The Crystal Ball
Original Story by Aaron J. Sams (2024-09-23)
There’s been a lot of talk about U2’s next tour over the last few days.
As we’ve shared before, members of U2’s crew have said they are on hold for a possible summer tour for next year. We were told the band had dates on hold with different stadiums for these dates. But we have been told each time news was shared, any tour is dependent on a new album being finished. There may be venues on hold for a potential tour, and these Croke rumours may be part of that, but we do not believe we are anywhere near a full tour announcement at this point.
If U2 do get an album together for next year, then we would expect to see a full tour announcement around the same time. (We did ask a few contacts who should know about these current rumours and we were told that a full tour announcement isn’t coming ‘soon’. And although dates are ‘on-hold’ they may or may not be used depending on progress of the album. We were also told that U2 have no plans to return to the Sphere for any live performances at this time.)
