U2 announce tour dates for 2015

U2 have announced the dates for the world tour of their Songs Of Innocence album.

The list includes 19 cities across Europe and the US during 2015, with all tickets going on sale on December 8.

Though Belfast nor Dublin are on the list, the band have announced they would be playing a series of “special shows” in Ireland to aid their Music Generation project - which aims to support music education in schools - and “more to be revealed”.

Details and tickets to these 'special shows' will also be revealed in due course. (five nights in Croke Park maybe?)
