About The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour

Carnaval De Luz presents: The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour will be U2's first stadium tour since The Joshua Tree Tour that ended in 2019, as well as the band's first shows since their Las Vegas residency ended in March 2024. It'll also see all four members of U2 performing – drummer Larry Mullen Jr missed the Sphere residency as he recovered from surgery.

The tour gets its Carnaval De Luz presents moniker from the title of U2's upcoming new album Carnaval De Luz. The twelve tracks (produced by Jacknife Lee) will see U2 working alongside Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois and marks their first new studio album in almost nine years – the last was 2017's Songs of Experience. Carnaval De Luz is due to be released 13 November 2026 via Interscope Records.

The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour will mark U2's first shows in Latin America since they visited on Joshua Tree Tour in October 2017. Read our review of U2's last visit to Mexico here.

Beck has been announced as the special support act for all currently-announced Greatest Show On Earth Tour dates.

More dates across the world including in North America and Europe will be announced "in the coming weeks".

As U2 have said:

• "a dare, to ourselves as much as anyone, to try and have the best night of anybody's life"

• "a riot of colour, unreasonable guitar, bass and drums, and tunes you can hold onto"

• "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

• "New Year's Day"

• "With or Without You"

• "Unos, dos, tres, catorce"

More will no doubt emerge but for now here is more information on the tour including details on set list, staging and whether or not the (RED) Zone will be making a return.

U2 have spoken of the possibility of returning to Ireland to perform with bassist Adam Clayton hinting at a show in Dublin although details including venue have yet to be worked out.

In Mexico City the band played at what was then (before a name change in 2024) known as the Foro Sol while in São Paulo they performed at what was then named Morumbi Stadium.

U2 were formed in Dublin in 1976 when drummer Larry Mullen Jr put a notice up on a school noticeboard and Adam Clayton (bass) and The Edge (guitar – whose brother Dik was in the band originally but left in 1978) and lead singer Bono completed the line-up. U2 have won twenty-two Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005.

There's currently no start times confirmed for either of the shows in Buenos Aires.

Dates Still To Be Announced

The above Latin American shows are just an initial tranche of tour dates with further European and North American shows set to be announced "in the coming weeks".

So if you're based in Europe, the UK, in the United States or Canada, then there's still no tickets available to buy!

There are also rumblings of additional shows in some cities including in Mexico City, São Paulo and Buenos Aires but at this stage only six shows in Latin America have been confirmed.

U2 are also reported to be in talks about a Dublin show too although this is currently venue-less.

The Venues

Three stadiums, all of them among the largest buildings their cities have.

• Estadio GNP Seguros (Mexico City, Mexico): Known as Foro Sol until it was renamed in June 2024, this is the open-air stadium built inside the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Iztacalco, in the east of the city near the airport. Concert capacity is around 65,000. U2 played here on 3 October 2017 when it still carried the old name.
• Estádio MorumBIS (São Paulo, Brazil): São Paulo FC's home ground in the Morumbi district, and one of the stadiums that has anchored Brazilian stadium touring for decades. The sponsored MorumBIS name is recent; U2 played the same ground as Morumbi on 19 October 2017.
• Estadio River Plate (Buenos Aires, Argentina): Officially Estadio Más Monumental, in the Belgrano neighbourhood, and at roughly 85,000 the largest stadium in Argentina and in South America. An expansion to 101,000 with a roof over the stands was announced in January 2026, so the configuration for these shows has not been published.

U2 2027 Tour Ticket Information

Where To Buy U2 Tickets

Official floor plans for each stadium have not yet been announced by the band or promoter Live Nation. There are reports coming from South America suggesting the shows will follow a format of no seats behind the main stage and a pitch area broken up into various sections around a potential B-stage but this has yet to be confirmed.

However, these will follow a usual stadium format of standing (floor) tickets to gain access to the pitch and various tiers of seating higher up the stadium bowl. We would expect there to be some type of floor pricing too but whether there will be another charity focused area such as the previous (RED) Zone to help raise money for the (RED) organisation's fight against AIDS we do not know yet.

Official presale tickets will go on sale via U2.com subscribers presale on Monday 19 October 2026 with on sale times at 10am local time. The U2 2027 Tickets general on sale is on Thursday 22 October 2026 three days later.

If you cannot secure U2 2027 tour tickets during presale or the general on-sale period then you may be able to source some via fan to fan ticket sales websites. On resale sites such as Ticombo you can browse resale tickets from other fans who may be unable to attend the U2 show. These prices are set by the seller not Ticombo and you'll be able to see some seat/section information entered by the seller. We always recommend attempting to buy from the promoter first but Ticombo offers Order Protection so if your tickets don't arrive for whatever reason you will get your money back.

Who Are U2?

Formed in Dublin in 1976 when then schoolboy drummer Larry Mullen Jr pinned a notice on his school's noticeboard looking for fellow musicians to start a band, U2 have gone on to become one of rock music's most celebrated four-piece's.

Clayton and guitarist The Edge answered Mullen's call along with local lad Bono who completed the line-up that – apart from original guitarist and Edge's older brother Dik who left in 1978 – has stayed the same since.

After an initial punk-influenced sound, U2 quickly moved to more expansive arena-friendly songs and became one of the biggest rock bands in the world during the '80s and '90s with albums such as War, October, The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Rattle And Hum, Achtung Baby, Zooro and Pop earning them global acclaim and a raft of Grammy Awards – twenty-two in total – and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction (2005).

With Mullen absent from their 2023-2024 'UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere' Las Vegas residency following surgery (Utrecht-based Krezip's Bram van den Berg filling in), this will be the first time all four original members of U2 have performed together in some time.

After teasing their return, U2 are releasing the twelve track Carnaval De Luz on 13 November 2026 (twelve written and performed by U2, all produced by Jacknife Lee with U2 regular collaborators Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois appearing on the new album).

The band described the tour title as

U2's Biggest Songs

With or Without You

The song that opens with a bassline and a held breath. Thirty-nine years on it is still the one the whole stadium sings without being asked.

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Gospel structure, doubt as lyric. It has closed more U2 sets than almost anything else and it works at any size of room.

Sunday Bloody Sunday

The 1983 song about Derry that the band spent decades being careful with. Rarely played in full in recent years, but when it appears it reframes the whole night.

One

From Achtung Baby, written while the band were close to breaking up in Berlin, and now their most covered song. Expect it.

Beautiful Day

The comeback single from All That You Can't Leave Behind in 2000, and the one that re-established them for a second generation.

Where the Streets Have No Name

The Edge's opening figure is the single most recognisable guitar sound the band has. It is almost always the song that starts the real part of the set.

Pride (In the Name of Love)

From The Unforgettable Fire, and the clearest example of what U2 do when they aim a stadium at a subject.

Vertigo

The 2004 single that proved they could still write a riff that detonates in an arena. "Unos, dos, tres, catorce" also happens to be the most on-theme possible thing to shout in Mexico City.

Carnaval De Luz: The New Album

U2's new album, Carnaval De Luz will be released on 13 November 2026 just three months ahead of the band kicking-off their new tour.

U2 shared details of the 12 track record produced by Grammy winner Jacknife Lee. The songs deal with themes of spirituality, friendship, freedom and survival. The band have already shared two songs from the album; lead track "Street Of Dreams" back in July and more recently, their second single "Silencio".

Fans will be waiting to see how many new songs U2 will perform on their 2027 tour but you can bet they'll kick off each show with at least a couple of tracks from Carnaval De Luz.

• "The Greatest Show On Earth": Co-written with Brian Eno and released as the third single from the upcoming Carnaval De Luz album. The Anton Corbijn directed music video was filmed in the California desert and released on 15 October 2026 alongside the song.
• "The Mirror Maker": Feating Grammy and Latin Grammy nominated artist Rosalía.
• "Silencio": U2's second single from Carnaval De Luz features lyrics in Spanish and English and was co-written with OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who also provided production assistance on the song.
• "Glorify": Co-written with Dutch DJ Martin Garrix.
• "Torn": U2's final song off their upcoming Carnaval De Luz album is a duet with country icon Dolly Parton. U2 and Parton co-wrote "Torn" alongside Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid. The band's statement describes it as what has sadly turned out to be her last recorded vocal performance. Dolly's manager and representatives have confirmed that "Torn" is Parton's final recorded vocal performance. Former Traveling Wilbury Daniel Lanois also contributes pedal steel to the track.

Two EPs Accompany New Album

Ahead of the release of U2's upcoming album, Carnaval De Luz, the Irish rock band surprised fans with the releases of two EPs this year. The Days of Ash EP dropped on Ash Wednesday (18 February 2026) with U2's Easter Lily EP arriving on Good Friday.

The Days of Ash EP features a song called "Yours Eternally" which features vocals from Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia. The Easter Lily EP closes with an instrumental version.

What To Expect At A U2 Show

• U2 have a history of incredible stage shows. From ZOO TV's television walls, to the claw on their 360° tour, to the jaw dropping screens at their Las Vegas Sphere residency, you can expect another high-concept concert show when U2 take Carnaval De Luz to stadiums this year.
• Beck headlines ahead of U2 on all six announced tour dates. The tour was announced as a "riot of colour" ranging from his Odelay album through to his recent release Morning Phase.
• There's currently no indication of what the length of U2's shows will be like on this tour. Recently though, their stadium shows have been running around two hours and ten minutes.
• As with recent tours, you should expect most of U2's greatest hits to be concentrated into the second half of the set with the first half of the show likely focusing more on songs from U2's new album, Carnaval De Luz.
• Of course, expect a few words from U2 frontman Bono midway through the show. Talking about political and charitable causes has always been part and parcel of a U2 gig.

When To Buy U2 Tickets

Tickets for U2's Latin American shows go on sale on Thursday, 22 October 2026. If you're a subscriber, you can buy tickets during U2.com access presale, starting three days earlier on Monday, 19 October 2026.

Tickets will be limited for this tour as U2 are only stopping-off in three cities on six announced dates, and it will likely be one of the hardest U2 tours to get tickets for in recent years.

• Mexico City: U2 have already played in Mexico City's huge stadium (fitting around 65,000 people) and sold-out both shows when they visited in 2017. There's two shows on this leg of U2's 2027 tour. At the moment, Mexico City is the only city with a confirmed on sale date.
• São Paulo: The band will play two shows in Brazil after the longest layover of the tour.
• Buenos Aires: U2 will finish off their South American run at Argentina's El Monumental. The stadium usually holds around 85,000 people, however after a redevelopment in January 2026, it's unclear how it'll be configured for U2's visit. Show start times have yet to be finalised.

As soon as tickets for U2's South American tour went on sale, fans headed to Ticombo, our fan-to-fan ticket marketplace. Prices change regularly, as tickets are listed by fellow fans at a price of their choosing. The most availability is usually right after tickets first go on sale and again closer to the show, typically in the last couple of weeks. Ticombo offers guarantees to both buyers and sellers.
