  1. Don't believe the weekend leg either, but indeed, the Zoo TV bit sounds nice. Especially this part:

    Part of the audience interaction is to do with texting and crowd video content that you can submit prior to going to a show. You'll be able to upload a video to u2.com. The audience video is then used in the visuals for the show. Steve said the concept was to extend Zoo TV which drew on TV content from around the world - this is the fans content. Real life. They envisage fans making the soundbites / visuals this time around.


    Not that I would upload some video to U2.com, but it is revolutionary for a concert. It makes every gig diverse and different.

    That's what I meant with the Zoo TV thingy. It's like the confessionals, just using a new media - the logical next step.

    Exclusive: U2 get on their boots for 3 Croker crackers

    Band rock GAA ground in biggest world tour

    The Mirror, February 04, 2009

    By Paul Martin



    The secret is out! Today we reveal the inside details of U2's biggest ever world tour.

    The rockers are set to return with a bang by with a European stadium tour this summer.

    And they will enjoy a huge homecoming celebration with three nights at Croke Park.

    We have learned the band has provisionally booked the GAA ground for July 24, 25 and 26.

    All tickets are expected to sell out in record time when details are announced next month.

    With the album No Line on the Horizon released next month and their single "Get On Your Boots" No. 1 in Ireland, U2 kick off their most ambitious tour at the end of June with two shows at Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium.

    Then they head to Paris for mammoth shows at the Stade France on July 10 and 11.

    Bono can crash at his home in St. Tropez as he plays a week of live shows in sun-drenched Nice.

    Berlin and Amsterdam have also been booked in with capacities of 70,000 for each gig.

    Next up it's Wembley in London, Millennium Stadium Cardiff and City of Manchester arena in August.

    Then Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. head to America where they will play a full stadium programme for the first time in 12 years.

    In September they go to New York, Boston and Chicago before heading to Miami, California and San Francisco over the winter.

    A source close to the band revealed last night: "They have avoided U.S. stadiums for the past two tours as they were worried they wouldn't sell out.

    "They obviously think demand is there and want to reclaim their spot as the world's No. 1 band."
  4. Hotels raised their prices three times in Dublin already, crazy.


  5. Sounds good and believable.

    Although I would prefer them playing Rotterdam.
  7. I like the sound of the Mirror's report - August dates in the UK would be awesome for me personally, seeing as that's right bang in the middle of my holidays lol it would just be a case of sorting out tickets...
  8. so the options are, blow all my cash on 3 nights in Dublin or balance Dublin with a night ay Wembley. Accomodations easy in Dublin if you know the right places

    Or spare some money from now on and go to all shows


  10. haha. 3 will be plenty. Bootlegs will do for the rest
  11. hello all,ive just got on this forum.

    im a massive u2 fan(obviously)since under a blood red sky when i was 13.

    anyway.going back to these rumours.i know nothing is set instone yet.and it will be a month or so,

    anyway,i was thinking about u2 croke park,but the hotels doubling thier rates is a bot too much seeing as me and er indoors are off to rock werchter.

    and the big one u2 at the garden new york,hopefully in september on my birthday.

    so it looks like dublin is cancelled,
    for u2 at london or manchester.

    saves flights,double priced hotels.

    so heres to a big summer.
  12. I really really hope U2 won't return to the Amsterdam Arena and will do their dutch shows in Rotterdam or Nijmegen.
