With the European and UK tour dates now completely sold out and due to phenomenal demand, U2’s iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015 has just confirmed an 8th and final show July 31st at Madison Square Garden.

The iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015 will feature the in-concert debut of material from U2’s thirteenth studio album Songs Of Innocence (Interscope Records). Released September 9, 2014, Songs Of Innocence was named #1 album of 2014 by the editors of Rolling Stone and voted #2 album of 2014 by the magazine’s readership. Last month, independent market research conducted by the Kantar Group determined that not only was U2 the most-listened-to act on the iOS platform, but that 95% of those listeners had played one or more tracks from Songs Of Innocence.

NEARLY 1/4 OF iTUNES USERS ARE LISTENING TO U2

“This is fantastic news. If these figures suggest that these songs still matter to people, then we’re knocked out. That’s all any songwriter wants.” — Bono

An independent study has concluded that U2 accounted for 23% of all music listened on iOS devices throughout January 2015.

The study, conducted by the Kantar Group, found that not only was U2 the most-listened-to act on the iOS platform, but that more users were listening to U2 than the second (Taylor Swift at 11%) and third (Katy Perry at 8%) runners-up combined.

Additionally, Kantar found that 95% of the U2 listeners listened to one or more tracks from the band’s current album, Songs Of Innocence.

“It’s nice to know that 5 months on so many people have discovered Songs of Innocence. In the end we just wanted people to hear the album. We took a big risk but today we can say that the experiment worked.” — The Edge

U2 iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015 ON SALE TODAY

FILMS OF INNOCENCE 11 FILMS PREMIERE ACROSS 11 PLATFORMS FOR 24 HOURS FROM 4pm GMT / 11am ET

U2.com Subscribers To Receive Exclusive Bonus Film

Films Of Innocence
Films Of Innocence

Monday, December 8, 2014 — As tickets go on sale today to the general public for U2’s iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015, the band has unveiled a bold new artistic initiative in the form of Films of Innocence: A visionary collection of 11 films by the world’s most vital urban visual artists, each inspired by one of the 11 tracks on U2’s Songs of Innocence album.

From 4pm GMT / 11am ET, the same day that general on sales open for U2’s return to indoor arenas for 22 pairs of shows in 19 cities, the U2-pioneered Films of Innocence project is celebrating the visceral power of urban art with 24-hour exclusive premieres across the following 11 platforms:

Stereogum  – “The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)” by Oliver Jeffers
Complex – “Every Breaking Wave” by Robin Rhode
The Nerdist   “California (There Is No End To Love)” – D*Face
NPR – “Song For Someone” by Mode 2
Dezeen – “Iris (Hold Me Close)” by Chloe Early
Pitchfork – “Volcano” by Ganzeer
Nowness – “Raised by Wolves” by Vhils
Dazed Digital – “Cedarwood Road” by Maser
Rolling Stone – “Sleep Like A Baby” by ROA
Paper Magazine – “This Is Where You Can Find Me Now” by DALeast
Juxtapoz – “The Troubles” by Todd James

Following the 24-hour premieres, the Films Of Innocence collection will be available for purchase via iTunes and Amazon. U2.com subscribers will receive an exclusive bonus in the form of Conor Harington’s visual interpretation of the Songs Of Innocence bonus track “Crystal Ballroom.”

With the political murals of Northern Ireland as a reference point, U2 chose the artists and gave them complete creative freedom to create personal responses to U2’s music. The result is an exhilarating display of diversity in approach, style and commentary. Powerful and cognizant, Films of Innocence takes these artists and their works from the streets to the screen, as they scale the globe, play with time, and weave between heightened reality and animated dreamscapes. The result is an essential visual counterpoint to the album.
