U2 To Sell 360 Tour 'Claws' As 'Permanent Venues'

U2 are planning to sell off parts of their 360 tour 'claws' as 'permanent venues'.

The 360 world tour, which will come to an end on July 30 in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, has become the highest grossing tour in history.

U2's management are now planning to sell off three of the four-legged, 29,000-square-foot steel 'claws' as venues, reports Billboard.

"It's certainly our intention to see these things recycled  into permanent and usable ventures. It represents too great an engineering feat to just use for [the tour] and put away in a warehouse somewhere,'' U2 tour director Craig Evans told Billboard.

He added: U2 are ''now in discussions to send them into different places around the world and have them installed as permanent venues. Some major events have shown interest in these, from four different continents and we haven't even really put the word out yet.''

U2's jaunt has shifted over 7 million tickets at 110 gigs, also making it the highest attended tour ever.
