U2, which recently revealed plans for another round of North American shows next summer, has tacked a second night onto the outing's Southern California kick-off after posting a sell-out for the first night.
The new show sets the stage for a two-night tour-opener June 6 and 7 at Anaheim's Angel Stadium. Tickets for newly added June 7 performance go on sale November 20, according to U2's website.
So far, the band's itinerary comprises stops in a dozen cities throughout the US and Canada into mid-July.
In addition to the North American run, the band will embark on a new leg of European shows next year, beginning in August and extending through early October. Those dates can be found at U2's website.
The 2010 shows - which also will include a late-summer/early fall European trek - will continue to feature the massive stage set the band has been using over this year, designed by long-time U2 associate Willie Williams in collaboration with architect Mark Fisher, an "in-the-round" design that seeks to afford every fan in attendance an unobstructed view of the band on stage.
In late October, TheWrap.com reported that the "170-ton, $40 million, four-pronged stage [is] so enormous, its overhead so costly," that the band still hadn't broken even on the tour, even after four months on the road in the US and elsewhere.
With shows so far this year in 44 cities, the band has already played before more than three million fans in 2009.
U2 is touring behind its 12th studio album, "No Line On The Horizon," which surfaced in February. The set debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries, including the US, where it posted first-week sales of about 484,000 copies.
