Live Nation Entertainment has announced the postponed U2 360° tour dates in the U.S. have all been rescheduled for Spring/Summer 2011 with all tickets being valid at the rescheduled performances. The original tour dates were postponed following Bono’s emergency back surgery to allow time for the singer to heal and rehab from the injury.
 
The 2010 European tour was not been affected by the injury and is set to begin as scheduled on August 6th in Turin.
 
In a press release, U2’s manager Paul McGuinness thanked fans for their ongoing support and stated: “We’re delighted the dates are rescheduled and in all the same venues we originally planned to play. It hasn't been easy to accomplish this and I'd like to thank the managers of the many venues and sports teams across North America and Live Nation Global Touring for their help and cooperation in making this complex new plan possible. Above all we want to thank the U2 fans for bearing with us. They’re the best and the band wants to get back to where they belong, surrounded by their audience.”
