U2

The paragons spent 2017 revisiting The Joshua Tree, their seminal 1987 LP, but for 2018 they are casting their eyes back on the present. They’ll launch the sequel to 2015’s Innocence + Experience tour as they finally dropped Songs of Experience this month. North American dates are scheduled to kick off in May, and if you were one of the fans lucky enough to score tickets for any of their last three outings, you know to be wowed. From carting a 29,000-square-foot stage called the Spaceship around the globe in 2009 to the trippy LED curtain that connected their 2015 stages, or the giant Joshua Tree that defined their presentation last year, Bono and the gang deny themselves nothing when it comes to staging. May can’t come soon enough. —M.V.
