U2 360° European concert tour announced - Germany

U2 announced the tour dates for their 2009 tour, christened 360°.

The dates for Europe include Berlin, but sadly not Munich.



The show revolves around a new 360 stage that features a wraparound big screen. A demo can be viewed at U2's homepage.

Dates that the tickets go on sale for the public can be found here.



I will almost certainly go to Berlin to see the show, if I can get tickets, that is.

Milan is also an option. Its not much of a difference than travelling to Berlin or Gelsenkirchen.

Aparantly the dates released today is not the final full list (eg. Dublin has 3 concerts planned but only 1 "announced").
Maybe Munich is pencilled in too on the sly. We can only wait and hope.

I will wait and hope. Otherwise I'll have to consider travelling to Berlin or Milan.

Where are you getting Gelsenkirchen from?

Stay in Munich - there's a rumour that Onob may show up here: Open-Air Gig
It's a rumour, mind you. But the Irish stick together.

I bet you have his mobile number. I suppose he was second choice after Lejeune...

Ah, gotcha. The first little purply list didn't include every date.

Here is the complete European list from the U2 website. (Click it to enlarge.)

I wonder why they have put "Wal" in the "state" column for Cardiff, not "Sco" for Glasgow or "Eng" for London and Sheffield.

Going to try and get tickets for NY

According to u2tour.de, Gelsenkirchen has been removed from the list.

So that means only Berlin gets a gig - nothing in southern Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This is sickening! It seems they're playing way less gigs in Europe than previous tours. Plenty in the US though.

Yep, it's been removed from the official list on U2.com as well.

From the Irish Independent:

Worry not folks! I think that their may be a few more German dates on the second leg of the European tour which will follow next year!

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/exclus...003948418.story

The basic layout of the tour is Europe in July and August, America in September and October with a total of 40-45 shows this year; more stadiums in America in June and July next year, then August and September in Europe. The trek then tentatively will hit South America in the fall of 2010, for potentially as many as 90-100 shows over the next two years.

Anyone do the pre-sale yesterday for Milan, Amsterdam, Gothenberg?

Wondering how it is working. Will be doing my pre-sale order next Tuesday
