U2 Unveils World Tour Plans
March 6, 2009 at 4:28 pm

U2 is set to throw its arms around the world with a visually stunning global tour in support of its new album, No Line on the Horizon.

Bono and the boys' "Kiss the Future" tour kicks off June 30 in Barcelona and is slated to rock on until the fall of 2010, says Billboard. The band will perform on a 360-degree stage placed smack-dab in the center of the audience with a cylindrical video screen capturing all the action.

"This is going to be completely different, and that's what makes it exciting -- finding something new to bring to the touring culture," says guitarist The Edge. "It's hard to come up with something that's fundamentally different, but we have, I think, on this tour. Where we're taking our production will never have been seen before by anybody, and that's an amazing thing to be able to say. For a band like U2 that really thrive on breaking new ground, it's a real thrill."

Breaking news: ET is first to receive the protective order issued by the court that limits Chris Brown's interactions with Rihanna, whose given name is Robyn Fenty.

The order filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday stipulates that Chris must not "harass, strike, threaten, assault (sexually or otherwise), follow, stalk, molest, destroy or damage personal or real property, disturb the peace, keep under surveillance, or block movements of the protected persons named above," with Robyn Fenty listed as the protected person. View the document here.

The order expires on March 5, 2012 and also requires Chris to surrender or sell any licensed firearms within 24 hours. The order also prevents the teenage R&B star from attempting to dissuade witnesses from attending a hearing or testifying, or trying to "obtain the addresses or locations of protected persons or their family members, caretakers, or guardian unless good cause exists otherwise."
