U2 360 tour announces sell out performances in Australia & New Zealand. 2nd shows just confirmed in Auckland, Melbourne, Brisbane & Sydney! U2 360 is a hit down under with sell outs announced in both New Zealand and Australia. And now, fans who missed out will have another chance to see U2 360 with 2nd shows now confirmed in Auckland on Friday, November 26th at Mt. Smart Stadium; in Melbourne on Friday, December 3rd at Etihad Stadium; in Brisbane on Thursday, December 9th at Suncorp Stadium and in Sydney on Tuesday, December 14th at ANZ Stadium.

Tickets for U2’s 360 Auckland concert at Mt Smart stadium on November 25 went on general sale this morning. The incredible ticket demand for tickets has resulted in a sell-out show, selling in excess of 50,000 tickets in under one hour. There is no confirmation of a second show.

U2 have announced that they will be touring Australia and New Zealand in November and December of this year. U2 have named this their 360° tour starting in Mt. Smart Stadium (their only New Zealand gig of this tour) and ending at the Subiaco Oval in Perth.

Bono and Larry Mullen on stage in Turin Bono had suffered "severe pain with partial paralysis of the lower leg". U2 frontman Bono has taken to the stage for the first time since sustaining a spinal injury in May. The band resumed their world tour in Turin, Italy, where the singer thanked fans for "all the love and letters you've sent me in recent months". He added: "That's in the past now and I'm very much fit for the future." Bono had emergency surgery to save him from possible paralysis, forcing them to postpone the US leg of the tour and a Glastonbury Festival headline slot.

Bono (front man of arguably the biggest band in the world, U2) has revealed that Danger Mouse is working on their next album. Danger Mouse (AKA Brian Burton) made a name for himself on the Gnarls Barkley collaboration in which he worked with rapper Cee Lo Green (Thomas Callaway). Prior to this, he produced a contraversial mashup album that combined an a cappella version of Jay-Z's Black Album with a collection of unauthorised samples from The Beatles self titled album (also known as the While Album).

U2's Broadway music Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark has been hit by another set-back after lead actress Natalie Mendoza was injured during the first preview show. The actress was hit by a rope backstage and suffered concussion during the preview show last Sunday. The performance was also halted five times due to technical difficulties. Lead producer Michael Cohl said "Natalie Mendoza suffered an injury...and, on doctor's orders, will be out of the show for a brief time,"

U2 are "at the absolute limit" with their 360 Degree tour, and are "as big" as they could "ever get". The 'Vertigo' rockers were declared to have the highest grossing tour ever - beating a record set by The Rolling Stones - last week, having made £341million pounds with 20 dates to go, but the tour itself is also the most expensive ever staged, taking 120 lorries to transport its 50-metre tall sound system, stage and lighting rig.

U2 want to put on a "Glastonbury on steroids" performance at this year's festival.

U2 are "gutted" they won't have a new album finished before next year. The 'With or Without You' group had originally planned to release new material by the end of their 360 Degree tour this July, but their commitments have made it impossible to finish sessions for the record, leaving them disappointed.
