U2 announce Innocence and Experience 2015 tour dates

Despite Bono’s recent spill and untold recovery time, U2 have chosen to roll the dice and announced dates for the Innocence and Experience tour, set to begin May 14th in Vancouver. The first two legs of the tour will, unsurprisingly, cover 19 cities in North America and western Europe. It is unknown whether the tour will be extended beyond these two legs, or if the titular Songs of Experience will be released in conjunction with the tour.

It’s also unknown whether or not the plans to perform electric sets one night and acoustic sets the other throughout these lengthy residencies will be implemented. In fact, a lot of things are unknown. But you can purchase your tickets as early as December 4th via presale, or December 8th in the general sale.
