Los Angeles, CA, Feb. 10, 2015 With the announcement of additional dates in Chicago, iconic Irish rockers U2 have increased the number of shows in their upcoming Innocence + Experience world tour to nearly 50. In its original announcement of the tour back in December, the band confirmed 44 shows in 19 cities around the world. In recent days, U2 has added additional dates in sold out cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, London and Barcelona. There are rumors that the band is also considering shows in additional cities.
The new tour dates put to rest rumors that the U2 world tour’s start might be delayed due to front man Bonoís recovery from injuries suffered in a November high energy bicycle accident. The U2 singer suffered multiple fractures in that accident, causing the band to postpone a week-long residency on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. As the May start of the tour draws closer, it’s becoming clear that there will be no postponement. Instead, the band is primed to continue adding shows to the tour as long as demand for tickets remains high.
In contrast to many other concert tours, the U2 world tour has booked multiple shows in every city along its route, with some cities featuring as many as five nights of the bandís high-energy brand of rock. The shows will not simply be repeats, notes lead singer, Bono, who said in a statement, “We are going to try to have a completely different feeling from night one to night two, more to be revealed!”
The U2 Innocence + Experience tour kicks off on May 14 in Vancouver, BC and features multiple dates in North America and Europe before ending in Paris on November 15.
