Rolling Stone Magazine interviewed U2 frontman Bono about the continuation of their widely popular ‘360 Tour,’ along with future plans for the group in 2010. “We’ve been playing really well on the tour and getting better and better, and we need to distill whatever we have into some songs,” said Bono. “I would like to put out an album quickly, but we’re only going to do it if it’s great.”

The New York Times, The Observer, and Canada Sun Media have all reported U2’s plans to release an album sometime next year. Bono confirmed to Rolling Stone that the album will be titled “Songs of Ascent.” Look for more U2 updates here on the AceTicket Blog! The band is set to appear at New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on July 19th.

U2 ‘360 Tour’ tickets are now available!

Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. are currently riding high from the success of their 2009 ‘360′ world tour. The band has officially released tour dates to continue on through 2010.  They will start up their run next year at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA on June 6th. Before heading to Europe U2 will be sure to rock out at the New Meadowlands Stadium July 19th in New York.

The ‘360 Tour’ is named after the circular stage set for the band where the audience can see the action from all angles. U2 believes it to be “the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a unique and original structure.” Stay tuned for more dates to be announced (which should include a trip to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA).

Legendary rock band U2 has confirmed through video blog that their concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in CA on Sunday, October 25th will be accesable for free on YouTube.  The band felt that this would be the best way to give all fans a chance to see the show due to the high demand for tickets.

“The band has wanted to do something like this for a long time,” said U2 manager Paul McGuinness. “As we’re filming the LA show, it’s the perfect opportunity to extend the party beyond the stadium. Fans often travel long distances to come to see U2 - this time U2 can go to them, globally.”

U2 will be playing at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glandale, AZ on Tuesday, October 20th. They will then travel to Las Vegas on Friday, October 23rd to perform at the Sam Boyd Stadium before making their way to Pasadena, CA for the worldwide event.

U2 tickets are available now with us at AceTicket.com!
