Credit: Olaf HeineU2's massive iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour will kick off tonight in Vancouver, British Columbia. The tour will hit 20 cities, with at least two shows in each location. The North American leg will wrap up with an eight-night stand at New York City's Madison Square Garden that runs from July 18 through July 31. The Irish rockers then will launch a European leg in Turin, Italy, beginning September 4 and concluding with four shows in Paris on November 10, 11, 14 and 15.
iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE will be U2's first indoor arena tour in a decade, and the band has concocted a special stage setup for the occasion. As the group revealed to The New York Times, there will be three stages: a large, rectangular stage that will light up as a capital I for "Innocence," a smaller round stage that will become a lower-case "e" for "experience," and a large walkway in between.
Each show will feature two sets, divided by -- for the first time on a U2 tour -- an intermission. The first set will be fixed for the most part, while the second set will be much more varied from night to night. The tour will not feature an opening band.
The iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE trek also will mark Bono's return to the stage after he injured himself in a cycling accident this past November. He says that he is still unable to play guitar, though he jokes that his band mates "don't seem to mind."
