  1. Or maybe
    Leg 1: Europe
    Leg 2: Australia/Japan
    Leg 3: South America
    Leg 4: North America
    Leg 5: Europe again?
    To make America as late as possible?


    I wish Australia was the 2nd leg! Never gonna happen though as we are hearing rumors of US Dates and I'm sure something would have leaked overhere by now. If the album leaks in Australia then so do the dates!
  2. Bono confirms early summer tour


  4. Reminded me of the John Lennon quote "..For our last number, I'd like to ask your help. The people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, just rattle your jewelry" --- Royal Variety Performance in 1963...
  5. I think it's high time that U2 opens a world tour in Europe- I am in the U.S., but I think it's the Europeans' turn- we've been lucky enough to have the first legs of the last several tours. Christ- Vertigo, Elevation, Popmart, Zoo TV, Joshua Tree- all these tours started in the U.S.A.!

    The bottom line is that pretty much all of us are wondering what will be announced on March 9. And, just as importantly, how the hell they will handle any presale/GA issues. Most of us remember how "smoothly" everything went last tour....Well, here's hoping!

  6. any scots joining me at hampden on august 18th for U2?

  7. Would have preferred Murrayfield as Hampden is a shithole. At least the concert is at a decent time of year and not midsummers day as the last one was. Might even see the screens and lightshow this time as it should be darker.

  12. U2 pencils in Croker July special for No Line tour
    By Alistair Grant

    U2 are expected to confirm details of their No Line on the Horizon tour, with tickets on sale from Saturday week for 50 concerts across Europe and North America.

    The tour will feature a 360-degree central stage and credit crunch-busting ticket prices which, according to unofficial reports, could be as low as €30.

    U2 are due to confirm Irish dates at Dublin’s Croke Park on July 24, 25 and 27 and early August concerts at Wembley, Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium and the City Of Manchester Stadium.

    The tour is expected to start at Barcelona’s Nou Camp stadium at the end of June, with dates at Stade de France in Paris on July 10 and 11, then Nice, Berlin and Amsterdam before heading to Dublin for an emotional Croke Park homecoming.

    U2 then head for the United States and Canada, with tickets for those concerts going on sale on April 4.

    In the US, they are due to play New York, Boston, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco.

    The band’s 12th studio album No Line on the Horizon came out on Friday in Ireland, Holland, Germany and Australia and will be released in the rest of Europe and North America today.

    Tour tickets are to go on sale on March 14 and an instant sell-out is expected.
    U2 manager Paul McGuinness revealed the band’s tour details to music industry magazine Music Week.

    Arthur Fogel, global touring chief executive of U2’s promoters Live Nation, confirmed the bargain tickets prices.

    He said: "There will be extreme [price] tiering. The notion of single-price tickets is not something I have ever embraced.

    "In this particular [economic] climate, it’s important to really look at tiering carefully."

    Following Friday’s BBC rooftop gig in London, U2 begin a five-night stint on US TV show The Late Show with David Letterman tonight.
