U2 360º Tour Leg 3 Europe 2010 Itinerary

What had to be 360º 4th leg, became the 3rd leg due to Bono's back injury and US dates being postponed till summer 2011.

After a few weeks of high expectation about this european leg, U2.com finally confirms on July 13th that the band will be in Torino and the tour will open on August the 6th as expected .

So, this leg will travel across Europe in a total of 22 shows, 13 countries and first ever appearances in Russia and Turkey.

In terms of itinerary books, this leg had 2 itinerary books: one for Band & Management that we'll see on this entry and a second one for the Crew. I have created an specific entry with all the details regarding that Crew book.

Focusing on the Band & Management itinerary book for this leg,  they followed the same rule they did on the two previous legs.  U2 plane for this 3rd leg of 360º had the "Let me in the sound" sentence on it so that was also the sentence they put on the itinerary book cover.





This book's first page is something we never saw on previous books, some kind of second cover. It features the 360º tour logo, first and final dates of this leg, a printing date for this book edition and last but not least mentions the late Dennis Sheehan as Tour Manager.

As the other itineraries we show on this blog, this book comes with a list of tour personnel, a list of european leg dates and cities and a daily page with all the details regarding hotels, timings, contact persons and other useful information.

According to this book, the rehearsals for this leg started in Torino on July 27th and finished at the same venue on August 5th, one day before the opening show at Stadio Olimpico. The band wasn't there everyday but they were for sure on the two final rehearsals, named on the book as Dress Rehearsals.

This book is also including a U2 plane schedule. The plane was named THREE SIXTY AIR and this page shows all the information regarding departure and arrival times for all the flights the band did during this european leg.

The 2010 European Leg ended on October 8th the same way it had started, with a show in Italy....and at Stadio Olimpico, but this time it was in Rome . After the show, band and management flew back to Dublin.
