Veteran Irish rockers U2 will reportedly top the lineup of the 2017 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. The band will be among the headliners of next summer’s annual event as part of a tour in support of the 30th anniversary of their landmark LP The Joshua Tree.
Billboard magazine (via Yahoo) reports “U2 will be hitting U.S. stadiums beginning in late spring, followed by a run through Europe.” If Billboard’s sources are correct, Bono and Co. will be making their first appearance at Bonnaroo, which once again is taking place in Manchester, Tennessee on June 8 – 11. U2 will also purportedly hold a two-night stand at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The band teased a “big year” in a video message posted on Facebook in which Bono also confirmed in 2017 the group will issue their new LP entitled Songs Of Experience, the follow-up to 2014’s Songs Of Innocence. Here’s the clip:
