The legendary Irish rock icons U2 are set to return to the global stage with their breathtaking new spectacle, the “Cathedrals of Sound Tour.” Known for transforming stadiums into spiritual, immersive experiences, the band is once again pushing creative boundaries with a production that promises towering visuals, cinematic lighting, and the kind of anthemic atmosphere only U2 can deliver. Anticipation is already surging as fans prepare for what could become one of the most defining tours of 2026.
The Cathedrals of Sound Tour is expected to blend the band’s timeless classics with powerful newer material, creating a setlist that bridges generations. From soaring sing-alongs to intimate acoustic moments, the show is designed to feel both monumental and deeply personal. With cutting-edge stage architecture inspired by cathedral-like structures of light and sound, each performance will aim to elevate the concert experience into something almost transcendent.
Cities across North America, Europe, South America, and Asia are preparing for massive stadium nights, including Dublin, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, São Paulo, Tokyo, and Sydney. Each venue will host a fully immersive production built specifically for the tour, reinforcing U2’s reputation for delivering ambitious, technologically advanced live performances that redefine what a rock concert can be.
The Cathedrals of Sound Tour officially begins on May 9, 2026 in Dublin before crossing into Europe in June, North America in July, South America in September, and concluding in Sydney on November 21, 2026. With dates now revealed and global demand intensifying, 2026 is shaping up to be another historic chapter in U2’s unparalleled live legacy.
