Riding high on the wave of hype for its new album, U2 will kick off a world tour this spring. No dates are confirmed yet, but the trek is expected to start in Florida in March and include 35 shows Stateside before heading overseas.
The Irish rock veterans will play around 30 European stadiums before returning for another 35-date arena run in the U.S. Japan is next on the itinerary, followed by Australia, where the band will reportedly do an eight-date run.
Rumored opening acts include Snow Patrol and Scissor Sisters.
U2 typically does one monster tour every few years. Its last trek, in 2001, spanned nine months and grossed $143 million with all shows sold out.
The group's new album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, is scheduled for release November 23rd in the U.S

Finally I will (I hope) get my chance to see U2. Pending they come to Kansas City, OKC or somewhere near, Its unlikley Wichita will be in on the listed cities.
A 65+ US city tour is awesome! Who will be going to this one?

an OKC date would COMPLETELY sell-out within minutes, thus making a second date necassary...

And I will make damn well sure to be at ANY U2 show in Oklahoma!!!
