Will U2 finally return to Europe’s major stages in 2027?

On 18 February 2026 — Ash Wednesday — U2 released, without prior notice,
a new EP entitled ‘Days of Ash’: six new songs, their first original material since
“Songs of Surrender” (2023) and a clear signal that the band is not
resting on its laurels following the Las Vegas Sphere residency. According to well-connected
fan sources, a full album is set to be released in 2026, though the band has not yet specified an exact date.
The Edge answered the tour question in an interview on U2.com with the line: “We’re
looking forward to getting out on the road.” That was all we got — and that’s where things stand at the moment
.
Anyone hoping for a concert in Germany will need patience. The last time Bono, The
Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. performed on a European stage was in Berlin in 2022. The
last full European tour was in 2018, featuring six German dates — Berlin, Cologne,
Hamburg and other cities, all of which sold out in minutes. What has followed since then was the
Sphere residency in Las Vegas: 40 sold-out shows from September 2023 to March 2024,
160,000 LED panels, a complete 360-degree visual experience centred on ‘Achtung Baby’, as the first
band ever to perform at this venue. Technically the most elaborate concert production in
music history — and certainly not a traditional world tour.
The band’s 50th anniversary falls this year. Formed in Dublin in 1976, 22 Grammy
Awards, over 170 million records sold, tours ranging from ZooTV to the 360° Tour featuring
the largest stage structure in concert history — U2 have eventually surpassed every benchmark they
set for themselves. Whether the 2026 anniversary will coincide with a tour 
announcement, or whether the new album will come first and the tour follow in 2027, remains
to be seen. Both scenarios are realistic.
One thing is certain: when U2 announce a tour, tickets sell out within hours
. That was the case in 2018, it was the case in Las Vegas in 2023, and it will be no different next time
. If you want to be there, you’ll either need perfect timing for the presale or
a reliable route on the secondary market. Set up a ticket alert on ticketbande.de
