U2 Announces 2027 Tour and Carnaval De Luz Album

U2 has confirmed six concerts across Mexico City, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires in February and March as the initial dates for their 2027 The Greatest Show On Earth world tour. Beck will perform as the opening act for all six shows. The tour supports the band's 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, which is scheduled for release on November 13.

Along with the tour announcement, U2 released the new single The Greatest Show On Earth, co-written with Brian Eno and featuring a music video directed by Anton Corbijn. Santiago is absent from the schedule, despite being included in U2's previous four Latin American tours. The band first played in Chile on February 11, 1998, on the PopMart tour, and last performed there in October 2017 for the 30th anniversary of The Joshua Tree.

U2 also marked their 50th anniversary with surprise performances, including a return to their former school in Dublin where they were founded in 1976.
