1. ^ indeed, nothing new... Although 3 and 5 are exciting
  2. Hey, it's something...

    It's still a shame we've got almost nothing to discuss, only months before the tour...
    If Bono was ok, they would've been in the news almost every day and this place would've been busy as a beehive.
  3. I guess it's a slow day for U2 news when a compilation of old news/speculation at @U2 keeps bouncing from forum to forum as "shocking news".
  4. U2 had their musical journey planned out during 360 as well. They go on a few legs promoting NLOTH, then Bono takes a pit stop at a German facility for an upgrade before pumping out a few more legs.


  5. While it excites me that they are allegedly combing through their back catalog, I hope they don't drop songs like "Streets". This will be my third U2 show and while I want to hear some new songs Streets is a highlight of every show...an experience even.

    My girlfriend is coming with me this time and I feel like it would be a shame to deny her and any other live U2 virgin that experience.

    Well we can't have it all I'm afraid Given the many tours with loads of classics I think this is about time they drop all of that and really mix it up.

    Then they can use the 2016 stadium tour to bring back the classics and "normal" U2 setlists, which is also what Bono seemed to hint at.
  7. For some reason I still honestly doubt the extensive alternate setlists, I'm honestly expecting a lot of variation but not 20 out of the 23 songs. I can see SBS acoustic one night, SBS electric one, California early on in the show electric then the same song acoustic mid-to-late show. Songs like One Tree Hill are still going to be rare. However it's all exciting and I hope they're proven wrong.

    I still think Streets, One, Beautiful Day, Vertigo and maybe WOWY will be lightly.
  8. Perhaps they are planning a 10 - 15 minute medley of some of the old and I have to say tired staples (NYD, WOWY, SBS, BTBS etc). Could be interesting......

    I love that idea, just a few long snippets
