U2 Album Date and Tour 2009
Dec 19^th, 2008 at 8:27am

Final nail in whatever slim hopes may have existed for a 2009 mini tour I believe:

U2's 'Horizon' gets release date

By JANE STEVENSON -- Sun Media

U2's latest promo photo.

No Line On The Horizon, U2's long-awaited new CD following up 2004's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, will be released on Tuesday, March 3.

Recording sessions for the new disc began last year in Fez, Morocco, and continued in the band's Dublin studio, before moving to New York's Platinum Sound Recording Studios and Olympic Studios in London.

The album's producers are long-time U2 collaborators Brian Eno and Canadian Danny Lanois, with additional production by Steve Lillywhite.

A U2 tour is expected to follow later next year.

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb sold nine million copies.

Aside from the tour closer in Honolulu, they stuck to arenas in NA. Multiple nights in many cities, so if they tour in summer 09, stadiums are the way to maximize $...
