U2 set two London stadium dates for 2027 tour with Wolf Alice
U2 have announced UK and European dates for their Carnaval De Luz presents The Greatest Show On Earth world tour, including two nights at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June 2027.
The stadium run will begin in Stockholm on 26 April before taking in Paris, Lisbon, Amsterdam, London, Berlin and Milan. Wolf Alice will support across the UK and European dates, while Beck will join the band for the previously announced Latin American shows.
London will host U2 on 18 and 19 June, marking the band’s first newly announced UK stadium dates since their last major stadium run concluded in 2019. Spanish dates are still to be announced, while North American shows are expected to follow.

The tour takes its name from U2’s forthcoming sixteenth studio album, Carnaval De Luz, which arrives via Island Records on 13 November 2026. It is the band’s first full album of new material in nine years.
Alongside the tour news, U2 have released the album’s third single, The Greatest Show On Earth. Co-written with Brian Eno, the track arrives with an Anton Corbijn-directed video filmed in the Californian desert, presenting the band as the leaders of a strange religious cult while the women around them do the actual work.

In a joint statement, the band said: “The Greatest Show on Earth? Now that’s a throwdown. It’s a dare, to ourselves as much as anyone, to try and have the best night of anybody’s life.
“A bit of showman, a bit of shaman, a riot of colour, unreasonable guitar, bass and drums, and tunes you can hold onto.
“Because if people are gonna show up, we certainly are.”
