U2 announces new tour for 2019

U2 reported through its social networks that it will be back on the road in 2019 to a new world tour in the style of the shows where they played their 1987 album The Joshua Tree. In 2017, the Irish group celebrated the 30th anniversary of this iconic album with a tour with 51 shows in North America, Europe and Latin America. Now, U2 announces dates for Japan and Oceania, generating expectations for its new commitments.

“It only took me 30 years to learn how to sing these songs and it’s great to be able to say that I finally reached the band,” vocalist Bono said in a statement on the band’s website. “Our audience has given Joshua Tree a new life on this tour. Doing these shows has been very special for us, especially for revealing that some of the songs are current to this day,” he added.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
