  2. I’m going for its being called:

    “Experience the Innocence of the Tree of Songs, Joshua”
  3. It’s a catch up of tours missed in Australia
    ‘Elevation of innocence and experience the Joshua Tree’
  4. They should wait to go on tour 2020, and call the tour U20-tour
  5. Always thought U20/20 would be a great title for a tour... perhaps for the continuation in 2020. Like a greatest hits tour celebrating their 40th anniversary on record.

    Kick-off of the European leg has to be Amsterdam then...the city also known as 020 ...

    To be sure: this is not a rumour…
  6. Love (Town) is Bigger Tour 2019
  8. Who knows it could go into 2020. We don't know for sure if this is going to happen in 2019.

    I think this interview seems to suggest that the band originally wanted to delay the album following the election result to give it a more political feel but then Bono’s health scare had them change direction hence the series of letters to loved ones thing instead.


    Yes, I remember this interview. It’s quiet interesting. Hmmm... What will they do?


  10. Interesting to see the next era they’re looking at stadiums.

    That’s where the most money is made, for a smaller number of shows.

    360 was the ultimate outdoor production. No way they could top that again.

    I think the band do have a bit of a challenge to get sell out crowds for stadium gigs these days. Maybe in the US more than anywhere else but they will obviously want to play there. I think unfortunately simply touring a new album in a stadium without any massive breakthrough in terms of the set up of the stage etc will not give them the types of sales they want. I think they’ll need to come up with something that really stands out effectively putting the new album in the shadow of the tour itself, 360 definitely seemed to do this. Even though the band stuck with playing plenty of the new album in the first few legs I don’t think people were really talking about u2 touring NLOTH it was more about going to see u2 with this amazing claw and crazy set up. I think short run anniversary type shows would work as well, JT17 pushed its luck a little in having another leg which included North America but it was largely a very successful tour but I think if that was a tour in support of SOE it wouldn’t have done as well. I’m sure the shows don’t need to be a complete sell out to make them profitable but that’s really what they want to be achieving.
