    And newspapers do that all the time (at least here) so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the deal


    We can't laugh at Belgian newspapers anymore since PCM is taken over by them.


  2. I don't know,
    Hey it's tours RUMORS

    Just posted it as they all said
    "U2 will play in Brussels 28th of july, this will be confirmed monday 9march"


  3. No no i understand

    But i just would be really fucked up if they all would say something unreal
  4. Btw Hotpress isn't Belgian but English...
    So that's why i thought it was true


  5. HotPress is Irish. I'm pretty sure it was them who also quoted the U2 gig in Dublin for the 27th. Sure we'l find out on Monday
  6. Monday we'll know for sure that's right

    EDIT : Ofcourse, Irish ! Sorry there germcevoy
  7. it looks like they are doing a good job with the concert dates secrecy. i am surprised it hasnt leaked out yet!

    they could never keep dates from getting out in the open. Theres just too many people involved but it takes a tit to make arrangements before official word is out

    yep, thats true.. however i am surprised that, for example, london dates are still a wild guess....
  10. Im just hoping we get more pro-shots this tour than last time around! Vertigo only has like a handful of broadcasts i hope this time they show more concerts. I think they will there seems to be a lot of promotion for this one U2 channel on Tv.

    It's like a spaceship...'
    06 March 2009

    Tune in to RTE 2fm this Sunday to hear Larry talking about the new tour, playing live, the album and a changing music business.

    Interviewed by RTE 2fm DJ Larry Gogan, with whom Larry goes way back, he talks about what it took to get U2 back into a studio again, how the music business has changed over the years, how his dad got him into his first band and what fans can expect of the new show.

    On recording the new album
    "Bono was away and, on all those very long plane journeys over various continents, he gets an opportunity to write a lot of lyrics, that's what he spends of lot of his time doing."

    On stage
    "On stage for many years there are moments where certain songs change the atmosphere in the room. The one song that does that consistently is "Where the Streets Have No Name". It's one of those great moments. It always makes me laugh thinking of Brian Eno trying to burn the tape because he couldn't get his head around the song".

    On the new live shows
    "It's like a spaceship... and I know we've done spaceships before and walked out of citrus fruits! But this allows us to be placed close to the centre of the stadium. It hasn't been done before. Essentially it's trying to bring the band closer to the audience and that's the challenge."


    On the music business
    "The music business has changed so dramatically now. It's not about how many albums you sell. People don't buy albums, it's about individual songs. It's very difficult for young bands, they end up having to do things and sell themselves in a way that would have just been offensive when we were starting out."
