U2 world tour dates are now set for 2027, with The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour opening in Stockholm on April 26. The run stretches across UK and Europe stadiums, and the release now gives ticket buyers a schedule instead of rumors.
Stockholm Leads April 26 Run
The first date lands at Strawberry Arena, and the route then moves through Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, Milan and Paris before reaching London. That sequence matters because the schedule is being released city by city, with Spain still set for later announcement rather than folded into this initial batch.
The tour also includes shows at Johan Cruijff ArenA, Estadio da Luz, Stade de France and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. For fans in those markets, the practical change is simple: the ticket window is live, but the geography of the run makes it clear this is a stadium-scale release rather than a one-off announcement.
Presales Start Before Onsale
U2.com subscriber presales begin on Monday November 2 at 10am GMT, giving the most direct path in before the wider rush. Visa cardholders in the EU and UK get access on Wednesday 4 November from 10 a.m. local time until 10 p.m. the same day, while supply lasts, followed by An Artist Presale on Thursday, November 5.
The general onsale starts Friday, November 6 at 10am GMT at U2.com, which puts the sale on a tight four-step timetable across two time zones. Wolf Alice is listed as support, so the bill is already fixed enough for buyers to judge the full night, not just the headline act.
The Edge on Ireland
The Edge put the next phase in plain language: "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. There's nowhere else we'd want to be for that party." That is the only real friction in the announcement: the European schedule is out, but the next leg is still being worked through.
North America dates are due in the coming weeks, and the band already has plans for The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour in 2028. For now, the useful takeaway is immediate: Stockholm opens the run on April 26, and anyone targeting Europe tickets has a clear sequence to follow before the onsale closes in on November 6.
