Second of three shows in Germany this summer tour and Hannover is jumping. Christian Wulff the President of the Federal Republic of Germany is here, along with Wim Wenders, the President of German movie directors.

Following online tonight - or going to be at the show in Hannover ?

In Frankfurt, Germany it is U2360 time for the second show of the 2010 European tour. And Bono is 'made in Germany'. Were you in the house tonight ?

The bridge is in place at the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt. Load-in is complete and we're all set for tonight's show. New video.

Onstage and backstage in Turin as the 2010 tour opens in Italy. (Pizza anyone ?)

It was like they'd never been away. Opening up with a brand new track, one of three in the set, U2 returned to the stage in Turin tonight with a blistering 24-song performance. 'It's very good to be back with you, 'said Bono. 'Bellissimo Torino...'

Just a few hours until the 2010 European Tour kicks off in Turin and the excitement is building in and around the Stadio Olimpico.

The wait is almost over and anticipation is building in Turin. Tomorrow night the tour kicks off and outside the stadium, some people are hoping to have a word.

On the bass... Adam Clayton.

On the drums... Larry Mullen Jr.

The Edge is in the house.

Deep in the darkness of a rock'n'roll stage, hidden among flight cases, something strange this way comes. (Five days until opening night...)

The sun is up in Turin, the crew are on stage and the scene is set for the arrival of the band. On the drums...

Imagine you'd never seen this before. What do you think it could be? Seven days and counting until the opening night in Turin.

No need to wait until the end of the world. Just until the end of next week. Countdown Day Eight.

Final call for all passengers. Fasten your seatbelts please. Ten days to go until the opening night of U2 360°  in Turin.

The band take the 360° show on the road again next week. Catch up on all  the dates, news, video and chat.

A video message from U2 as the postponed US and Canadian 360° tour dates are rescheduled for Spring/Summer 2011.

Live Nation have announced that the US and Canadian dates, postponed following Bono's back surgery, have now been rescheduled for next year.  'The band want to get back to where they belong,' said Paul McGuinness, 'Surrounded by their audience.' Check out all  the new dates in the Spring/Summer of 2011.

'I can still feel the opening bars of Streets vibrating my chest.' We asked you to tell us about the first time you ever saw the band live. And you did.

Following news of Bono's recuperation period from surgery, Glastonbury have confirmed that the band won't be able to perform their headline slot next month. Bono spoke to Michael Eavis of Glastonbury by phone this morning.

U2's manager has been speaking to us about today's news.

Following Bono's unexpected back surgery earlier today, Live Nation confirmed that the U2360° tour launch previously scheduled for June 3rd in Salt Lake City has been postponed. U2 fans with tickets to the June 3rd event are encouraged to retain tickets until updated show information can be provided.

So now we know which acts will be out on the road on the 360 Tour this year. But who was the best act you ever saw on the same bill as U2?

No new album before June. That's the word from Paul McGuinness, talking to Rolling Stone, ahead of the 2010 tour dates.
