U2 announce three Irish 'homecoming' gigs

U2 will play three dates in Ireland this year.

The band announced this morning that, as part of their upcoming tour, they will play two nights at Dublin’s 3 Arena and one night at the SSE Arena in Belfast.

Bono and the lads will bring their Experience + Innocence tour to their hometown on the 5th and 6th November, after playing Belfast on October 27th.

Tickets are to go on sale on Friday 2 February, and the tour itself has been described as a "sequel" to their 2015 world tour, as the band continue to explore the cutting edge of technology available for indoor gigs, including multiple performance areas, a state-of-the-art sound system, plus an all-new super high-res LED screen, which is said to be nine times the one used in 2015.
