On 31 May, U2 announced that it will be bringing its Joshua Tree Tour to the Asia Pacific. The countries slated to have the band on their shores are New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. Singaporean fans have had a field day upon finding out that the rock legends are finally playing a show here.
Interestingly, SPH Radio One FM DJ Harry Corro expressed his excitement towards the news with a fun little doodle:
