Welcome to @U2 Tours (beta)!We're still in the process of moving everything from U2tours.com to our new home here on @U2. As you use the site, you might find some bugs and you'll probably find missing information -- particularly setlist details like snippets. We'd love your help as we continue to work on the site! Please see the "welcome guide" web pages for an overview of the new site, as well as details on how to join the effort to finish building the site -- either casually or as a member of the @U2 staff. Thanks! Latest U2 ConcertJuly 03, 2018 , 8:00pmTour: Experience + Innocence Tour 1st Leg (North America) Venue: Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Connecticut, United States Main Set
U2 ends the first leg of the Experience + Innocence tour by returning to Connecticut for their 17th performance there and the first time since the Vertigo tour in 2005. It is also the first time they have played in a city in Connecticut other than Hartford or New Haven. The show, at the smallest venue so far on the tour, gets off to possibly the latest start yet, with the band not hitting the stage until 8:50pm local time. No set list surprises with exception of “Gloria” returning to the rotating fifth spot after missing three shows. “…Father Flanagan right in front of you,” is tonight’s “Beautiful Day” name-check.

U2 releases augmented reality app for Experience + Innocence tourPosted: April 23, 2018
With opening night just nine days away, U2's plans to incorporate augmented reality into the Experience + Innocence tour are becoming clearer. Tonight the band announced the availability of a new mobile app called U2 Experience that's available free for both iOS and Android devices. A U2.com email promoting the app offers the most detailed explanation of how the app will work: #U2eiTour will see a specially curated AR scene-setter -- triggered by the 100-foot-long LED wall running the length of the arena floor -- herald the band's arrival on stage. Then check out the opening song... for a live show experience you can share with all your friends, as well as thousands of other fans at the show. Once downloaded, the app asks for access to your device's camera and invites you to test it out by pointing the camera at any image of the Songs Of Experience album cover. When you do that, Bono's image appears as if he's coming out of the album cover and he sings a short bit of "Love Is All We Have Left." (see image above) The band's plans to use AR on the tour first came to light a month ago when tour director Willie Williams mentioned it to Rolling Stone magazine in a brief tour preview.
