Band History
The rock band, U2, has been making music and performing for over 30 years. They have become a household name in the United States as well as around the world, with their songs reaching millions of fans. The group is celebrating three decades of success by embarking on a tour across America to commemorate this milestone.
U2 first formed in 1976 when four schoolmates – Bono, Larry Mullen Jr., Adam Clayton, and the Edge – got together to form the band. Despite having no prior experience playing instruments or singing professionally, they quickly developed a unique sound that combined traditional Irish folk music with alternative rock. This combination made them stand out from other bands of the time, leading them to be signed by Island Records in 1980 and releasing their debut album Boy shortly after.
Since then, U2 has gone on to produce fifteen studio albums and win 22 Grammy Awards while selling more than 150 million records worldwide. While many members have come and gone throughout its history, original founding members Bono, Mullen Jr., Clayton and the Edge remain today as one of the most successful groups ever assembled. Their latest venture marks a major career milestone for all involved; an anniversary tour that will bring some of their biggest hits back into stadiums across America during summer 2016.
Tour Dates And Locations
U2’s 30th anniversary tour is sure to be an unforgettable experience for fans everywhere. After months of anticipation, the band has finally announced their full itinerary which includes dates and venues in major cities all across America. Kicking off on May 14th in Vancouver, British Columbia, U2 will make stops in places such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City and Boston before concluding with a final show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on July 31st.
At each venue there will be something special prepared that celebrates the band’s lengthy career. Bono recently told Rolling Stone magazine that they’ll be performing some classic songs from albums like “The Joshua Tree” and “Achtung Baby” along with new material from their most recent album Songs of Innocence. He also hinted at surprises throughout the shows including never-before-seen visuals created especially for this tour.
In addition to providing fans with an amazing live performance filled with nostalgia and energy, tickets purchased online offer exclusive merchandise items designed specifically for this event – souvenirs any diehard fan won’t want to miss out on! With just weeks until showtime, it promises to be one celebration no one attending will ever forget!
