U2: Five Decades of International Rock History
Formed in Dublin in 1976, U2 has established itself as one of the most influential bands in rock history. Featuring Bono (vocals), The Edge (guitar), Adam Clayton (bass), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums), the band has maintained its four original members throughout five decades of musical history.
The band achieved international recognition during the 1980s with albums such as War (1983), The Unforgettable Fire (1984), and especially The Joshua Tree (1987), widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
Later releases, including Achtung Baby (1991), Zooropa (1993), and All That You Can’t Leave Behind (2000), demonstrated the band’s ability to reinvent its sound while remaining true to its identity.
With 22 Grammy Awards and millions of records sold worldwide, U2 has connected with generations of fans through its iconic songs, spectacular international tours, and commitment to social and humanitarian causes.

U2’s Connection to Barcelona
Barcelona holds a special place in U2’s touring history. In June 2009, the band chose Camp Nou to launch its spectacular U2 360° Tour, a groundbreaking production featuring a circular stage and an enormous structure known as The Claw.
Years later, in July 2017, the band returned to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys with The Joshua Tree anniversary tour, celebrating the 30th anniversary of one of its most iconic albums.
In May 2027, U2 will reunite with Barcelona audiences at the same Montjuïc venue, ten years after that memorable performance.
The Greatest Show On Earth: U2’s New World Tour
The 2027 tour marks U2’s return to major international stadiums, with a production designed to combine music, visual spectacle, and a shared experience with the audience.
The tour accompanies the release of Carnaval de Luz, the band’s new studio album, scheduled for November 13, 2026.
During the concerts, fans will have the opportunity to experience a musical journey through U2’s career, featuring songs from different periods of the band’s history alongside tracks from its new album.
Iconic songs such as With or Without You, One, Beautiful Day, and Where the Streets Have No Name are part of the band’s remarkable legacy, although the final setlist for the concerts has yet to be confirmed.
The tour will begin in Latin America in February 2027 before continuing through Europe in April, with performances in cities including Paris, London, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Berlin, and Milan.
The Barcelona concerts will take place on Thursday, May 13, and Saturday, May 15, 2027, at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, with British band Wolf Alice as the special guest.
