U2 Final North American Dates Set - Sold Out Everywhere

U2 has added new North American dates to its fall 360 Tour, which has seen the Irish rockers smash sales records each time the box-office windows open.

Newly announced cities comprising what the group is calling its "final 2009 concert dates" include shows in Raleigh, NC (10/3); Dallas (10/12); Houston (10/14); Norman, OK (10/18); Phoenix (10/20) and Las Vegas (10/23). On-sale dates are included with the complete itinerary below.

The tour gets underway with two shows (9/12-13) in Chicago, before moving on to Toronto, suburban Boston (Foxboro, MA) and East Rutherford, NJ, with a pair of nights in each location. U2 will hit 16 North American cities on the trip, which follows a run of European dates over July and August. The band's overseas schedule can be found at the official U2 website.

The tour sold 450,000 tickets Monday morning (4/6), when a new batch of shows went on sale, according to a press release, with the total number of tickets sold for the tour throughout North America and Europe now topping 2.5 million since the trek was announced in late March. The Oct. 25 performance at Pasadena, CA's 90,000-seat Rose Bowl sold out in a matter of hours, marking the largest concert performance to ever take place in the historic venue, as well as the quickest sell-out, according to tour promoter Live Nation.

Additionally, according to the band's publicist, 160,000 tickets for the July 24 and 25 concerts in Dublin, Ireland's Croke Park sold out in less than 40 minutes, leading to a quick announcement of a third show in the group's home city.

U2 previously announced a few of the opening acts that will join the band on tour. Snow Patrol will open the Chicago and Boston-area shows; Muse will handle opening duties for the NYC-area engagements; and The Black Eyed Peas are on board for the Pasadena date.

The upcoming tour, which begins with a 14-city European leg this summer, supports U2's recently released 12th studio album, "No Line on the Horizon," which debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries, including the US, where it posted first-week sales of about 484,000 copies.

With sales this morning (March 30) of more than 82,000 tickets sold in New York, 72,000 in Boston and 65,000 in Chicago, the U2 360° Tour will set the largest single-day attendance record in each city, according to tour producer Live Nation.

In London, with more than 6,700 tickets sold in 60 seconds, ticket sales for U2 at Wembley Stadium resulted in the highest sales rate ever in the U.K. At Dublin's Croke Park, 160,000 tickets for U2 360° Tour performances in July 24-25 sold out in 40 minutes, leading the announcement of a third and final event in that city.

BONO BUSTED !

The curse of Facebook has now hit U2 lead singer Bono.
Pictures of the 48-year-old rocker with his arm around two bikini-clad teenagers in St Tropez were posted on the popular social site complete with diary details.
Bono was on vacation with long-time friend Simon Carmody, a musician and former member of Irish band Golden Horde

This may be it- Yup Bono Suggests the possible end

Bono fears U2 will split up. The singer says he and his bandmates - guitarist The Edge, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and bassist Adam Clayton - are determined to enjoy their upcoming world tour because they fear it could be their last. He said: "We want to play for each other as much as we want to play for the crowd this time. You just don't know how long you are going to be doing this. When we walk out on stage, the hairs on people's necks go up - but what people don't know is that the hairs on our necks go up too."Larry is concerned their fans won't want to part with their money to watch them, even though tickets have been priced reasonably. He said: "Will we sell it out? Who knows? Will the economic situation have an impact? Probably. But that's not going to stop us." Larry recently admitted he wants the group to retire while they are still at the top.He said: "There will be a time when it's like, 'It's time to go.' I would like that to be on a high when you're still achieving as opposed to the curve down. That'll be sad for me. I think it'll be a more dignified time to go."

New Logo
