Photographer Anton Corbijn, who photographed the album sleeve, provided films that accompanied performances of the album's songs. A silhouette of the Joshua tree from the album sleeve was painted on the screen, while a Joshua tree–shaped B-stage represented the plant's shadow. The stage featured a 7.6K resolution video screen measuring 200 ft × 45 ft (61 m × 14 m), making it the largest and highest resolution video screen of any concert tour, according to The Guardian. The band cited world events, such as the 2016 US presidential election, for what they perceived to be renewed resonance of the album's subject matter and a reason to revisit it.

U2 originally wanted to play a set of one-off shows in the US and Europe to commemorate the 30th anniversary of The Joshua Tree, but ultimately decided to stage a full concert tour instead. As part of the tour, U2 headlined the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee, in June 2017. It was the first time the group toured in promotion of an album from their back catalogue, rather than a new release. The band played the whole Joshua Tree album during the concerts, which included their first live performances of the song ' Red Hill Mining Town'. The 2019 tour visited Oceania and Asia in November and December, marking the band's first ever concerts in South Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, and India. The 2017 tour visited stadiums over four legs: North America from May to July and in September, Europe from July to August, and Latin America in October.

The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 and The Joshua Tree Tour 2019 were two worldwide concert tours by rock band U2 commemorating the 30th anniversary of their 1987 album The Joshua Tree.
