A JOURNEY THROUGH REFLECTION, REBIRTH, AND RAW EMOTION
According to Bono, “Mirrors & Light” is not just another U2 tour — it’s a spiritual and emotional pilgrimage. The frontman revealed that the new tour will feature cutting-edge stage design, breathtaking holographic visuals, and a setlist that blends timeless classics with bold, reimagined arrangements from their upcoming album of the same name, expected to drop in early 2026.
> “This tour is about connection,” Bono said in a press statement. “We’ve been through years of silence, separation, and reflection. Now it’s time to bring the light back — to celebrate being together again in the same space, singing the same words.”
The Edge added, “We’ve been experimenting with soundscapes that feel cinematic, yet deeply intimate. Fans will hear familiar songs in ways they’ve never imagined.”
