Interpol, Florence and the Machine to Open for U2

Earlier this year, U2 had to postpone their North American stadium tour after Bono suffered a back injury. Interpol, who'd been booked to open some of the shows, had to scrap an entire tour that they'd built around those dates.

But now the U2 shows are back on for next year, and the band just announced the opening acts on their website. Interpol will open some of the shows, and so will the increasingly huge art-poppers Florence and the Machine. In way less exciting news, Lenny Kravitz, the Fray, and Snow Patrol will also open some of the shows.

U2 are on tour in Europe right now, with Interpol opening. And then they head Down Under with Jay-Z. We've got all U2's dates below.
