Reserve U2 tickets for the 2009 U2 360 tour. The Vertigo tour carries a history, or rather a treasure trove of past concerts to offer fans while imprinting its own mark for the current generation. From U2’s early albums of Boy and War, to the MTV days of Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby, to the more recent All That You Can’t Leave Behind and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, Vertigo tour, and now the No Line On The Horizon Tour will have something for everybody.

Over the years, U2 has carefully cultivated a unique sound with Bono’s soulful yet challenging vocals backed up by rock-edged guitar riffs born in a post punk scene tied together by the religious and political viewpoints the band still holds to today. This unique essence has stayed with the band, whether in the forefront or accompanying in the background, as they’ve stayed ahead of the curve by reinventing their sound style from the guitar heavy punk, to a techno-laced rock, to a rock and techno infused pop that has carried the band to today. All the while, still holding onto an identifiable sound that let’s the listener know its U2 as soon as they switch on the radio.

Today U2 continues to revitalize the music scene with their performances, and make no mistake, when you see the band live they’re not simply musicians, they’re performers. With elaborate lighting, video, and stage effects, U2 has enough eye-candy to rivet the audience to their seat and then raise them en masse with a rocking, musical performance.

U2 2009 Tour Rumors

Sometimes we read snips and tidbits around the web about concert tours that may or may not be true, but they are always interesting. We bring these juicy nuggets of information to you with a warning that we don’t claim any of them to be true, we don’t back up any of the claims, and we strongly recommend that that you wait for official announcements. That being said, here are some rumored locations:

U2 probable US cities:
New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, San Diego, Philadelphia, Dallas, Phoenix, Kansas City, St Louis, and Boston

U2 probably European cities:
Barcelona (Nou Camp Stadium - probable tour opener), Seville, London, Dublin (Croke Park Stadium), Amsterdam, Paris, Manchester and Glasgow

Bono comments on the setup for the outdoor stadiums they plan to play:
they’re already planning an innovative setup that will allow for 360-degree seating around the stage, which will be moved closer to the center of the field than in any other stadium show. “It’s an engineering feat that creates this real physical proximity to the crowd,” Bono tells Rolling Stone, adding that the band wants to maximize space in the enormous venues to accommodate the many young fans it has made this decade with hits such as “Vertigo.” “We’re going outdoors to try to meet that audience.

The last thing to be rumored is the name of the tour, some suggest U2 will simply go with No Line on the Horizon Tour but it has been rumored that they will use a song lyric instead of the album name. Perhaps 2009 U2 Let Me in the Sound Tour (or even just “In The Sound Tour”) or the Sexy Boots Tour.
From the U2 Facebook page, the 2009 U2 Tour will be called the U2 360° Tour, dates will be annouced at 8am Dublin time on Monday, March 9th.
