In a stunning and emotional announcement that has sent shockwaves through the music world, U2 — one of the most iconic and influential rock bands of all time — has officially revealed plans for their Farewell 2026 World Tour, titled “One Last Horizon.” After more than four decades of redefining stadium rock, the legendary quartet — Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. — will embark on their final global journey, marking the end of an era that has inspired millions across generations.
The announcement was made early this morning through U2’s official social media channels, accompanied by a cinematic teaser featuring vintage concert footage, intimate behind-the-scenes clips, and a heartfelt voiceover from Bono. “We’ve been chasing the horizon our whole lives,” he says in the clip. “Now it’s time to take one last look at it together.”
The “One Last Horizon World Tour” is set to kick off on May 9, 2026, in Dublin, Ireland — the band’s hometown and spiritual birthplace — before spanning across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. The tour will feature over 50 shows in total, with the final performance scheduled for December 5, 2026, at Wembley Stadium in London, where U2 will take their final bow in front of a global audience.

Speaking to reporters, Bono reflected on the band’s decision to make this their final tour: “This isn’t goodbye to the music — it’s goodbye to the road. We’ve lived out of suitcases for nearly fifty years, and every city, every fan, every song has been part of our story. But every horizon has its sunset, and we feel this is the right time to take that final journey — together, with all of you.”
The Edge added, “We wanted to make this tour a celebration, not a farewell in sadness. We’ll be revisiting every era of our career, from Boy and The Joshua Tree to Achtung Baby and Songs of Surrender. Fans can expect the biggest stage show we’ve ever done — something that captures the heart and soul of U2.”
Fans can also look forward to a new, accompanying greatest hits album titled “One Last Horizon: The Final Collection,” featuring remastered classics, live recordings, and two brand-new tracks recorded exclusively for this tour.
Music critics are already calling the announcement “the end of an age.” U2, who first formed in Dublin in 1976, have sold over 170 million records worldwide, won 22 Grammy Awards, and forever changed the sound of modern rock with their anthemic melodies and socially conscious lyrics.
Tickets for the One Last Horizon Tour will go on sale beginning November 10, 2025, with fan club presales opening a week earlier. Given U2’s legendary status and the finality of this moment, industry insiders expect record-breaking demand.
As Bono poignantly concluded in the press release:
“Every journey has a final chapter. This tour is ours — not as a goodbye, but as a thank you. To the fans, to the cities, to the songs that gave us life. Let’s meet one last time under the same sky… one last horizon.”
With those words, the countdown begins for what promises to be the most emotional, powerful, and unforgettable world tour in rock history — U2’s final bow to the world that made them legends.
