2009-01-13 14:52:06 - U2 have promised fans they will be blown away by their visually spectacular new tour.

U2's new tour will be a "feat of genius". The Irish rockers have been secretly creating a technologically-advanced stage set for when they hit the road later this year, and have promised fans something spectacular. Frontman

Bono, 48, said: "It's fair to say what we've planned for our outdoor shows has never been done before and that we've been working on it for a long time. "It's a feat of engineering genius." Before they go on their proposed tour, U2 will debut their new single 'Get On Your Boots' - taken from their upcoming album 'No Line On The Horizon' - at this year's BRIT Awards on February 18. Ged Doherty, Chairman of the BRITs committee, said: "We're thrilled to confirm U2 have chosen the BRITs for their first global TV performance of their new single." The band has not yet announced any live dates. The group's new album is to be released worldwide in March.
