Boy Tour
Från Rilpedia
Texten från svenska Wikipedia
Boy Tour är namnet på U2:s första turné, som genomfördes 1980-1981.
Under de första åren efter att bandet bildades 1976, turnerade U2 på mindre klubbar i Dublin och andra städer på Irland. I december 1979 åkte de till London på turné med sin första EP Three i ryggen. I början gick det inget vidare; vid en konsert dök nio åskådare upp. Men genom en intensiv marknadsföring spreds ryktet om bandet och i februari 1980 fick U2 sitt efterlängtade skivkontrakt av Island Records.
Innan albumet Boy ens var utgivet turnerade man i Storbritannien vilket var lyckat då mycket branschfolk såg dem och blev positivt överraskade. Under vintern 1980 åkte U2 över till USA och spelade, ibland som förband. Det var oftast bussresor vilket gjorde att bandet lärde känna USA:s natur och landsbygd. Detta skulle senare skulle påverka dem mycket under musikskrivandet. U2 återvände därefter till Europa och spelade då för första gången i Sverige. När bandet under våren 1981 gjorde 60 spelningar i USA hade publikskaran ökat markant.
