Joshua Tree Tour 2017
Legs (3): Leg 1 - North America, Leg 2 - Europe, Leg 3 - The Americas
Shows: 52
  1. Remember you can use your code for 4 tickets, so 1 ticket for 4 shows. I think you may have to risk them not announcing a second night in one city if you want to use your presale code for that show and not other cities. I'm a bit concerned the dates are very close to each other to allow for a few shadow dates.

    I am a bit concerned myself also, but NL has one of the best fanbases of U2. So I really think there will be a 2nd show. before the 29th or 1 day after (but then there is only 1 restday.
    On the other hand, it is the Arena, so alot of people.

    Jul 7 London extra gig (could also be jul 9)
    Jul 8 London
    Jul 9 rest
    Jul 10 rest
    Jul 11 Berlin extra gig
    Jul 12 Berlin
    Jul 13 rest
    Jul 14 rest
    Jul 15 Rome
    Jul 16 Rome extra gig or rest. (My gut feeling tells me only 1 night in Rome, so rest on 16th)
    Jul 17 rest
    Jul 18 Barcelona
    Jul 19 Barcelona extra gig
    Jul 20 rest
    Jul 21 rest
    Jul 22 Dublin
    Jul 23 Dublin extra gig
    Jul 24 rest
    Jul 25 Paris
    Jul 26 Paris extra gig
    Jul 27 rest
    Jul 28 rest
    Jul 29 Amsterdam
    Jul 30 Amsterdam extra gig
    Jul 31 rest
    Aug 1 Brussel
    Aug 2 Brussel extra gig


    It's doable on paper, in line with the last tour. But is it really feasible in terms of the transportation and construction of the stage, and the band actually resting? I'm not so sure.

    Fair enough, i guess the tour itself is quite short so they can cope with with slightly higher intensity. 360 tour they had three stages, so i guess they could have atleast two if its a bit more 'traditional'.
  5. If shows are added, the question is: is it better to keep some of my presale-code for extra dates, OR buy four tickets now and swap later?

    Yeah thats the main problem nowadays I suppose, in particular with Bono's voice if they overdo it by squeezing in too many nights back to back. Last thing they want is cancelled shows or a tour cancellation if he's overdone it and sounds like Marge Simpson instead of the Bono we all know and love.

    Thats the predicament, i'm tempted to get four shows in the bag then try my luck in the general sale for any added later.
