U2 Officially Announces 2025 Reunion Tour — “The Sphere Returns Tour” Set to Launch Global Comeback
After years of speculation and a wave of anticipation, U2 has officially confirmed their 2025 reunion tour, marking their first major international tour since the conclusion of their Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary Tour and the Experience + Innocence Tour in 2018. The upcoming tour, titled “The Sphere Returns Tour 2025,” promises a bold new chapter in the band’s legendary live performance history.
The tour kicks off on August 15, 2025, at Las Vegas’ MSG Sphere, the groundbreaking venue where the band redefined live visuals during their 2023-2024 residency.
Back on the Road — And Bigger Than Ever
Known for pushing the boundaries of arena rock with innovation and spectacle, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. are returning to stages across the globe with a reimagined sound, a groundbreaking visual experience, and a renewed message of hope and unity.
This marks the first full-scale global tour featuring drummer Larry Mullen Jr. since his medical hiatus, making it a particularly emotional and meaningful comeback for fans worldwide.
“We’ve missed the connection,” said Bono in an official statement. “The world has changed—but our belief in the power of music to bring people together hasn’t. This tour is a return to everything that makes U2 what it is—bold, loud, and full of heart.”
A Tour Designed for the Future
“The Sphere Returns Tour 2025” will blend U2’s timeless anthems with the cutting-edge immersive experience developed during their historic Las Vegas residency.
