U2 started their 360° stadium tour in Barcelona earlier this week.

The Irish rockers were at the Nou Camp in the Spanish city to launch their latest spectacular show in front of 100,000 fans.

The 360° shows feature a giant 50 metre high claw above the stage which has apparently been 8 years in the making.

The futuristic structure also features a massive screen - and the stage will sit in the middle of venues the group visit this summer.

On stage Bono said to the crowd: “Thank you for making our dream come true, it’s an idea we’ve been working on for eight years!”

U2 bring the massive tour to the UK in August for dates in London, Sheffield and Glasgow. Support in the UK comes from Elbow and Glasvegas.
