U2 adds 12 more dates to Joshua Tree tour
U2's celebration of the 30th anniversary of their "The Joshua Tree" album is going so well, they're going to keep it going a little bit longer.
The Irish rock band has extended its current Joshua Tree tour for an extra two months, with 12 additional shows added in North and South America, the band announced Wednesday. The tour was originally set to wrap up August 1.
The 30th anniversary celebration of the band's seminal album "The Joshua Tree" kicked off last month and had previously been announced to run until Aug. 1.
The tour will now take August off and then resume on Sept. 3 in Detroit. In October, the band will head to Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil before bringing the tour to a close on Oct. 19.
Outspoken former Oasis front-man Noel Gallagher will open for U2 on the tour's South American dates with his band, High Flying Birds.
