Dear John,

In a few days the band arrive in Berlin and at the end of next week the European leg of #U2eiTour opens in Germany.

We'll be covering every show - and if you're going along and posting on social media, include the hashtag #U2eiTour and you might find yourself featured in our rolling coverage on show days. In Zootopia, the excitement is building.

Meantime, here's what's new elsewhere on U2.com.

Summer of Love (Remixes EP) is the follow up to the band's #1 Billboard Dance Club Chart remixes of 'Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way'. The EP features four new versions of 'Summer of Love' . Read about them here and take a listen.

'The tattoos become about the personal narratives and the stories… how the band helps people navigate their lives.' New video featuring Professor Beth Nabi and the U2 Tattoo Project.

'I ended up having a 30-minute conversation with Bono on board the space station, which was completely surreal...' U.S. Astronaut Tim Kopra, a longtime U2 fan, with a pretty good how-I-met-Bono story.

Thanks and best wishes,
The U2.com Team
