EAST LANSING, Mich. — Live Nation Entertainment has announced that the U2 360° concert at Spartan Stadium has been rescheduled for June 26, 2011.
The East Lansing concert and all tour stops in North America were recently postponed due to lead singer Bono's emergency back surgery. All of the North American concerts have been rescheduled and all tickets will be valid at the rescheduled performances.
"We're delighted the dates are rescheduled and in all the same venues we originally planned to play," U2's manager Paul McGuinness said. "It hasn't been easy to accomplish this, and I'd like to thank the managers of the many venues and sports teams across North America and Live Nation Global Touring for their help and cooperation in making this complex new plan possible.
"Above all we want to thank the U2 fans for bearing with us. They're the best, and the band wants to get back to where they belong, surrounded by their audience."
Tickets purchased for the June 30, 2010, Spartan Stadium performance will be honored at the door. Additional tickets for the rescheduled performance are now available at ticketmaster.com and all usual outlets. Refunds can be obtained through the original point of purchase.
