U2 Love comes to town tour 1989 (Europe Itinerary)

This is the last itinerary I have known for the Lovetown tour. It is covering last Japanese show and all the European concerts so this might be the final one. My guess is that having Aussie, NZ and European detailed information in 3 different books, a japanese itinerary might be around.

It comes in a standard cardboard cover in order to protect the colourfull cover we saw in the rest of Lovetown itineraries. In this case that second cover is exactly the same as the one used for the "full tour itinerary".


Data is covering from December 1st , showday at Osaka Castle Hall, to January 1st, when BBKing and his band and crew had to leave Dublin to return home.

Once again the info on the itinerary is not what finally happened. The truth is that some of the shows had to be postponed so after Dublin, the group travelled to The Netherlands for a final "4 in a row" set of concerts in Rotterdam.

The day after Osaka concert, the band and irish crew are returning home for the break while BB and his people are flying to L.A.


On December 11th U2 is on the road again, travelling to Paris where they are playing that night. BB and his group had arrived the day before.

U2 not only uses the planes on this part of the tour. For the shows in Dortmund they travelled from Paris to Dusseldorf by coach, a 4 hours trip. One more hour was needed to go from Dusseldorf to Dortmund, where they played 3 shows.

With the final show expected for the last day of 1989, that day page on the book reads "Will definitelly go into 1990". A second support act was expected to join BBKing and U2 but as far as I know it never happened.

After that night at the Point Depot and the four final shows in Rotterdam, this amazing tour was over. Last show was finally on January 10th.


My copy of this book was signed in Barcelona by The
Edge on October 11th 2015.
