U2 have added two more UK shows to their eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE tour. They’ll now also be appearing at Manchester Arena on Saturday 20 October, and at London’s O2 on Wednesday 24 October 2018. They join the already on-sale shows on the 19 and 23 October.

Tickets for the new dates will go on sale at 9:00 on Friday 2 February 2018.

The UK shows form part of the massive world tour, which also sees them play venues across the United States in New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and more. The band are currently celebrating last year’s new album Songs of Experience, the follow up to 2014’s partner record Songs of Innocence.

Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr last played the UK in July last year, playing two massive concerts at London’s Twickenham Stadium, joined by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

The shows celebrated thirty years since the release of the iconic Joshua Tree, which included world renowned tracks I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For and With or Without You.

Their latest release, Songs Of Experience, features singles You’re The Best Thing About Me and their collaboration with Kendrick Lamar Get Out Of Your Own Way.
