The 1987 album sold more than 25 million copies worldwide,
and topped charts with its hits "With Or Without You", "Where
The Streets Have No Name" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For".
"Recently I listened back to 'The Joshua Tree' for the first
time in nearly 30 years ... it's quite an opera. A lot of
emotions which feel strangely current, love, loss, broken
dreams, seeking oblivion, polarization ... all the greats,"
frontman Bono said in a statement.
The north American leg of the tour will kick off in May in
Vancouver, followed by a European section starting in London in
July and including an appearance back home at Dublin's Croke
Park stadium.
OneRepublic, Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers will support the
band in America, and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds in
Europe.
