U2 Sets Attendance Records In Person And On Net

Last Night At Rose Bowl

U2 set records last night as the legendary rock band played to at least 96,000 people at THE ROSE BOWL in PASADENA -- but millions more watched it live on YOUTUBE, reports CNET -- and some said the event was the largest live-streamed event of all time.

When it wraps up this week, the U2 360 Tour will have played to over 3 million fans in just 44 cities. Record-shattering sales included THE ROSE BOWL, as well as setting the all-time record at NEW YORK's GIANT STADIUM, where the audience surpassed that of the Pope.

Having performed in a limited number of NORTH AMERICAN cities in 2009, U2 360 is set to touch down in a new set of stadiums next summer, including stops in ANAHEIM; DENVER; OAKLAND; SEATTLE; EDMONTON; EAST LANSING; MIAMI; PHILADELPHIA and MONTREAL. U2 360 will also return for one night only in TORONTO and CHICAGO before finishing the NORTH AMERICAN leg in NEW YORK at the NEW MEADOWLANDS STADIUM.
