The UK tour dates are as follows:

Sat 22 August Millennium Stadium, Cardiff
U2 360° will utilise a unique and original structure U2's manager Paul McGuinness says, "U2 has always been at their best when surrounded by their audience, this staging takes a giant leap forward. With 85 percent of the tickets priced at less than 95 Euro, general admission floor tickets priced at 55 euro and at least 10,000 tickets at every venue priced at around 30 Euro, we have worked very hard to ensure that U2 fans can purchase a great priced ticket with a guaranteed great view."
In keeping with their long-standing tradition, U2 will welcome a number of different support acts to the tour including Glasvegas, Elbow, Kaiser Chiefs, Snow Patrol, and Black Eyed Peas with additional artists to be announced.
The public on sale date for tickets to these dates will be on Friday 20th March.
