As Sam Sessa reported in today's Baltimore Sun, U2 is bringing it's mammoth 360 Tour (featuring The Claw) to Baltimore on June 22, 2011. Tickets will be made available starting Monday at 10am. So, after a month's worth of speculation, prompted by a premature U2.com post that had the date and the city before being removed, it's finally official!
This marks the first time U2 has ever played a stadium in Baltimore.
The last time they did a show here was on October 19, 2001, during their Elevation tour at the Baltimore (now, First Mariner) Arena.
And a few us may recall what almost was, what could have been, when, in 1992, U2 scoped out stadiums where they could rehearse their, then, colossal Zoo Tv tour. Baltimore made the final cut, but alas, noise concerns from Memorial Stadium neighbors prompted the band go a little further up I-83 and camp at Hershey Stadium.
