U2 announced the UK and European leg of its 2027 The Greatest Show On Earth tour on 29 October, adding two London stadium shows to dates across seven European cities. Wolf Alice will support the run, which opens in Stockholm on 26 April.

The London concerts are set for 18 and 19 June at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Ticketmaster UK says they will be U2’s first British stadium dates since 2017, giving UK fans their first such shows in a decade.

Where U2 will play in Europe in 2027

The announced dates run from 26 April to 6 July. Stockholm opens the leg with two shows, followed by two in Paris, one in Lisbon, two in Amsterdam, two in London, one in Berlin and two in Milan. Wolf Alice is listed as support for the UK and European dates.

The London stop is a return to a larger UK stage for the band. Ticketmaster UK identifies U2’s previous British stadium concerts as two Twickenham shows in July 2017 for The Joshua Tree anniversary tour. The band last headlined London at The O2 in October 2018, it says.

The European announcement follows the first dates of the world tour. U2 had already announced South American shows for 2027 and said more dates would follow, NME reported. The new UK and European schedule is the change since the band’s earlier tour announcement.

When the U2 subscriber presale starts

U2 says its subscriber presale begins on Monday, 2 November, at 10am GMT. Ticketmaster UK says paid U2.com subscribers in the Feedback Group can enter on 2 November, while the Hype Group enters on Tuesday, 3 November, at 10am local time. It lists a limit of four tickets per show.

The band says dates in Spain and Ireland are still to be announced. The Edge said the tour would wrap in Ireland, adding: ‘We’re still figuring it out.’ U2 also says North American dates are expected to be announced in the coming weeks; it has not given dates for those shows.
