Produced by Live Nation Global Touring, U2 360 will visit 14 cities across Europe including dates in Milan, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, Dublin, Chorzow, Berlin, Gelsenkirchen, London, Sheffield and Glasgow before finishing at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on 22nd August. The European tour will be followed by dates in North America beginning at Chicago’s Soldier Field on September 12th, 2009.
Long-time U2 Show Director Willie Williams has worked again with architect Mark Fisher (ZooTV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo), to create an innovative 360˚ design which affords an unobstructed view for the audience. U2 360 also marks the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a unique and original structure (which can be viewed at U2.com).
“U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by their audience, this staging takes a giant leap forward. With 85 percent of the tickets priced at less than 95 Euro, general admission floor tickets priced at 55 euro and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at around 30 Euro, we have worked very hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view” says U2’s manager Paul McGuinness.
With sales of over 312,000 tickets in 24 hours, U2 fans world-wide are ready to “get on their boots” as U2 360 Tour presented by Blackberry announces complete sell-outs in Gothenburg, Milan and Amsterdam this weekend.
Friday morning, sales in Gothenburg were so brisk, that after 30 minutes a 2nd and final show (August 1st) was added with 56,000 tickets per show completely sold out by end of day. Amsterdam broke that record Saturday with the July 20th Arena performance selling 60,000 tickets within 15 minutes of going on sale. A 2nd performance July 21st was immediately announced and put on sale and is also now sold out. Milan’s 80,000 capacity San Siro was also completely sold out by Sunday evening and tickets for a 2nd performance July 8th in Milan will go on sale this Friday, March 20th.
In Dublin, reaction to last week’s world tour announcement was so strong that a 2nd performance at Croke Park was confirmed prior to tickets even being put on sale. Tickets for both the July 24th and 25th performances will go on sale this Friday, March 20th. Additional on-sales this week include: Paris & Nice; Chorzow Poland, and London, Glasgow, Sheffield and Cardiff in the UK.
U2 360 Tour follows the release of their 12th studio album No Line On The Horizon which debuted at Number 1 in over 30 territories.
The U2 360 tour is sponsored by BlackBerry and produced by Live Nation Global Touring.
