U2 European Tour dates now have a starting point: Stockholm on April 26. The rollout also reaches London, Paris and Amsterdam, turning the first confirmed European leg of The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour into a multi-city stadium run.
April 26 is the anchor date, with two Stockholm shows at Strawberry Arena and repeat nights already set in Paris and Amsterdam. That gives buyers in those markets a concrete first window on a schedule that is still being filled out, including Spain, where dates will be announced soon.
Strawberry Arena starts the run
The European leg opens at Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on April 26, then returns there on April 28. Paris follows with two nights on May 5 and May 8, while Lisbon is on May 27 and Amsterdam lands on June 5 and June 6. London is also on the board at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which broadens the route beyond the first wave of continental dates.
Wolf Alice is listed for the tour, giving the stadium package a fixed support act as the routing expands across UK and Europe. For fans, the practical issue is timing: the dates are not arriving all at once, so the first ticket decisions will be driven by city-specific windows rather than one uniform sale across every market.
Monday November 2 sales window
U2.com subscriber presales begin on Monday November 2. Visa cardholders get presale access in the EU and UK from Wednesday 4 November at 10 a.m. local time until 10 p.m. the same day, while supply lasts.
An Artist Presale begins on Thursday, November 5, and the remaining tickets go on general sale Friday, November 6 at 10am GMT at U2.com. That sequence gives subscribers and cardholders first shot at the hardest-to-get stadium inventory before the wider public sale opens.
The Edge on Ireland
The Edge said, "We can't say too much about the next leg of The Greatest Show On Earth - we're still figuring it out - but what we can say is, we'll be wrapping it up in Ireland." The line is the wrinkle in the announcement: U2 has put the UK and Europe dates on sale while still leaving the next leg unfinished.
That leaves the immediate path clear for Stockholm, Paris, Amsterdam, Lisbon and London, but it also leaves the longer route open enough to make the next additions worth watching. The band is selling a defined European run now and holding back the rest, which is the sensible way to move a stadium tour when the routing is still being shaped.
