A third night in Mexico City

U2 has added a third Mexico City concert to its 2027 The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour, giving fans another chance to see the band at Estadio GNP Seguros. The newly announced show is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 28, following earlier Mexico City dates on Feb. 23 and 26. The band announced the additional date on Oct. 21; independent coverage reported that the move followed exceptionally strong demand for the original dates. [0][1]^{[1] [2]}

The addition makes Mexico City the first stop of the tour's announced Latin American leg with three performances. U2's official tour page now lists the Feb. 23, Feb. 26 and Feb. 28 shows at Estadio GNP Seguros, alongside dates in São Paulo and Buenos Aires. The Feb. 28 concert extends the local run by one night rather than changing the two original dates. [2]^[3]

What fans need to know about the sale

The extra concert has its own subscriber presale. U2.com says eligible subscribers can enter on Thursday, Oct. 22, between 8 a.m. and noon Mexico City time, using the unique access code they already have. That code covers up to four tickets total across all Mexico City shows, so subscribers who have already purchased four tickets cannot use it for the new date. [0]^[1]

For the Mexico City shows, U2 lists a Ticketmaster artist presale at noon local time on Oct. 22 and general sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 23. The general-sale window includes the new Feb. 28 concert. The schedule differs from São Paulo and Buenos Aires, where U2 says general sales begin Oct. 22 at 10 a.m. local time. Ticketmaster's artist listing shows the Mexico City tour dates; buyers should confirm the event page and local time zone before joining a queue. [2][3]^{[3] [4]}

The tour behind the new date

The announced Latin American itinerary begins in Mexico City before moving to São Paulo and Buenos Aires, with Beck named as support for the initial run. U2's tour announcement says more 2027 dates in Europe and North America are expected in the coming weeks, so the current schedule is only the first disclosed leg. [4]^[5]

The tour shares its title with U2's forthcoming album, Carnaval De Luz, due Nov. 13. The new Mexico City date arrives as the band prepares to return to stadium touring and gives the opening leg three nights in the Mexican capital. For fans, the immediate distinction is between the subscriber presale for the added show, the Ticketmaster artist presale, and Friday's general sale; each has a separate start time and access conditions.
