U2 Popmart Tour 1997 Europe Advance Itinerary

As they did before starting the first leg of Popmart, another Advance itinerary was issued in order to prepare the second and european part of the tour.

The cover is basically the same we saw for the 1st advance itinerary but this time Europe and the dates (July 18th-August 31st) were on the cover instead of US and its dates. Obvious.....

This book comes with wire bound instead of the usual spiral bound. The same happened with the US Advance itinerary we saw.

As I said, this is a book printed in order to give some information in advance and that's why it's only covering part of the dates they finally played in Europe.

It includes all dates from Rotterdam on July 18th to Dublin on August 31st. After that Dublin show, U2 played 11 additional dates.

Belfast show at Botanic Gardens on August 26th was not included on this advance itinerary so I gues it was a "final addition".

Nor info related to production set up neither rehearsals details were included on this book.

There is also a page that includes a map of Europe with detailed information of european time zones and what countries are included in each zone. This is a useful information for the tour staff, specially if we think that many of them are not european.

There is also a "Tour at a glance" section of 4 pages that details were every crew team should be on every single date of the tour. This section is already including the 11 final dates of this leg that are not included on the detailed "date to date" pages.
