See How U2 Captured the Hearts of Fans on Their Record-Breaking 2017 Joshua Tree Tour! #short
The legendary Irish rock band U2 embarked on their virtual Joshua Tree tour back in 2017, marking the 30th anniversary of the iconic album.
The Joshua Tree, released in 1987, became one of the defining albums of the 80s music scene, earning U2 global recognition as one of the greatest rock bands of all time. It was a tremendous honor for fans around the world to see Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. perform it live.
The tour began in Vancouver, Canada on May 12, 2017, and concluded in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on October 25, 2017, covering 51 cities in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. During this period, fans got to relive the band's glory days with their signature anthems, such as "With or Without You," "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," "Bullet the Blue Sky," and "Where the Streets Have No Name," among other classics.
The stage was creatively designed to match the essence of the desert region, with an enormous video screen in the backdrop that displayed graphics depicting the vast landscape of Joshua Tree National Park.
One of their most unforgettable performances was at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on May 20-21, 2017, where more than 123,000 fans attended the two-night show. The setlist included all eleven tracks from "The Joshua Tree" album, ensuring that the crowd was elated and transported to another era.
Besides the album music, the performers seized the chance to use their platform to address contemporary political issues such as the refugee crisis, gender inequality, and climate change. "Miss Sarajevo" and "Bullet the Blue Sky" were excerpts that carried these messages of a better and more tolerant world.
Moreover, the virtual Joshua Tree tour showcased U2's use of technology on stage with their augmented reality app, which created an immersive experience for the audience. The app created an interactive experience that allowed the audience to manipulate the visuals in real-time to match the music played on stage.
In conclusion, U2's 2017 Joshua Tree tour was a tremendous success celebrated by fans worldwide with packed crowds at every location, the creative set, the interactive technology, and a valuable message to the world. The virtual tour felt like a journey back to the band's early beginnings, reliving their music evolution and the era when they produced the legendary album.
