something came to my mind last night, and I hope the question is not too stupid, but...

how do U2 know their huge stage construction will work? I mean, it's got to be a massive big construction -- where do they have such a thing built -- and do they test it somewhere, do they build it up and simulate a stadium situation? How else would they know it all works in reality, other than on construction plans?

Yep they will test it somewhere, everything's gonna be alright, just look at ZooTV, Popmart etc. All that went right too

When Muse played wembley, they built the stage somewhere in Belgium, and a fan who lived in the area took photos of it and posted them, i'm guess it will be where the construction company are based

I read somewhere that they've booked Barcelona's Nou Camp Stadium, where the tour begins, for a week or two before. I'm not sure though, don't believe me that much. I'll look for the source

Ensayos previos

Técnicos de sonido y también los integrantes de la banda irlandesa pasarán bastante tiempo en Barcelona durante el mes de junio. Todos ellos se encargarán de poner a punto los preparativos previos al concierto, al tiempo que se llevarán a cabo los ensayos habituales.

Previous rehearsals

Sound techs and even the boys from U2 will spend some time in Barcelona during June. All of them will take care of setting up and preparing the stage and all the equipment for the show, and some standard rehearsals will take place too.

There you got your answer, Kirsten
