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

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.
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."

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)

Have they confirmed that it is going to be stadiums in North America though, unless theyre going to wait to come here until summer 2010 it seems tough to me to play stadiums in the winter in North America
