U2 have revealed the dates for their first major tour since the Vertigo dates wound up three years ago. The band will play on an innovative stage ‘in the round’ which is designed to give unobstructed views for all fans.

The band will play on a central circular beneath a massive four-legged lighting rig and a huge screen which will be visible from all angles. See more about the innovative structure here .
