U2 announces 360° world tour dates

After taking over Late Night with David Letterman for a whole week and free streaming their new album on MySpace a week before its official release, those fellas in U2 seem more than ready to hit the road for a world tour. Fittingly enough, the Irish rockers just announced their tour dates and a new stage concept that promises no bad seats.

The 360° tour begins on June 30 at the Nou Camp Stadium in Barcelona, Spain. A 360° TV screen will hang over the stage and allow the entire stadium a great view of the band as they perform at the center of the field. The innovative 360-degree design guarantees a great view to even the nosebleed seats.
