U2 360 Tour Returns to Denver
The U2 360 tour returned to North America last night with a sold out show at Invesco Stadium at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.
This U2 360 show first toured USA in fall 2009, playing 17 dates across the country culminating in the record breaking sold-out show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena and streamed live worldwide via YouTube.
The North American tour was postponed last May after singer Bono injured his back, but the dates were quickly reinstated. Bono thanked the Denver audience for their patience, "Through the wonders of science I'm not just fixed, I'm better! Bono 2.0..."
"It took a little longer to get here than we originally planned, but it's great to be back in North America. The band would like to thank all the fans who stood by them - it wasn't taken for granted,' said U2 manager Mr McGuinness.
The concert featured a video message from Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi (recently released from house arrest in Rangoon) speaking directly to U2 fans who lobbied for her freedom throughout both the U2 360 and Vertigo tours.
So far U2 360 has played to 5 million people across Europe, Russia, North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand.
The tour, which started in Barcelona on June 30th, 2009 will visit an additional 18 cities across North America before finishing on July 30th in Moncton.
