U2 brought The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 to Rogers Centre in Toronto on June 23, 2017, with The Lumineers opening the show.
This was one of those huge Toronto stadium nights where everything felt built for scale: the screen, the crowd, the songs, and the full weight of The Joshua Tree being played in sequence. The tour marked the album’s 30th anniversary, but it did not feel like a museum piece. It felt more like watching a band step back into one of its biggest moments and find that the songs still had their own weather.
For fans looking for U2 photos from Toronto, this gallery captures Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. in full stadium mode: dramatic, sincere, oversized, and completely unafraid of reaching for the back row.
“Where the Streets Have No Name,” “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “With or Without You,” and “Bullet the Blue Sky” still carry that desert-wide feeling, but hearing The Joshua Tree live in full gave the night a different kind of shape.
The Toronto setlist opened with “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” “New Year’s Day,” “Bad,” and “Pride (In the Name of Love)” before moving into The Joshua Tree in full: “Where the Streets Have No Name,” “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “With or Without You,” “Bullet the Blue Sky,” “Running to Stand Still,” “Red Hill Mining Town,” “In God’s Country,” “Trip Through Your Wires,” “One Tree Hill,” “Exit,” and “Mothers of the Disappeared.”
The encore brought “Miss Sarajevo,” “Beautiful Day,” “Elevation,” “Vertigo,” “Ultraviolet (Light My Way),” “One,” and “I Will Follow.” Big songs, big room, big feelings. Very U2, and honestly, sometimes that is exactly what you want.
