1. yes, but Janus said De Kuip was reserved for 7 days. Of course that doesn't mean 7 shows, but it's quite a long time for a stadium to be reserved.
  2. Originally posted by SJKamal:Could u2 going to Australia mean that they won't be signing a new contract with LiveNation? If u2 are going to sign, or have already signed, then maybe LiveNation could have been nice and let this tour slide because they know they've got another guaranteed 10 years of u2. Or u2 haven't/won't sign, and LiveNation wants every penny they're owed before the contract expires?


    That seems like a logical conclusion to me.

    The last known contract discussions saw them sign a 12 year deal in early 2008. If that's the deal they are still operating on (and other than one rumour, there's been no news otherwise) then they are probably on that contract through to early next year. So getting Australia done might be the best spot to put themselves in to have a strong negotiating position for whatever contract they are looking for next.

  4. Maybe we still won’t get tour announcement tomorrow (Monday)?...
  5. I doubt Madonna would affect a U2 announcement. If I remember correctly, last year U2 and Eminem tickets went on sale at the same time.
  6. The Madonna show is in theaters and apparently VERY expensive. Would have no effect on a U2 tour. I'm fairly sure it's only the state of Queensland that has a public holiday tomorrow, not that it would matter - a day off work gives people even more time to scroll their phones and see a tour announcement.

    But Guy is the manager of Madonna and U2?
  8. Didn't know that tbf.
  9. Besides I'm not expecting anything until the second half of this month.
