U2 announced 12 UK and European stadium shows for April-July 2027 on 29 October 2026; London presales start 2 November.
What Happened
U2 tickets for the band's two London stadium shows in June 2027 will be sold through Ticketmaster UK from Monday 2 November 2026, after the Irish band announced the UK and European leg of its "Carnaval De Luz Presents: The Greatest Show On Earth" world tour on Thursday 29 October 2026. The 12-concert European run opens at Strawberry Arena in Stockholm on 26 April 2027 and ends at Milan's San Siro stadium on 6 July 2027, with British rock band Wolf Alice as special guests at every show.
Key Facts
- U2 announced the UK and European dates on 29 October 2026; the leg has 12 stadium concerts in seven cities between 26 April and 6 July 2027.
- London gets two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, on Friday 18 June and Saturday 19 June 2027, the only UK dates announced so far.
- Wolf Alice will support U2 at all 12 European shows; Beck is the support act on the Latin American dates in Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires.
- A U2.com paid-subscriber presale opens at 10am local time on Monday 2 November, followed by a Visa cardholder presale on 4 November and an artist presale on 5 November.
- General sale opens at 10am on Friday 6 November 2026; buyers can take up to four tickets per show during a presale.
- The tour follows U2's 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, due on 13 November 2026, the band's first new album since Songs of Experience in 2017.
- Spanish dates, an Irish date and more North American concerts are still to be announced.
Why It Matters
This is U2's first stadium tour since 2019, when The Joshua Tree Tour closed with a concert in Mumbai in December that year. That makes the 2027 run the band's first full outdoor stadium tour in about seven years, and demand is expected to be heavy. According to the tour announcement, all the Latin American concerts announced earlier in October have already sold out, and three extra shows were added there.
The European leg is built around large football and athletics stadiums. After Stockholm, the band plays two nights at the Stade de France in Paris on 5 and 8 May, one night at Lisbon's Estadio da Luz on 27 May, and two nights at the Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam on 5 and 6 June. London follows on 18 and 19 June, then Berlin's Olympiastadion on 30 June, before the closing pair of Milan shows on 5 and 6 July.
The London shows explain why "Ticketmaster UK" became one of the most searched terms in Britain on 30 October. Ticketmaster's UK site is listing both Tottenham Hotspur Stadium nights. Its page says the subscriber presale is open only to paid U2.com members who joined by 25 September 2026, each of whom receives a unique code by email; a free U2.com account does not qualify. Any fan can register for the separate artist presale. Official London ticket prices had not been published at the time of writing.
Fans planning to buy should rely on the official U2.com and Ticketmaster pages for times, rules and prices, since reports of the exact presale windows differ slightly between outlets.
European leg at a glance
| City | Venue | 2027 dates |
|---|---|---|
| Stockholm | Strawberry Arena | 26 and 28 April |
| Paris | Stade de France | 5 and 8 May |
| Amsterdam | Johan Cruijff ArenA | 5 and 6 June |
| London | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | 18 and 19 June |

Lisbon (27 May, Estadio da Luz) and Berlin (30 June, Olympiastadion) have one show each.
Impact
Short-term: Fans in the UK and Europe face a busy week from 2 to 6 November, with four presale windows before the general sale. Paid subscribers get the first chance, so anyone who is not a member should register for the artist presale before the deadline set on Ticketmaster.
Long-term: The tour is expected to run well into 2027, with North American and Spanish dates still to come. Strong sales would confirm that heritage rock acts remain among the biggest earners in live music, alongside newer pop stars.
Who is affected: U2 fans in Europe and the UK, including the large Indian diaspora in London; fans in India who saw the band play Mumbai in 2019 and may hope for an Asian leg; promoters, stadiums and ticketing platforms; and Wolf Alice, who gain a stadium audience across the continent.
Key Takeaway
U2's first stadium tour since 2019 reaches Europe with 12 shows from April to July 2027, and London tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster UK in presales from 2 November and to the public on 6 November.
