The U2 360° Tour has recently finished up a European leg and is due to arrive in New Zealand and Australia before Christmas - by the time it reaches South Africa, U2 360° will have been seen by over 4,5 million fans.

With a cylindrical video system of interlocking LED panels, and a steel structure rising 150 feet from the floor over a massive stage with rotating bridges, the band has strived to create an intimate 360o experience for concertgoers. Long-time U2 Show Director Willie Williams has worked again with architect Mark Fisher (ZooTV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo), to create an innovative 360 design, which affords an unobstructed view for the audience.

“To have an in-the-round transportable stadium production is something that the touring industry has been trying to figure out for some time. The extra capacity U2 360° gives us means that there are a large number, several thousand in fact, of low priced tickets at every show”, said U2 tour producer/promoter Arthur Fogel, CEO of Live Nation Global Touring. “With its unique staging configuration, U2 360° has excellent sight-lines”.

Tickets in both cities will start at R161, with General Admission floor tickets available at R401. Reserved seat tickets are also available, starting at R428 in Cape Town and R696 in Johannesburg.
Tickets for the U2 performances in South Africa will go on sale Saturday October 23 through Computicket (www.computicket.com or 083915800). U2.com subscribers will be able to buy tickets ahead of the public on-sale. Full details are at www.u2.com.
