It has been 30 years since U2 released The Joshua Tree and they’re performing the whole album in its entirety for the very first time this year on The Joshua Tree Tour.
After selling out the majority of the tour thus far, the band has extended the tour through September and October, including a stop not too far from home. The Irish rockers are bringing The Joshua Tree tour to Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Chiefs. This stop on the tour will be on September 12th. This isn’t U2’s first time performing at Arrowhead, they’ve performed there two other times, once in 1997 and once in 1992.
An anniversary edition of the The Joshua Tree was just released by Interscope Records on June 2. Alongside the 11-track album, the super deluxe collector’s edition includes a live recording of The Joshua Tree Tour 1987 Madison Square Garden concert; rarities and B-sides from the album’s original recording sessions; as well as 2017 remixes from Daniel Lanois, St Francis Hotel, Jacknife Lee, Steve Lillywhite and Flood; plus an 84-page hardback book of unseen personal photography shot by The Edge during the original Mojave Desert photo session in 1986. The Joshua Tree was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Full details of all formats are available HERE.
