Rockers U2 will bring their colossal 360-Degrees tour to M&T Bank Stadium on June 22, the Baltimore mayor's office confirmed Sunday.
The production, which reportedly takes road crews three days to break down, transport and set up, will be the first major concert at the stadium in years. The in-the-round show features a 150-foot futuristic four-pronged claw, a circular video screen that expands and contracts, and several mechanized bridges. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was expected to announce the performance at 7 a.m. today on a radio show.
The 360-Degrees tour began in Europe in 2009, came to FedEx Field last September and is expected to lap the world before its last scheduled date in Pittsburgh July 26. The English indie group Florence and the Machine is the opening act for the Baltimore gig. U2 will be the first top-tier live show at the stadium since country star Kenny Chesney performed there in May 2008. In previous years, the stadium has also hosted the HFStival, among other concerts.
