Title: U2 360 World tour
Venue: Stadiums across the World

GLD have supplied the complete backstage environment for the entire touring schedule of the internationally renowned stadium rock band's staggering world tour.

U2's 360° tour started back in 2009 and came to a close in July 2011. In 26 months, U2 have literally played to millions of fans across the globe as they have taken in much of the northern and southern hemispheres.

The touring schedule has been staggering not only in its mileage covered. Each venue has seen the installation of an impressive stage set with a cylindrical video system of LED panels on a 150 feet high steel structure over a stage with rotating bridges, all to give the audience a truly 360° viewing experience.

GLD have been on the road with U2 all the way over the last 3 years. The tour marks over 20 years working association with the band.
