U2 to wrap next tour in Ireland - but no dates yet

U2 is gearing up for an extensive European tour in 2027, with plans to conclude the journey back home in Ireland. The band has revealed a series of confirmed dates across the UK and Europe, while affirming that Irish concerts will be part of their itinerary, though exact details remain forthcoming.

The European leg of the tour is scheduled to kick off in Stockholm on April 26, 2027, featuring support from the indie rock band Wolf Alice. From there, U2 will bring their live show to several major cities including Paris, Lisbon, Amsterdam, London, Berlin, and Milan, spanning through late spring and early summer. Additional Spanish dates are expected to be announced soon, completing the continental schedule.

Before the European trek, U2 is also expanding their presence in Latin America with added performances in Mexico City, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires following swift ticket sales for the initial shows. North American tour dates remain under wraps but are anticipated to be revealed in the near future.

The band’s tour announcement follows a recent milestone celebration marking their 50th anniversary, during which they staged special concerts in Dublin. This milestone seems to have reinvigorated their connection with their Irish fanbase, as the group has expressed a strong desire to conclude their upcoming tour on home soil.

While specifics about the closing Irish shows are still being finalized, guitarist The Edge has emphasized the significance of returning to Ireland for this momentous occasion. The final leg in Ireland is framed as a celebratory culmination of the tour, underscoring the band’s enduring ties to their roots.

Parallel to touring, U2 is preparing to release their new album, Carnaval de Luz, scheduled for Friday, November 13. This release marks their latest studio effort and is expected to be a central element of their live performances during the upcoming tours.

Presale tickets for the European dates are set to go live next Monday, with more information available through the band's official channels. Fans are advised to stay updated for forthcoming announcements regarding North American and Irish tour stops.

With a career spanning over five decades, U2 continues to maintain a commanding presence on the global music stage. Their upcoming tour and album launch reflect a blend of honoring their past achievements while looking forward to new creative milestones.

Details about special guests, setlists, or further expansion of the tour have yet to be disclosed. For now, the confirmed European itinerary and the promise of hometown shows in Ireland provide a clear glimpse into the band's plans for the next phase of their live journey.
