After the success of their October tour, U2 return to America in April 1983 for the second leg their War tour. They will play just as many shows, but this time, instead of playing colleges and bars they will be playing in larger venues with bigger crowds. This is a make or break time in U2’s short career so far. They have proved they can hold the crowd in the smaller intermate venues can they do the same in the larger ones.
