Live Nation Global Touring and Michael Coppel have today confirmed that U2 will end the year with live dates
in New Zealand and Australia. The U2 360° Tour will visit Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and the
tour also includes U2’s first Perth date since Popmart in 1998.
“U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by their audience, and this extraordinary production makes
that happen in stadiums, says U2’s manager Paul McGuinness “It was important to the band that we were able
to bring the whole 360° production to Australia and New Zealand so fans could experience the latest of U2’s
legendary productions.”
