  1. It'll be a mostly an arenas tour: U2360 can't be topped, as many have pointed out. But this doesn't mean the next tour won't be awesome. It'll of course all depend on so many things: the next album, but also which old songs they're going to play. There's a lot more to U2 than Pride, WOWY and Streets -- they need to understand that too. Especially in Arenas, a lot of stuff that's never been played -- e.g. some great B-sides from 1987-1992 -- could work really well.
  2. ZooTV couldn't be topped.
    PopMart couldn't be topped.
    360 can't be topped?

  3. In terms of gross, attendance and worldwide spread, no, it can't.
  4. More photo's from Julian Lennon:







  5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading Bono or Adam say like mid-360 that the next tour would be way smaller and they would be playing fan-favourite songs and other songs that aren't normally and haven't been played at all.

    Bono: "We don't know what we want to do next," he says. "It feels a bit like 1990, where we have to dig a very deep well. I'm very proud of our last album. It was very rich. I want to go airborne on the next one. But we have to have very good reasons to put out a new U2 album. There are 150 million of them out there. Why would anyone want another one? I don't know if it will be a year or five years."

    Don't expect an encore, Edge says: "We can't do anything bigger than 360. You can't top it for sheer size and audacity."

    Bono predicts the band will head indoors next time. "I wouldn't be surprised if we go out with one light bulb."

  7. I remember that coming out around the same time, but I swear I remember reading an interview where one of them was commenting on songs like Scarlet and One Tree Hill saying that the next tour would be songs that they seldom play and even some that they've never played. I remember us all wondering what songs they'd try, and of course Acrobat came up.

    Wish I could find it
  8. Ah, I don't know then. I only remember that quote above because I posted it a few months ago.
  9. Yes, the "smaller tour, lesser known songs" is old news by now.

    Let's hope it becomes true.
  10. Smaller as in arena shows as opposed to stadiums, correct? I also recall them toying with the idea of being on the road for longer stretches while releasing mini EPs every so often.

    Yes, 15k arenas instead or +60k stadiums. I'd love to see U2 in an arena, I have seen them thrice and really up close but in stadiums, never in an indoor venue. It has to be an amazing experience too
  12. this and a killer instinct is what it's needed and everything could happen .. stadiums or arenas
