The big music news in Oklahoma this week is U2′s Monday announcement on the band’s Web site that the rockers will play this fall in Norman:
Here is the release from www.u2.com:
The U2 360° Tour will visit 14 cities across Europe including dates in Milan, Gothenburg, Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, Dublin, Chorzow, Berlin, Gelsenkirchen, London, Sheffield and Glasgow before finishing at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on August 22.
The European tour will be followed by dates in North America beginning at Chicago’s Soldier Field on September 12th, 2009.
In September and October, U2 360° Tour will also visit: Atlanta, GA; Charlottesville, VA; Dallas, TX; Houston, TX; Las Vegas, NV; Los Angeles, CA; Norman, OK; Phoenix, AZ; Tampa, FL; Washington, DC and Vancouver, BC. Complete Tour and ticketing information to follow.
Longtime U2 Show Director Willie Williams has worked again with architect Mark Fisher (ZooTV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo), to create an innovative 360° design which affords an unobstructed view for the audience. U2 360° also marks the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a unique and original structure.
The Web site only lists the June 30-Sept. 24 tour dates, so we don’t know officially when the concert will take place. But since the band is playing big sports venues such as Giants Stadium in New York and Wembley Stadium in London, it’s a safe bet that the show will be at the University of Oklahoma’s Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
That brings us to the question of when the concert will take place. Again, nothing official has been revealed, but check out Entertainment Editor Gene Triplett’s story, which includes a listing of U2′s few past Oklahoma performances, for more information. You can see the story by clicking here.
The band will be touring in support of its new album, “No Line on the Horizon.”
