As expected, U2 will mark the 30th anniversary of The Joshua Tree with a stadium tour of North America. They will play the album in its entirety.

The tour will kick off May 12th in Vancouver, Canada and come to a close July 1st in Cleveland. It also includes a headlining stop at the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee June 8th through the 11th. Each show will feature an opening set by either Mumford & SonsOneRepublic or The Lumineers.

Bono said in a statement, “Recently I listened back to The Joshua Tree for the first time in nearly 30 years. It’s quite an opera. A lot of emotions which feel strangely current: love, loss, broken dreams, seeking oblivion, polarization… all the greats. I’ve sung some of these songs a lot… but never all of them. I’m up for it, if our audience is as excited as we are. It’s gonna be a great night.”
