founding members will be on the road together. The band’s official statement reads:
“After years of reflection, creativity, and personal growth, we feel that the time is right to come together again and
bring the full U2 experience back to our fans. This is about revisiting the magic that only the four of us can create as a
band. We can’t wait to share it with you.”
Fans are already buzzing with speculation on what the setlists might include, with many hoping for a mix of classics
from their iconic albums such as The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and War, alongside potential new material. The
surprise reunion tour is expected to cover North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, making stops at some of the
world’s largest arenas and stadiums.

continuously evolved, maintaining relevance in an ever-changing music landscape.
The announcement of the reunion tour comes as U2 celebrates an impressive legacy, having sold over 150 million
