U2, Live Nation Line Up Worldwide Dates

U2's first leg of worldwide "360°" dates have been announced, including "in the round" stadium stops in Barcelona (June 30), London (August 14) and New York (September 24). Tickets for the Live Nation-produced tour go on sale March 13 for Milan and Gothenburg, and March 14 for Amsterdam. Further details will be announced soon.

"U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by their audience, this staging takes a giant leap forward," U2 manager Paul MCGuinness said in a statement. "With 85-percent of the tickets priced at less than [$119.40], general admission floor tickets priced at [$69.12] and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at around [$37.70], we have worked very hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view."
