I mean, I know it sucks that you don't get the bands, but at least you're close enough to places to travel to see bands. When I'm in Darwin it's not that easy/cheap to travel to see a band. When I was living there in January it was about $1000 all up for me to go to BDO on the Gold Coast... Adelaide to Melbourne must surely be cheaper than that haha!

    I remember a promoter once saying Adelaide was the strangest market to deal with - hence why so many bands bypass Adelaide. South Australia has the facilities for enough tickets to be sold - there is the Entertainment Centre, or for smaller shows - Thebarton Theatre. Although after the experience two weeks ago, I'd prefer to go to Allphones Arena - at least the sound is great and it doesn't feel like a sauna in there.

    Put it this way, quality rock bands such as Duran Duran (if you think I'm talking shit, I challenge you to go to a show on the next tour and tell me I was wrong) cannot sell out an entire arena by themselves, as neither can Robert Plant. Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, however....they can. Just shows the climate of current trends; not sure if this is the same in other places.

    Just got to do it. I'll be taking a trip back to Melbourne in early May for Aerosmith. And then god knows how much that'll cost - probably comparable to U2 in the same city.
  5. This must be an April Fools joke! When are people going to to understand (and the press should know this) that 10 reasons exsist is about as likely to be the title of the next album as The current Rolling Stones tour being their final one! Come on The Sun, give us some real news as opposed to something that was said and reported all over the place months ago.

  10. Hello everyone! It's been a long, long, while but I am back! The hard drive on my laptop died about a month ago and I've been running on a very slow netbook since then, so I haven't had the time to keep up with the forums.

    Fortunately, I've got a new lightning-fast laptop and I'm ready for U2 to release their next album (see how my over-zealous intro was related to the topic at hand). From what I've been reading, it seems like the timeline is new album in 2013, tour in 2014. If this happens, my prediction will have been right on. Do we have any more specific details regarding the progress of the album?

    I've read some pretty troll April 1st jokes, but some of them just took things a bit beyond the realm of believability. For example, there was an article saying that Brandon Flowers was going to disband The Killers after their tour, clearly over the top.

    Now if somebody said that U2 decided to push up their timeline and that we should expect a new album before the start of summer, that would truly be cruel.
