  1. It's the equivalent of sportswashing.

    I'll be done with U2 if they go anywhere near Saudi Arabia.
  2. I don't think they would, at least I hope. They are just investing in a ton of stuff that may be undervalued rn.
  3. There should have been a bigger fuss about BTS playing there IMO.

    Anyway, it sucks that there's basically a monopoly in the industry.
  4. As in you'll resign as a U2start moderator, refuse to listen to their music, refuse to watch any videos and stop buying any U2 related material? or just throw a tantrum on Instagram like a certain super fan did when it was announced they would play India. Claimed she couldn't support a band that chose to play there yet still attended that same tour ??‍♂️.

    It would be highly hypocritical of the band if they played there. Supporting Amnesty International, etc, was clearly meaningless.
  6. It would be. However it's just a matter of time until they play somewhere like Saudi, Dubai, Abu Dhabi etc..
  7. It might be a good example of Western values on display. You can all take what you want from that.

    Well they played the US so it is clearly meaningless ,many big international artists have played Saudi Arabia so why shouldn't U2?

    I agree with you, but then again, they already played in India...
  10. I mean there's India but Saudi Arabia would be a big no-no, but I don't see how they could be forced to play in Saudi if they didn't want to

    I don't think the death penalty exists for gay people in the US.

    I don't think they order journalists to be dismembered either.
  12. You could list reasons why they shouldn't play in America. You could list reasons why they shouldn't play in many of the countries that they do. Yet they still play there. Saudi will be no different.
