1. Does anyone else think it might be plausible for U2 to pop up on Sunday night?

    I know Bono is supposed to be resting but if he has to do 2.5 hour shows in 3 months, surely he could do a 4 min song now! A live performance of Every Breaking Wave to coincide with the official single release perhaps?
  2. Well, there's a good chance, you have a point. But Bono said in the A-Z letter he wasn't going to appear in public until mid-2015 so who knows.

  3. Whops, it seems not:

  4. I don't think they're coming, but I think they're winning
  5. Would that be "U2" as a collective? That still doesn't rule out Edge performing Acrobat solo.
  6. WOW. I'm gonna bet some money on this now.
  7. Does SOI even qualify for awards this year? I remember reading something about how the album was "officially" released too late to be considered for the current awards cycle.

    Even though Bono said he wouldn't make any public appearances until mid 2015, that hasn't stopped Edge from doing his thing with Mario Batali. Just saying...
  8. SOI does qualify for the Grammys thanks to the limited black vinyl edition they released just in time to be eligible. Don't you remember?

    U2's new album, Songs Of Innocence, will be eligible for next year's Grammy Awards, after all.

    Although the physical album has a listed release date of October 14 (in North America), Universal Music quietly sent out a limited number of vinyl pressings of the album over the past couple days to independent record stores across the U.S.
  9. Ah ok. I think I probably missed this update.
  10. It's nominated for best Rock album. It could win. It's a great album, a great collection of songs.
  11. U2 didn't get it guys. What a farce, but then again what a surprise.
