Irish rockers U2 said on Monday they would mark the 30th anniversary of their hit album “The Joshua Tree” by playing it in full on a European and North American tour.
The 1987 album sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, and topped charts with its hits “With Or Without You”, “Where The Streets Have No Name” and “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”.
“Recently I listened back to ‘The Joshua Tree’ for the first time in nearly 30 years … it’s quite an opera. A lot of emotions which feel strangely current, love, loss, broken dreams, seeking oblivion, polarization … all the greats,” frontman Bono said in a statement.
OneRepublic, Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers will support the band in America, and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in Europe.
