The U2 360° Tour is a worldwide concert tour by the Irish rock band U2. Launched in support of the group's 2009 album No Line on the Horizon, the tour will visit stadiums from 2009 through 2010, whereas the previous two tours, the Elevation Tour and the Vertigo Tour, featured indoor arenas (all but three shows on the Elevation Tour were in arenas, and all North American Vertigo Tour shows were in arenas). The U2 360° Tour is named after the 360-degree staging and audience configuration it uses for shows, which U2 claims is "the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a unique and original structure." In an era of declining CD sales, the tour is expected to be a major source of income for the band.

The initial tour dates were formally announced in March 2009. U2 are planning to play 40–45 shows in 2009. The tour began in Barcelona on June 30 and will play in Europe through to August 22, 2009.

The North American leg of the tour is planned to begin on September 12, 2009 at Soldier Field in Chicago followed by two nights in Toronto and will end on October 28, 2009. The band will return to American stadiums for June and July 2010, and travel back to Europe for August and September 2010. The band tentatively plan to tour South America sometime in 2010.

The U2 360° Tour could potentially consist of 90–100 shows over the two years.
