U2 Again Revise Tour Schedule

2.1.01 - Sonicnet

Band adds two dates, reschedule tour others on Elevation 2001 Tour.

Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen reports:

U2 keep tinkering with the dates for their upcoming Elevation 2001 Tour, and Tuesday added two dates and rescheduled two others.

The two new dates are a second date in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on March 26 and a fourth Boston show on June 9. Tickets for the Fort Lauderdale show go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. ET, with the Boston show up for sale on Saturday at the same time, according to the band's official Web site.

The band's show in Hartford, Connecticut, originally set for June 9, has been moved to June 3. Tickets for that show also go on sale on February 2. That switch bumps the show in Buffalo, New York, which had been set for June 3, to May 31. Tickets for Buffalo go on sale shortly, the Web site said.

U2, revived by the success of their latest album, All That You Can't Leave Behind, have added several dates to their original tour itinerary as shows in several cities quickly sell out (see "U2 Add More Dates To North American Tour"). Last weekend, a fourth Chicago show on May 16 sold out, as did shows in Albany, New York, and Houston.
