| The Elevation Tour is U2's first arena tour since 1992. PJ Harvey will be the opening act.
Most dates were sold out hours after
they went on sale, prompting promoters to have multiple shows in the same city. The demand for this
band must be huge, if you think about it. In some cities there are 4 consecutive sold out shows in
huge arena venues. That is nuts. But it's U2, the band that brought you the Zoo TV tour
and the massive Pop Mart tour, so what do you expect.
The show designer for the tour is Willie WIlliams, who has worked with the band since 1982.1
Pop Mart played to over 3.9 million people worldwide after all was said and done. This tour probably
won't be as big, but if it is close, there are going to be some everythingians going to these shows.
