U2 360º Tour Leg 7 US 2011

After Bono's surgery in Munich, the 3rd leg of the 360º that had to start in Salt Lake City on June 3rd 2010 was postponed until summer 2011. So European leg was now the 3rd leg and these "new dates north american leg" became the 6th one after the ROW dates announcement and the final addition of 2 concerts in South Africa for February 2011.

On July 13th 2010, U2.com confirms the final dates for this 4th Leg that will visit Canada and the United States from May to July 2011. Opening show will be held at Invesco Field in Denver on May 21st 2011 and the tour initially had end at Minneappolis TCF Bank Stadium on July 23rd.

On September 21st 2010 a show in Mexico City is added for May 14th 2011 so this becomes the first show of this 5th leg. Once this mexican show was sold out, a second date was added for May 15th.

On February 1st 2011 U2.com announced an additional and final North American show in Moncton (Canada) on July 30th 2011.

As far as I know only a Crew itinerary was pressed to cover this final leg of 360º. 

This book cover from the LOAD IN Day at Azteca Stadium in Mexico (May 8th) to the day after the end of the tour at Moncton's Magnetic Hill (July 31st).

Two double rehearsal sessions were already planned when the tour started for Mexico on May 9th&10th and Denver on May 19th and 20th.

Also a very special day was planned on their agendas. That was June 24th , Glastonbury show day.

As it had also happened on the previous legs the crew was divided in 3 different groups (Blue Steel, Red Steel and Green Steel) and the books details the trip plans for the 3 of them.




At the end of the leg a big crew party was held for which the management printed out dollar bills with the band, management and crew member faces on them. I have created a special entry to cover this curious items.
