October Tour

October Tour var U2:s andra turné, och genomfördes 1981-1982.

U2 var redan vid den här tiden känt som ett bra liveband. Albumet October fick dock sämre recensioner än föregångaren Boy och turnén blev kortare. Den inleddes i oktober  i Europa och fortsatte i USA månaden efter. Före jul och efter nyår spelades ett fåtal konseter i Storbritannien och Irland.

Albumet sålde sämre än väntat och den planerade fortsättningen på turnén i USA var ett tag i fara. U2 bokades då in som förband till The J. Geils Band för en del av konserterna. Under sommaren spelade U2 i Europa igen på sommarfestivaler, bland annat Roskildefestivalen och Ruisrock utanför Åbo i Finland. Sverige besöktes inte.
