根據這篇Rolling Stone對Edge的訪談
在川普當選後，這個巡迴的點子就冒出來了。
似乎是針對世界的改變，讓這張創作在雷根時代，但經過三十年後似乎又歷久彌新
可以重新解讀省思的專輯，有一個整個搬到舞台上完整演出的點子就逐漸成形了。
似乎是對於英國脫歐，川普當選U2的一個回應。
就是把1987年的Joshua Tree在2017年三十周年之際，直接用一個歐美巡迴來呈現。
The band will be out on the road again this summer celebrating the 30th
anniversary of The Joshua Tree and performing the album in full, every night.
In July the tour brings them home to Croke Park in Dublin, 30 years after the
original Joshua Tree Tour’s two memorable shows at the Dublin venue in June
1987.
U2: The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 kicks off in Vancouver on 12th May for a run of
dates across North America, and includes U2’s first ever U.S. festival
headline appearance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.
The tour then moves to Europe with the first stop in London on 8th July,
finishing up in Brussels on 1st August and taking in their hometown show in
Croke Park on 22nd July.
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will provide support across Europe, with
Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers and One Republic joining the tour through North
America.
“It seems like we have come full circle from when The Joshua Tree songs were
originally writtten, with global upheaval, extreme right wing politics and
some fundamental human rights at risk,” reflects The Edge. “To celebrate
the album - as these songs seem so relevant and prescient of these times too
- we decided to do these shows, it feels right for now. We’re looking
forward to it.”
“Recently I listened back to The Joshua Tree for the first time in nearly 30
years,” adds Bono. “It’s quite an opera. A lot of emotions which feel
strangely current, love, loss, broken dreams, seeking oblivion, polarisation…
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. Especially when we play at home. Croke Park.. it’s where
the album was born, 30 years ago.”

Released to universal acclaim on March 9th 1987 and featuring hit singles “
With Or Without You”,“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” and “
Where The Streets Have No Name”, The Joshua Tree went to No. 1 in Ireland
and around the world selling in excess of 25 million copies and catapulting
Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr “… from heroes to
superstars” (Rolling Stone).
Time Magazine put U2 on its cover in April 1987, proclaiming them “Rock’s
Hottest Ticket” in a defining year for the band that saw their arena dates
roll into stadium shows to accommodate escalating demand - setting them on
course to become one of the greatest live acts in the world today.
The 12 months that followed saw the band create now-iconic moments: the
traffic-stopping Grammy Award-winning music video on the roof of a Los
Angeles liquor store, winning a BRIT Award and two Grammys - including Album
of the Year - their first of 22 received to date, distinguishing U2 as the
most awarded rock band in Grammy history; as well as a triumphant return home
with the original Joshua Tree Tour for four unforgettable shows in Belfast,
Dublin and Cork in the summer of 1987.
In 1987 Hot Press called The Joshua Tree “their most influential album yet”
. As for this tour? Noel Gallagher says, “It will be both a pleasure and an
honour to play my part in what still remains the greatest show on earth.”
