The first single from the album, “Get On Your Boots“, may be an all-out rocker akin to previous successes like “Vertigo”, but the remainder of the album sees the band diversifying in ways similar to their Zooropa days. It was released as a digital download on 15 February 2009, and in a physical format on the following day. The single was met with a lukewarm response and quickly fell off the charts.
U2 will begin a worldwide stadium tour entitled the U2360° Tour to support ‘No Line on the Horizon’. The tour will begin on 30 June 2009 and will include European and North American legs in 2009, each approximately 6 weeks long, with additional shows to follow in 2010.
