    you have a right to be against it, understandably, but it just seems odd that nothing for the US has been 'rumoured;.....

    seems to me U2 could be as sneaky as they were with the release of the single to pop up with tour news


    They'll skip the US completely this tour..


  2. They will be in the US the WHOLE week of the album release! Actually about 30 min away from me I doubt they will go straight to the hotel after the taping of Letterman which means some club shows in the city of blinding lights!

    Really?


  4. Maybe another flatbed aroung the city? Who knows? I cant see them not playing a couple of shows that week. Probably impossible to get into. I was lucky enough to see them by the brooklyn bridge. Hopefully they will do something like that again.

    Yup, I think the chances of some promo-thing are quite big.
  6. Rock superstars U2 will not have a Vienna live comeback appearance this year as a Jehovah's Witnesses' event is blocking the stadium on the band's preferred days.

    The Irish four-piece reportedly planned to return to Austria on 7 or 8 August to perform at Vienna's 51,000-seat Ernst Happel Stadium. However, the religious group has already leased the venue to hold a mass christening on both those days.

    It is now looking unlikely the band will perform in Austria this year since all the other 120 concert dates of the upcoming tour are already in the planning stage.

    Tickets for U2's Vienna concert in summer 2005 were sold out within minutes.

    U2 will release their 12th studio album "No line on the horizon" on 27 February. According to singer Bono Vox, the band stepped into unknown territory with their new material. He said: "The new songs sound different than anything we have done in the past – they are simply better."

  7. Just to put that into some perspective

    Zoo TV - 158
    Vertigo tour - 132
    No Line On The Horizon - 120
    Elevation - 113
    PopMart - 94

    So at the moment, smaller than Vertigo and Zoo TV, Bigger than Elevation and PopMart

  8. If its all stadiums then the attendance figures should be huge for the whole tour.


  9. oh yeah, completely forgot about that, will probably be bigger than Vertigo then


  10. Average of 50,000 each night for 120 nights equals a cool 6 million people paying 50 quid a ticket equals a cooler 'number too large to display' (the calculator on my phone actually said that lol)
