U2 will play Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 18 and 19 June 2027 as part of a European stadium run.

The London dates at the 62,850-capacity venue form part of U2’s Carnaval De Luz presents: The Greatest Show On Earth, which marks the band’s first stadium tour since The Joshua Tree Tour ended in Mumbai in December 2019.

The European leg will open in Stockholm at Strawberry Arena on 26 April, and take in Paris, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Berlin and Milan. Spanish dates are yet to be announced.

The tour follows U2’s sold-out 40-show run at Sphere in Las Vegas and is produced by Live Nation Global Touring. The previously announced Latin American shows sold out, with extra dates added in Mexico City, São Paulo and Buenos Aires. The promoter said North American dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

The band is said to already be planning 2028 dates, with a homecoming Irish finale in the works. “We can’t say too much about the next leg… but what we can say is, we’ll be wrapping it up in Ireland,” said The Edge.

Known for their remarkable touring productions, U2 are among the millennium’s most successful touring artists with 20.2m ticket sales, according to Pollstar.

Description

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (cap. 62,850) has been granted planning permission to increase its major non-football events from 16 to 30 annually, including concerts, rugby, boxing and NFL games.

Haringey Council approved the resolution last Thursday, following extensive consultation with local residents and businesses.

Tottenham Hotspur has pledged to maintain its community ticket scheme, ensuring local residents receive complimentary tickets and a new 24-hour priority ticketing window for concerts.

Since its opening in 2019, the stadium has hosted concerts by artists including Beyonce, P!NK, Travis Scott, Guns N’ Roses and Wizkid. The stadium is set to host events for the London Borough of Culture in 2027 and UEFA EURO 2028.

The venue has generated approximately £900 million annually for London’s economy, supporting around 3,700 full-time jobs and generating an additional £478m of GVA in London, according to a recent study by EY.

Live Nation Entertainment (LNE) has revealed that Travis Scott’s 11 July concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium drew more than 48,500 attendees and grossed over $6.6 million (£5m), marking it his largest headline show to date.

Scott is also understood to have broken the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’s merchandise sales record for any event to date at the venue, including the NFL.

LNE said that seven shows in, at the halfway point in Scott’s tour of the UK and Europe, his shows had grossed more than $23m (£17.6m) with a collective attendance of nearly 200,000.

The tour kicked off on 28 June in Arnhem, Netherlands at GelreDome, and has since involved shows in Krakow, Zurich, Nice, Antwerp, Hamburg and London.

Following the deaths of 10 people during Scott’s performance at the Astroworld Festival at NRG Park in Houston on 5 November 2021, £1 is being contributed from every ticket sold for the current tour to the Cactus Jack Foundation – an organisation dedicated to “uplifting Houston youth through toy drives, scholarship programs for HBCU college students, and supporting educational and creative endeavours”. So far, $250,000 (£192,000) has been donated to the foundation from the Europe/UK leg of the tour.
