U2 have announced the European leg of their 2027 world tour, which will include two nights at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Produced by Live Nation Global Touring, Carnaval De Luz presents: The Greatest Show On Earth will hit Europe on April 26 next year with a show at Strawberry Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, with support from Wolf Alice.
The band will also visit Amsterdam, Berlin, Lisbon, Milan and Paris, alongside UK shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 18 & 19. Dates for Spain will be announced soon.
The tour's opening Latin America stretch was announced earlier this month with the first run of shows selling out instantly and additional dates added in Mexico City, São Paulo and Buenos Aires. Details of 2027 North America shows will also be revealed in the coming weeks.
The shows will mark the band’s first stadium dates since wrapping their The Joshua Tree Tour in India at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium on December 15, 2019, and their first live shows since wrapping up their landmark U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere residency in Las Vegas in March 2024.
An Artist Presale will begin on Thursday, November 5, with remaining tickets available during the general onsale starting Friday, November 6 at U2.com.
We can’t say too much about the next leg of The Greatest Show On Earth... but what we can say is, we’ll be wrapping it up in Ireland
The Edge, U2
Meanwhile, Visa, the Official Sponsor of Carnaval De Luz presents: The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour, is giving cardholders access to presale tickets in the EU and UK from Wednesday, November 4.
U2's new album Carnaval De Luz is set for release on November 13, 2026, via Island Records. A new track titled The Greatest Show On Earth is out now. Co-written by U2 and Brian Eno, it is the third single to be taken from the LP.
The Irish rock legends recently celebrated their 50th anniversary with a lunchtime show for students and teachers at their old school, Mount Temple Comprehensive, on September 25, as well as a special surprise performance on Dublin’s Grafton Street.
The group already have plans for The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour in the works for 2028, including a return home to Ireland.
“We can’t say too much about the next leg of The Greatest Show On Earth – we’re still figuring it out – but what we can say is, we’ll be wrapping it up in Ireland," said The Edge. "There’s nowhere else we’d want to be for that party.”
