Feeling bad that you missed U2 at the Rose Bowl concert Sunday? The band has extended its 360 Tour and will be back in Southern California on June 6, performing at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Ticket information has not yet been released.

You can still see the Pasadena performance, of course. The live broadcast Sunday night generated 10 million streams across seven continents and, since being archived on YouTube on Monday, has tallied more than 1 million streams, a spokesman for the site reports.

Information on the average length of time viewers watched the nearly 2 1/2 -hour concert was not readily available. Nor has YouTube broken the numbers out into individual users.
