U2, stadium tour in early 2027?

Some little update on U2. The latest (unofficial) sources spoke of an album for the autumn of 2026, with a single for the summer. This program would be indirectly confirmed by the absence of a release in April for Record Store Day, which the band has instead always celebrated with special publications,

according to U2songs sources, the tour should start at the beginning of 2027 and should be focused on stadiums: according to the site the band is evaluating different itineraries. The band would return to these spaces for almost 10 years. The last tour in this format was in fact that for the 30th anniversary of “The Joshua Tree”, which took place mainly in 2017 with a coda in 2019 in Oceania and Asia. In 2018 he played in arenas, and in 2023 at the Sphere in Las Vegas.

At the end of 2025 he gave the new U2 album as “almost finished”, with the emergence of an increasingly defined time plan. When it arrives, U2’s new album will be the first unreleased project since 2017, the year “Songs of Experience” was released.

In October Bono and The Edge were together awards ceremony assigned by the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, playing some classics but above all anticipating a fragment of “One life at a time”, a song about the Middle Eastern conflict inspired by the film “No Other Land”. Bono’s voice instead appears in a track of “Elvis”, Baz Luhrmann’s new concert film dedicated to Elvis Presley

When Rockol interviewed Bono last spring, the singer summed up the inner workings of the band this way: “Springsteen said a funny thing about bands: “Democracy is needed for places like Iraq. But not for a rock band.” He is always amazed by the fact that the four of us U2 divide everything equally and that we are still very democratic. He has a band, but there’s only one Boss. In U2 there are four bosses.” A dynamic that explains well the long lead times and many discussions behind each project.
