Around 120,000 U2 fans from Croatia and neighbouring countries are expected to attend two concerts that the world-famous Irish rock band will hold in Zagreb on Sunday and Monday, the local organiser of the concert, Lupa Promotion, said on Friday.
 
Members of the band are expected to arrive in Zagreb shortly before the first concert on Sunday at the Maksimir Stadium.

Both concerts, part of the U2 360° Tour, will start at 7 pm with support bands Snow Patrol and The Hours.

Tickets for U2’s first-ever concert in Croatia sold out in 12 hours back in March.

The U2 360° Tour will visit 14 cities across Europe including dates in Barcelona, Milan, Paris, Nice, Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin, Gothenburg, Gelsenkirchen, Chorzow, Zagreb, London, Sheffield and Glasgow before finishing at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on August 22.

The European tour will be followed by dates in North America beginning at Chicago's Soldier Field on September 12th, 2009.
