Their upcoming tour, Carnaval De Luz Presents: The Greatest Show on Earth, will follow the release of a new album. Here’s what to know about their London dates, the band behind them and registering your interest in VIP tickets and hospitality.

When are U2 playing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?
The U2 London dates currently listed are:
- Friday 18th June 2027 – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
- Saturday 19th June 2027 – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Tottenham is currently their only announced UK venue, with three additional London dates expected to be announced.
The shows mark a significant return for UK fans: U2 last toured Europe in 2018, while their more recent Achtung Baby residency took place at Sphere in Las Vegas. The London concerts bring the band closer to home for audiences who have waited years to see them, pairing a new chapter of music with a catalogue spanning five decades.

U2’s story began in 1976, when Larry Mullen Jr. placed a notice at his Dublin school looking for musicians. The meeting that followed in his family kitchen brought together the teenagers who would go on to form the band.
Today, the group remain Bono on vocals, The Edge on guitar, Adam Clayton on bass and Mullen on drums. That enduring partnership has carried them through changing musical styles and generations of fans.
Their early records established a sound built around distinctive guitar lines, a driving rhythm section and songs with something to say. War brought them their first UK number one album in 1983, before The Joshua Tree helped take their music to an even wider audience.
Songs such as ‘With or Without You’ and ‘Where the Streets Have No Name’ became defining parts of their catalogue. Achtung Baby later pushed their sound in a different direction, while All That You Can’t Leave Behind brought another era of favourites, including ‘Beautiful Day’.
Across that career, U2 have won 22 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year for both The Joshua Tree and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
A band built for the stadium stage
For U2, the stage has long been a place to rethink how their music reaches an audience. Their tours have paired the band’s performance with ambitious visual production, making the setting part of the experience.
The U2 360° Tour became known for its enormous four-legged stage, while The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 placed a vast video screen behind the band. More recently, their Achtung Baby residency at Sphere in Las Vegas explored what an immersive, venue-specific production could offer.
Those shows provide context for the anticipation around their next tour, although the production for the 2027 London concerts has not yet been confirmed.
What songs could U2 play in London?
The 2027 setlist has not been announced. With Carnaval De Luz arriving before the tour, new material could feature alongside songs from across their career.
Fans will be hoping for favourites such as ‘One’, ‘Beautiful Day’, ‘With or Without You’ and ‘Where the Streets Have No Name’. Their inclusion has not been confirmed, but the depth of U2’s catalogue gives the band decades of music to draw from.
