What’s More?
This tour is a continuation of the 2017 world tour to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its album – The Joshua Tree. They will be having debut performances in other Asian countries like Seoul, Manila and Singapore. In an exclusive interview, Bono and The Edge revealed what actually brought them to India.
Explaining the connection of the two countries, India and Ireland, Bono were reported as saying, “There is a whole Irish-India thing! We have the same colours in the flag, our tiny little nation — Mahatma Gandhi commented on the struggle for Irish independence and warned against the violent struggle… And our prime minister, he’s a physician — he’s trained in Mumbai, his father’s from Mumbai. It’s just these kinds of links… Also, the Irish constitution influenced the Indian constitution.”
