U2 continue to build out their U2:UV live campaign beyond Las Vegas. According to the band’s official tour and ticket listings, dates now stretch from the Sphere in early 2025 into a European stadium run through August 2025, with further extensions expected as demand holds.
U2:UV keeps Las Vegas busy
The core of U2’s current live activity remains the Sphere in Las Vegas, where the band launched U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere in September 2023 and quickly turned it into a residency built around their 1991 album.Official U2 tour page
For U.S. fans, the key news is that the Sphere run continues into 2025, with fresh blocks of dates made available in quarterly waves and dynamic pricing keeping tickets in the $140 to $500-plus range before fees, depending on section and night.
European stadiums follow Las Vegas
Outside the United States, U2 have lined up a full European stadium leg for summer 2025, including major cities such as London, Dublin, Berlin and Paris, with most shows scheduled in June, July and August in football arenas with 50,000-plus capacity.
Promoter and venue listings indicate that many of these European dates are close to sold out, with additional nights added in select markets, suggesting that the live run is effectively locked in through late August 2025 and positioned to bridge into 2026 festival and stadium opportunities.
