U2 Announces 2027 World Tour: The Greatest Show On Earth
Beck is set to join the band on their Latin American dates.
U2 will be hitting the road in 2027 with their new world tour, Carnaval De Luz presents: The Greatest Show On Earth. Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. will visit stadiums in Latin America, North America, and Europe. Latin American dates, with support from Beck, have already been announced.
The tour will support the band’s forthcoming 16th studio album Carnaval De Luz. The Greatest Show On Earth will kick off in Mexico City on February 23rd, 2027 before continuing to São Paulo and Buenos Aires, the only three Latin American cities the tour will visit next year. Additional 2027 dates for Europe and North America are set to be announced in the coming weeks, with plans for the band to return home to Ireland in the works.
A message from the band reads: “The Greatest Show on Earth”? Now that’s a throwdown. It’s a dare, to ourselves as much as anyone, to try and have the best night of anybody’s life. A bit of showman, a bit of shaman, a riot of colour, unreasonable guitar, bass and drums, and tunes you can hold onto. Because if people are gonna show up, we certainly are.”
The tour announcement comes with the release of a new track titled “The Greatest Show On Earth,” co-written by U2 and Brian Eno. It is the third single to be taken from Carnaval De Luz. The video is directed by Anton Corbijn and was shot in the Californian desert; it satirizes the band as a religious cult where women do all the heavy lifting.
Tickets for the Carnaval De Luz presents: The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour will first be available via U2’s Subscriber Presale commencing on Monday October 19th, 2026 at 10am local time. Remaining tickets will be available starting Thursday, October 22nd at 10am local time at U2’s website.
