U2 reschedules Mpls. show for 2011

St. Paul, Minn. — Good news for U2 ticketholders: The band has rescheduled its appearance at TCF Bank Stadium.

U2 canceled its June 27 concert after the band's frontman, Bono, injured his back and had surgery.

In an e-mail, Ticketmaster announced to ticketholders of that event that U2 will come to TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday, July 23, 2011.

The Irish rock band is in the midst of a multi-year tour in support of its latest album, "No Line on the Horizon." The "360" tour is the costliest ever of its kind, largely because of a innovative but costly new stage design.
