The new U2 tour kicks off May 2015 in Vancouver, and it is expected that this tour will be a more intimate, but shorter affair.
There were only 28 dates available when the original tour schedule was released, but that gig number has already blown up to 44. Fans will be able to purchase their beloved tickets on December 8 2014, when U2’s iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015 tickets officially go on sale.
Bono recently addressed the obvious differences in this tour, stating: “more indoors than outdoors this time, but we’ll see where it takes us,” he said. “You know what it’s like now, it’s like a whole city goes on the road with us.”
And when The Edge spoke to Rolling Stone in November, he predicted this tour’s more mellow style: “I think we will start small. We certainly can’t get any bigger than the last tour.”
After Bono suffered injuries in a serious bicycle accident in Central Park, U2 was forced to perform without him at the World AIDS Day concert. The singer has said of the upcoming tour that they will aim for “a completely different feeling from night one to night two.”
