History

Historical Context

In June 2009 U2 launched the 360° Tour, featuring the 164-foot “Claw” stage that let audiences surround the band. The production became the highest-grossing concert tour, selling 7.3 million tickets and setting attendance records such as 97,014 at the Rose Bowl. Its scale has become a benchmark that newer stadium tours now emulate.
