U2's North American tour to begin in California
U2 will kick off its 2005 Vertigo tour March 28 in San Diego, the band said Monday. Sixteen North American dates are on tap so far for the first leg of the tour, which will wrap May 26 in Boston.
The band has also confirmed 24 European summer dates, beginning June 10 in Brussels and concluding Aug. 14 in Lisbon. Although a routing has not yet been confirmed, U2 will return to North America for another 30-date leg in the fall.
As on the 2001 Elevation tour, the arena floor will be general admission for about 1,700-1,800 seats, depending on the building.
"This tour will be not unlike the last production in that the lowest priced tickets will be on the floor," says U2 manager Paul McGuinness. "The best seats are the cheapest, and we want people to get excited."
