The rumor (or was it a 'Roomer?) was true!
Irish rock superheroes U2 will headline Bonnaroo 2017 as part of a stadium tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of 1987's landmark album The Joshua Tree. This according to a release the band fired off early Monday morning.
The Joshua Tree 2017 Tour, which kicks off May 12 in Vancouver, B.C., brings the band to Bonnaroo for its first ever U.S. festival headlining appearance.
Bonnaroo, which announces the bulk of its 2017 lineup on Wednesday, is also the only festival appearance of the tour, which will hit two-dozen stadiums across North America and Europe between mid May and early August. Check out the band's site for more into on non-Bonnaroo dates (below).
