The dates are an extension of the gigs the band are already playing around the UK, including a recent show at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on June 13.

‘Gravity Stairs’ is the band’s first release since 2021’s ‘Dreamers Are Waiting’ and was produced by the group – made up of Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mitchell Froom and Finn’s sons Elroy and Liam – alongside Steven Schram.

In March, at their final show of their Las Vegas Sphere residency, U2 played a cover of Crowded House’s ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ in a performance that was aided by a virtual appearance from frontman Neil Finn.

“The other day we got a beautiful e-mail from Neil Finn, who wrote this bewilderingly beautiful song,” Bono said. “Attached to the e-mail was a version of the song he said we could play whenever we wanted. It’s a new version that he did, and we’re going to try and record it.”
