The announcement of NKOTB and U2: A Night of Faith & Fire Tour instantly sent shockwaves through the music world, uniting two seemingly different giants on one stage for a bold, once-in-a-generation live experience. Blending NKOTB’s infectious pop anthems and crowd-fuelled charisma with U2’s towering, soul-stirring stadium rock, the tour promises something far beyond nostalgia. It’s a collision of eras, faith, emotion, and firepower—designed to feel cinematic, emotional, and unforgettable from the first note to the final encore.
Rather than leaning into a traditional co-headline format, the tour is being positioned as a shared musical journey. NKOTB bring the energy, connection, and joyous sing-alongs that defined a generation, while U2 deliver sweeping soundscapes, political edge, and spiritual intensity. The contrast is intentional, creating a night that moves from celebration to reflection and back again, with both acts reportedly collaborating on select moments that will exist only on this tour.
Fans can expect a production built for massive venues, featuring immersive visuals, dramatic lighting, and carefully curated setlists that honor each band’s legacy without diluting their identities. Industry insiders are already calling it one of the most daring tour concepts of the decade, appealing not just to lifelong fans but to anyone drawn to live music that takes risks and tells a bigger story.
The A Night of Faith & Fire Tour is set to launch in 2026 with dates revealed for May 14 – Los Angeles (SoFi Stadium), May 18 – Chicago (Soldier Field), May 22 – Toronto (Rogers Centre), May 27 – New York (MetLife Stadium), June 2 – London (Wembley Stadium), June 6 – Paris (Stade de France), June 10 – Berlin (Olympiastadion), and June 15 – Dublin (Croke Park), marking a limited run designed to feel historic rather than routine.
