If you thought the Joshua Tree Tour 2019 schedule was settled after the announcement of the Manila gig in late July, think again.
U2 are going to India for the very first time. They will perform at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on 15 December 2019. Our database entry for this gig is here.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at noon, Thursday 1 October (all times local). U2.com members can access a presale from noon, Tuesday 24 September. The local promoter is also running a presale that opens at noon, Thursday 26 September, for which you must register by 11:59pm on Monday 23 September. All details about presale access and registration are in the U2.com announcement.
It looks like this really is the last show left to be announced. U2.com emphasises, in bold, that it is 'the final date on The Joshua Tree Tour 2019'.
Indian fans have had a very long wait for U2 to visit their country. In late 1983, the band took the War Tour to Japan and Hawaii, and intended to follow these dates with shows in Australia, New Zealand, and India. Instead they decided to take a short rest from touring. The Australian and New Zealand shows took place in August and September 1984 on the Unforgettable Fire Tour, but no Indian show had materialised—until now.
This makes India the fourth country that U2 are visiting for the first time on the Joshua Tree Tour 2019. It means this tour visits the most new countries since Popmart in 1997–98, when the band went to eight new countries. We described this tidbit in detail in the article about Manila, if you want to know more.
As far as big venues go The Forum is a good one. but, for this show, U2 had an amazing stage, or should I say stages. The main stage, of course, with an aisle, splitting the GA crowd, leading to a smaller, secondary stage. Bono and the boys used all three, the main stage, the aisle, and the secondary stage almost equally, in-other-words there wasn't a bad spot in the venue to be, especially of you were in the GA section, like I was. u2, as always, performed spectacularly, playing a lot of the better known big hits and songs from their last two albums, which are some of their best work. The screens they have all along the aisle tell an amazing story, sometimes giving you a visual for the songs they were playing and other times just a history of the boys and where they grew up or telling you of the charities Bono and the boys are involved in. All in all, this concert was both an aural and visual pleasure, the boys seem to out do themselves each time they come around. Whether you're a U2 fan or not, this show is something you should witness, you can sing along with the songs you know and be in awe of the imagination and brilliance of the U2 team and the spectacular show they deliver.
