Commenting on the tour, U2 manager Paul McGuinness said: "With 85% of the tickets priced at less than €95, general admission floor tickets priced at €55 and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at around €30, we have worked very hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view."

Among the support acts that will join U2 on the tour are: Glasvegas, Elbow, Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol and Black Eyed Peas, with more artists to be announced in the near future.
