We've all been assuming as much, and now we can confirm that there will be no opening acts during the upcoming Experience + Innocence tour. @U2 got confirmation of that this morning via the band's communications team.

It makes sense: The tour is a companion to 2015's Innocence + Experience tour, which itself had no opening acts. During that tour, showtime was typically listed as 7:30 p.m. and U2 took the stage at about 8:15 p.m. (For some shows that year, add 30 minutes to each of those times.) On this year's tour, all of the North American shows are listed with an 8:00 p.m. start time, so we're guessing the band will take the stage somewhere between 8:30 - 9:00 p.m.
