The tour, which is dubbed ‘climate positive’ and features a host of environmental measures, begins in Dublin on June 2, heading through Europe before reaching the UK on July 5 for a gig at Edinburgh Castle.

For the new run, the band are continuing to partner with environmental non-profit organisation REVERB.org.

A statement said: “The band has committed to a comprehensive climate action program via REVERB’s Music Climate Revolution campaign, which, in addition to reducing the tour’s environmental footprint and engaging fans to take action at the shows, will support projects that directly and measurably eliminate greenhouse gases while benefitting diverse global communities.

“These efforts will make the tour climate positive; eliminating significantly more greenhouse gas pollution than the tour emits including fan travel to and from shows.”
