The Joshua Tree 2017 Tour was some of the most fun we ever had. It will be both an honour and a pleasure to share the stage with our friends and comrades once again. It\u2019s gonna be a ripper!!!!!\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n Bono said \u201cIt\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0only taken me 30 years to learn how to sing these songs and it\u2019s great to be able to say that I\u2019ve\u00a0finally caught up with the band. Our audience has\u00a0given\u00a0the Joshua Tree a whole new life on this tour. Doing these shows has been very special for us, a lot of emotion\u2026 From the despair of how relevant some of the dark songs still are, to the joy, pure fun of the staging\u2026 it\u2019s quite a ride. And now we get to do it all over again. Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Tokyo,\u00a0Singapore, Seoul\u2026 We\u2019re coming for you\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n
