How long does a U2 concert usually last?

Just out of curiosity, how long have U2 concerts typically lasted on previous tours, and roughly how many songs do they usually play?

If you're asking in anticipation of the tour, it's going to be hard to say in advance. It's going to depend a lot on Larry.

Also, they're bringing an opening act on this tour it looks like so it'll take several hours at the venue for sure, before the show is done for the night.

Just a general tip: you can use setlist.fm to see past show times, songs played, etc

Has never ever been 2.5. It’s max 2 hours. 1.5 main set and 30 min encore

Yes, hence the “between”.

Some IE shows did just about breach 2 1/2 hours I think. A couple had 26/27 songs.

Here's all their setlists working backwards from last month's Dublin street show.

I would expect something in the realm of 2 hours, maybe slightly more. Though I guess it could depend on their management of Larry's fitness

2 hours, plus...but Larry may not be able to do the whole 2 hours on the next tour.

Off the top of my head, just over 2hrs, 20 songs approx.
