  2. Yeah I agree. He's got just the right amount of arrogance, but still keeps things simple.
  5. Really ? I should listen better I guess, watched both stages but didn't hear Streets at all haha.
  6. I didn't know where to stick this but apparently this is going to be One Direction's stage for their next stadium tour



  7. I was watching. Great motivation. I think I'll go out on my bike now.

  8. Nope.

    1D could maybe host one show with that stage, but even if it sold out, it would end up making them go bankrupt.

    I'm gonna be straight and say that no band on earth can hope to tour 360. I don't even think U2 can repeat the act. It was too grand and too magnificent to possibly be done twice.

    1D stadium tour isn't very expansive though. UK and Ireland I think.
  10. Based on my understanding of the financial side of 360, the tour didn't break even until halfway through the second leg. From that point on, it started rolling in major profits, but it took many sold-out shows to get to that point.

    In other words, the initial cost of running anything remotely close to 360 is so massive that the tour would have to be long in order to offset the costs. Additionally, the band would have to bring in revenue from ticket sales on the same scale as U2 in order to pull it off. Now I'm pretty sure 1D tickets are nowhere near the price of U2 tickets, so even if they toured with The Claw indefinitely, they would never be able to make it out of the hole.

    U2 had to fund the building of 3 claws at approx 20 million euro ech. If 1D use one or more they would only be renting the equipment so initial overheads would be nowhere near comparable to those of the 360 tour.

    I'll just mention that I've no idea as to whether there is even a legitimate rumour about 1D using the claw but its doable if they device too. I can't comment on ticket prices but I bet they will be high enough.
  12. They probably just used the picture to show their fans what Wembley looks like when it's full. It wasn't even an official account was it?

    Edit: No, it was just some random fan.
