What is the Greatest Show on Earth tour?

U2’s 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, goes on sale next week on November 13 and their upcoming tour is named after the recently released single The Greatest Show On Earth.

The record is the band’s first album of new material in nine years and features 12 tracks.

Where are they touring?

Last month, the band confirmed the tour would kick off in February 2027 in Mexico City, followed by Sao Paulo in Brazil, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, with additional performances scheduled in those locations since being first announced.

North American dates will be announced in the coming weeks, but last week U2 revealed the European leg of the tour.

It will kick off in April in Stockholm, Sweden, with U2 also visiting Paris, Barcelona, Seville, Lisbon and Amsterdam before their performances in London, Berlin, and Milan.

Wait, are there any Irish dates?

Not yet, but there will be. The group are planning a further leg of the tour in 2028, which is expected to conclude in Ireland.

The Edge, whose real name is David Evans, said: “We can’t say too much about the next leg of The Greatest Show On Earth.

“We’re still figuring it out – but what we can say is, we’ll be wrapping it up in Ireland.

“There’s nowhere else we’d want to be for that party.” 

Is there a support act?

Yes, rock band Wolf Alice will be the support act in Europe. In South America, American artist Beck will provide support for those dates.

Are tickets on sale now and how much are they?

Several presales have taken place, but tickets are now available for general sale for most of U2’s European dates since this morning on Ticketmaster.

Presales will take place for the recently added Barcelona and Seville gigs from November 9 before they are available for general sale on Friday, November 13.
