U2 To Wrap European Leg In Rome
October 08, 2010 - Touring

By Ray Waddell

After postponing its second North American leg due to back surgery for
frontman Bono, U2 is back in fine form and wraps the sold out second
European leg of the record-breaking 360 tour tonight at Olympic
Stadium in Rome.

The band will take a break until they start up in New Zealand in late
November and then head to Australia for a series of stadium shows with
rapper Jay-Z opening.

U2 will return to North America next year for its make-up dates and
sources say they are adding a few more shows to that route. The band
is also planning shows in Capetown and Johannesburg, South Africa, in
February, their first trip to that continent since the PopMart tour in
1998. In the spring, the band will likely head to South America before
returning to North American shores.

The tour seems to have lost no momentum on its march toward becoming
the highest-grossing tour in history; two shows in Mexico City sold
out quickly at 85,000 tickets each for shows at Azteca Stadium in May
of next year.
