I doubt outlaw pete will make a return at any point this summer, can't remember have we had trapped since australia? and only a sign or a complete darkness will bring streets of fire. This is a festival right? it will be interesting to see if he does a complete album for a crowd of more casual fans as a festival would imply. And if he does you'd expect it to be born in the usa
Otherwise Born To Run would be cool too.
Originally posted by ade:the river, nebraska and tunnel would all be indoors if they happened (which they won't) - there seems to be a section of fans who believe wiess is coming based on what who knows? Hope, desperation, losing the will to live with the other three?
clover i'm 50% with you on the u2 support acts, outdoors i can see a (bit of a)point - indoors no it should just be u2, onstage at around 8pm for 2.5 hours no messing. There's nothing to stop them from doing like Bruce mixing indoors and outdoors and having several days off in between to rest Bono's voice.

They could and should play for closer to three hours. At least around two and a half each night. They're renowned for their live acts and yet have barely played a show longer than 2:20, 2:30 (East Rutherford 2011 comes in at their longest show I think, at roughly 2:31). They are all ~50 and Bruce is 63..
I'm sure U2 could push it to 150 minutes+ each night they tour. They usually have enough days off in between.
Originally posted by ferrari:Idd, only 2 supportacts, started at 16.30. Also the Black Crows, which I like to see. Bruce starts about 19.00/19.30.

there's very little messing about in a u2 set though they don't have the equivalents of american land, twist and shout and (that old favourite) light of day that can be dragged out to at least ten minutes for no good reason - if bono had thirty minutes where he only actually had to sing for ten of them he'd feel like he'd had a holiday - the most he gets is a long intro
