U2<\/a>\u2019s Joshua Tree<\/em> Tour \u2013 which celebrated the 30th anniversary of the landmark album in stadiums across Europe and North and South America in 2017 \u2013 is headed to Australia and Asia in November and December for an encore run. The shows will mark their first concerts in Australia since 2010 and their first appearances ever in Singapore and South Korea.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only taken me 30 years to learn how to sing these songs and it\u2019s great to be able to say that I\u2019ve finally caught up with the band,\u201d Bono said in a statement. \u201cOur audience has given the Joshua Tree<\/em> a whole new life on this tour. Doing these shows has been very special for us, a lot of emotion\u2026 From the despair of how relevant some of the dark songs still are, to the joy, pure fun of the staging\u2026 it\u2019s quite a ride. And now we get to do it all over again. Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Seoul\u2026 We\u2019re coming for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Edge echoes the sentiment in his own statement. \u201cWe really, REALLY wanted to bring The Joshua Tree<\/em> to New Zealand, Australia and Asia,\u201d he said. \u201cWe promised we would and finally, now we can say that we will see you in November\u2026 It\u2019s going to feel like a homecoming and we are very excited.\u201d<\/p>\n
