U2 Announce 2027 European Tour Ahead of New Album ‘Carnaval De Luz’
U2 are preparing to release Carnaval De Luz, their first album of new material in nine years, on November 13, 2026. The Irish band have also announced a major European stadium tour for 2027, with additional concerts recently confirmed in several cities following strong ticket demand.
Titled The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour, the tour will take the band across Europe and the UK between April and July 2027, with Wolf Alice joining as special guests.
A New Album After Nine Years
Produced by Jacknife Lee, Carnaval De Luz is U2's 16th studio album and arrives during the band's 50th anniversary year.
The 12-track record includes the singles “Street of Dreams,” “Silencio” and “The Greatest Show On Earth.” Brian Eno contributed to several tracks, while other collaborators include Martin Garrix and Daniel Lanois.
The album follows two six-track EPs released earlier in 2026, Days of Ash and Easter Lily, which emerged from the same recording period.
European Tour Expands for 2027
U2 will begin the European leg of The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour in Stockholm on April 26, 2027.
The itinerary includes nine cities, with performances in Paris, Barcelona, Seville, Lisbon, Amsterdam, London, Berlin and Milan.
Following the initial tour announcement, additional shows were confirmed in several cities on November 5 and 6.
