Jay-Z To Join U2 On 360 Degree World Tour

Jay-Z is set to support U2 on upcoming Australian leg of their 360 Degree world tour.

The rapper will open for the band from when the jaunt begins at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand on November 25.

Other dates are scheduled to take place at outdoor venues in Brisbane and Sydney, before concluding at the Subiaco Oval in Perth on December 18.

Tickets for the Australian dates go on sale on Friday (August 27).

Meanwhile, U2 are currently only the European leg of the 360 Degree tour, and are scheduled to play Moscow, Russia tomorrow (August 25).

The Irish band returned to the road earlier this month following singer Bono's recovery from back surgery.
