rogowski, UPS Vice President, Global Brand
and Sponsorships said - "We're excited to work closely with U2 and
Live Nation on this amazing tour in the most sustainable and
environmentally responsible manner while providing them speed,
efficiency and reliability."
