U2 Add Second Berlin Stadium Date After Heavy Demand

The extra night tightens German availability, prompting Ticketmaster to enforce staged presales, a three-show per-account limit, mobile-only entry, strict VIP tiers.

Overview

  • Ticketmaster confirmed a second concert at Berlin’s Olympiastadion on 1 July 2027, the night after the originally scheduled 30 June show, citing overwhelming demand.
  • Berlin remains U2’s only stop in Germany for the 2027 stadium tour, concentrating local demand that initially left fans with a single chance to see the band in the country.
  • Sales are running in staged windows including artist, subscriber and cardholder presales ahead of general sale, with purchases limited to a maximum of three European shows per account.
  • Ticketmaster requires mobile-only (handyticket) entry for the shows and is offering tiered pricing that includes general seats from about €93.75 and an ‘Ultimate VIP Hospitality’ package around €1,019.50.
  • U2 will tour to promote their new album Carnaval de Luz, due 13 November 2026, and will begin the world tour in Mexico City on 23 February 2027 with drummer Larry Mullen Jr. reinstated in the lineup; the band’s long link to Berlin dates back to recording Achtung Baby at Hansa Studios.
