U2 are bringing their Joshua Tree tour overseas, for shows in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea.
This will mark the first time ever the Irish stadium rockers will perform in Singapore as well as Seoul, South Korea.
“It’s only taken me 30 years to learn how to sing these songs and it’s great to be able to say that I’ve finally caught up with the band,” U2 frontman Bono joked via press release. “Our audience has given the Joshua Tree a whole new life on this tour. Doing these shows has been very special for us, a lot of emotion… From the despair of how relevant some of the dark songs still are, to the joy, pure fun of the staging… it’s quite a ride. And now we get to do it all over again. Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul… We’re coming for you.”
During the show, U2 will perform their landmark 1987 LP in its entirety, as well as a number of favorites from their storied career.
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will also act as support for the band’s November New Zealand and Australia gigs, with the former Oasis guitarist saying, “We, NGHFB, are beside ourselves. The Joshua Tree 2017 Tour was some of the most fun we ever had. It will be both an honour and a pleasure to share the stage with our friends and comrades once again. It’s gonna be a ripper!!!!!”
