U2 have added 12 stadium concerts across seven European cities to their 2027 Greatest Show on Earth tour. Wolf Alice will support the newly announced leg, which runs from Stockholm on April 26 to Milan on July 6.

The October 29 announcement also sets out several ticket routes. A paid U2.com subscription and the separate Artist Presale registration are different arrangements, with different entry days and a registration deadline that arrives before either sale.
Put the registration deadline before the sale dates
The official announcement gives this sequence:
- November 1: Artist Presale registration closes at 22:59 GMT.
- November 2: Feedback subscribers enter the subscriber presale; The Hype follows on November 3.
- November 4: Visa presale runs from 10:00 to 22:00 local time, while supply lasts.
- November 5: Artist Presale starts at 10:00 local time; Lisbon is excluded.
- November 6: General sale is listed for 10:00 GMT.
Turkey stays on UTC+3. The registration cutoff therefore falls at 01:59 on November 2 in Turkey, and 10:00 GMT is 13:00 Turkish time. A sale marked local time must instead be read against the concert city; it is not automatically 13:00.
The European dates extend an existing tour
The wider Greatest Show on Earth tour was announced on October 15 with Latin American concerts. This update adds a European leg, rather than announcing those earlier shows again. The new list includes two nights each in Stockholm, Paris, Amsterdam, London and Milan, plus Lisbon and Berlin.
Our earlier report on U2 rehearsing for a stadium tour covered preparations. The new announcement supplies the European dates and ticket timetable. The separate Carnaval De Luz vinyl report concerns a record release.
