Live Nation has announced U.K. and European stadium dates for U2’s 2027 tour, Carnaval De Luz presents: The Greatest Show On Earth. The European leg opens in Stockholm on April 26 with support from Wolf Alice, and includes stops in Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, Milan, Paris and two nights at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Dates for Spain and North America are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The band has also added extra dates in Mexico City, São Paulo and Buenos Aires after the initial run in those cities reportedly sold out, according to the announcement. The Latin American leg, supported by Beck, begins in February 2027 and runs through late March.
The tour follows U2’s 50th anniversary celebrations in September, which included a lunchtime show for students at the band’s former school in Dublin and a surprise performance on Grafton Street. It marks the band’s return to stadiums since wrapping The Joshua Tree Tour in Mumbai in December 2019, and follows their Sphere Las Vegas residency. The new single “The Greatest Show On Earth,” co-written with Brian Eno and accompanied by an Anton Corbijn-directed video, is the third released from the upcoming album Carnaval De Luz, due November 13.
