The European leg of The Great Circle came to a close this week with a string of epic festival appearances across the continent plus encore plays at London’s Hammersmith Apollo and L’Olympia in Paris.
In addition to the shows, the band got out and about visiting galleries, historic sites and catching up with U2’s Joshua Tree tour on a night off.
Thanks to everyone who came to a show for helping make recent weeks an all time highlight for the band.
Now it’s on to South Africa for a special outdoor show in Johannesburg.
