Another Irish date has been added for U2’s eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE tour

The tickets for the previously scheduled five nights sold out in minutes on Friday morning.

Fans were met with disappointment and dismay this morning across Ireland as all tickets for U2’s eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour in Ireland were quickly sold out in a matter of minutes.

Five shows were scheduled, a Belfast date and four Dublin shows – all of which sold out on Friday morning. To add insult to injury, tickets from this morning’s sales have already been spotted on secondary sites, for sale at almost €600 a ticket.

However, due to overwhelming demand, Live Nation and MCD have now confirmed that tickets for an extra show for Belfast on 28 October 2018 will go on sale on Friday, 9 February.

It has been confirmed by both Live Nation and MCD that this will be the group’s last show in Ireland for this tour, and no extra dates on top of this can go ahead.

The eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE tour follows last year’s acclaimed stadium run with The Joshua Tree, and will see U2 return to indoor venues, picking up where 2015’s ground-breaking iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour left off.

It follows the recent release of the band’s 14th studio album Songs of Experience.

All General Admission floor tickets to the tour’s shows will be paperless and available online or at the relevant venue box office only. Reserved seating tickets will also be available to purchase from 9am on Friday 9 February both online and via Ticketmaster outlets across the country.
