"It's only taken me 30 years to learn how to sing these songs and it's great to say that I've finally caught up with the band," said U2 frontman Bono. "Our audience has given The Joshua Tree a whole new life on this tour... And now we get to do it all over again," he added. Staging for the tour includes a series of specially commissioned films from Dutch photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn, who shot the cover art for the original Joshua Tree album sleeve. U2 guitarist The Edge said that the Australasian tour was "going to feel like a homecoming." "We promised we would and finally, now we we can say that we will see you in November," he said.  U2 last played New Zealand in 2010 with a gig during which they payed tribute to the victims of the Pike River tragedy, then a week-old event. Tickets for the Auckland date will be available as presale for U2.com subscribers from June 4-6, and go on general release on June 11. In what the band claims will be a New Zealand first, stadium floor tickets will be entirely paperless.
