U2 announce Lisbon concert at Estádio da Luz for 27 May 2027, tickets on sale 6 November

Lisbon date confirmed

U2 will play the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon on 27 May 2027, Live Nation Portugal said in a statement issued on 29 October. The concert forms part of the Carnaval De Luz presents: The Greatest Show On Earth world tour, which will take Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. back to stadiums. Wolf Alice will open the European shows, including the Lisbon date. The confirmation followed a billboard that had sparked rumours about the band's return to Portugal. The Lisbon concert is excluded from the band's European presale, so Portuguese buyers follow their own schedule.

European leg and UK dates

The European leg opens in Stockholm on 26 April 2027, with two nights at the Strawberry Arena on 26 and 28 April. Paris follows with two nights at the Stade de France on 5 and 8 May, and Lisbon falls between that and Amsterdam, where the Johan Cruijff ArenA hosts shows on 5 and 6 June. Berlin's Olympiastadion stages a single date on 30 June, and Milan's Stadio San Siro hosts two nights on 5 and 6 July. The UK leg includes two London dates at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 18 and 19 June. Spanish dates will be announced later, and the promoter said the North American schedule will follow in the coming weeks.

Latin America, the album and the tour's end

Additional dates were added in Mexico City, São Paulo and Buenos Aires after the first shows sold out, the promoter said. The Latin American leg opens in Mexico in February, followed by São Paulo in March, where the shows are already sold out. The band's new album, Carnaval De Luz, is due on 13 November and is its first album of original material in nine years. Its tracks include collaborations with Brian Eno, Martin Garrix and Daniel Lanois, plus Torn, recorded with Dolly Parton, which the band's website describes as the country singer's last recording. The Edge said the tour will end in Ireland, a place the band said it would not rather be for its 50th anniversary celebration.
