Almost a decade since their last trip down under, global rockstars U2 will return to Australia in November as part of The Joshua Tree Tour 2019.
"It's only taken me 30 years to learn how to sing these songs and it's great to be able to say that I've finally caught up with the band," Bono says.
With dates confirmed in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Perth, this is your opportunity to soak in the sounds of one rock's most seminal albums, the Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno produced 'The Joshua Tree'.
Released in March 1987, it features such classics as 'With Or Without You', 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For', and 'Where The Streets Have No Name'.
"Our audience has given the Joshua Tree a whole new life on this tour," adds Bono.
"Doing these shows has been very special for us, a lot of emotion. From the despair of how relevant some of the dark songs still are, to the joy, pure fun of the staging… it’s quite a ride. And now we get to do it all over again."
"We really, REALLY wanted to bring The Joshua Tree to New Zealand, Australia and Asia," The Edge says. "We promised we would and finally, now we can say that we will see you in November... It’s going to feel like a homecoming and we are very excited."
Special guest Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is confirmed as support for the Australian dates Noel saying, "We, NGHFB, are beside ourselves," Noel says.
"The Joshua Tree 2017 Tour was some of the most fun we ever had. It will be both an honour and a pleasure to share the stage with our friends and comrades once again. It’s gonna be a ripper!"
