U2 Announce 'Joshua Tree' 30th Anniversary Tour, First U.S. Festival Date Ever

FUSE TV - U2 Announce 'Joshua Tree' 30th Anniversary Tour, First U.S. Festival Date Ever

U2 will be touring for the 30th anniversary of Joshua Tree, including a stop at Bonnaroo—their first time headlining a festival in the U.S.

Although the Irish band have been adamant about giving shine to new music, guitarist the Edge explains to Rolling Stone that they reconsidered an anniversary tour after the American election, saying that Joshua Tree is more relevant than ever.

"That record was written in the mid-'80s, during the Reagan-Thatcher era of British and U.S. politics," The Edge told the mag. "It was a period when there was a lot of unrest. Thatcher was in the throes of trying to put down the miners' strike; there was all kinds of shenanigans going on in Central America. It feels like we're right back there in a way."

He went on:

"I don't think any of our work has ever come full circle to that extent. It just felt like, 'Wow, these songs have a new meaning and a new resonance today that they didn't have three years ago, four years ago.' And so it was kind of serendipitous, really, just the realization that we needed to put the album on ice for a minute just to really think about it one more time before putting it out, just to make sure that it really was what we wanted to say."
