  "account": "U2 has announced a revised 2027 Latin American tour itinerary, omitting Chile for the first time in their history. The band will perform in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina as part of their \"The Greatest Show On Earth World Tour,\" celebrating their 50th anniversary. Negotiations to bring U2 to Santiago began in 2025 but reportedly failed to materialize, despite U2 having performed in Chile during all four of their previous Latin American tours. The omission is unusual, as U2's 1998 \"PopMart Tour\" marked their first visit to the country. The concert plans were reportedly affected by restrictions on the use of Estadio Nacional, where authorities prioritized sporting events. U2's tour dates include two shows each in Mexico City, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires, with Beck joining as a special guest. The band's 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, is set for release on November 13th through Interscope Records.",
