As U2 played the final notes of “Moment of Surrender” to close its Rose Bowl webcast tonight, the band’s management unveiled the second North American leg of its colossal 360° Tour: 12 concerts in U.S. and Canadian stadiums next June and July.
The band will open the 2010 portion of its global tour June 6 in Anaheim, Calif., and perform across the United States — and hit Canada for two shows — before wrapping July 19 in New York (see full tour dates below); Bono and Co. then return across the Atlantic for the previously announced second European leg of the trek.
Although full details for the new U.S. shows have not yet been announced, tickets for concerts in Oakland, Edmonton and Toronto go on sale Nov. 2, with Denver following on Nov. 6. Watch this page for further ticket information.
Following tonight’s concert in Pasadena — which was filmed for DVD release and, at this writing, is being rebroadcast on the band’s YouTube channel — U2 will perform one final show in 2009: Wednesday night in Vancouver, B.C.
