This morning on the radio some concert promoter from Ottawa said there's a chance that they'll play a concert here. He siad they'll probably play at our venue called Lansdowne Park, where there's a small outdoor staduium that used to be used for CFL games. I doubt there's any truth to this, seeing as how half the seats were demolished last year beause of safety issues, and also because it's super small. Although The Rolling Stones played there in 2005 I believe, adding extra seats to accomodate a larger audience (U2 could do this too I suppose). There's also the idea that they'd play the annual blues fest here, but I doubt it. I pretty much doubt U2 would come here at all, they only came to Ottawa in 2005 beause Paul Martin (our prime minister at the time) asked them to (lol). If anyone finds anything more about this, can you post it here to let me know? It would be awesome if they came to my hometown.

Oh my god I nearly had a heart attack when you said Lansdowne Park

I thought you said Lansdowne Road as in the new stadium in Dublin

If they do come back I hope they dont do their gigs there though its a bit small.

i think it could work, the new stadiums around 55,000-60,000 right?, thats about the average stadium size for this years European leg, and remember U2 have kinda pissed off the locals around Croke

I came onto this interview today from an RT from @atU2 in twitter.
Bono is interviewed after the "NIKE: LACE UP (RED)" campaign the other day.
he's interviewed by a Mexican correspondant of FOX and in the last few seconds he asks Bono if the Band will be going to MEXICO,
Bono: YES
FOX: when???
Bono: I can't say, I'd have to kill you
Bono: all I can say is, keep the bed warm...

nice one B-man...

here's the link (poor source):
