    I've heard mixed reports about the sound at Suncorp. I think it'll be ANZ (or QSAC) again.
  2. yeh id love to see u2 play 'The G' id definatley pay to see that. i hope they play at adelaide oval too, then i can go twice
    EDIT: also like how this seems to be an australian themed forum lately.


  3. That's because we're beside ourselves wondering whether they'll tour or do another Elevation and not come down here. Northern hemisphere are fine - they'll have their U2 fix for 2009.

    In all honesty, I think it'd be bad for U2's image down here if they don't tour - moreso than the Elevation snub. They are still enormously popular down here and to ignore that would be a serious failing on their part.

    They got good crowds down here last time. In fact I'd probably say that Sydney went close to attracting the most number of people than anywhere else in the world. 3 nights at Telstra Stadium was massive.




  4. And I still hope they came here in 2010. Maybe October ou November...

    I also believe they'll tour in N. America again...

    Greetings from Brazil
  5. There is an bit on the BBC website, about the claw being given away when the tour is over.

    "U2 are set to give their multi million pound stage away after their 360 degree tour finishes later this year.
    Architect Mark Fisher, who designed the stage, says the band want to leave stages behind in different countries so people can hold concerts on them. "

    The video clip on that webpage has an interview with Mark Fisher who suggests that the claw might be left in South America and Australia when the band have toured there.

    (video clip probably only plays to UK residents)
  6. jup, video plays in holland as well
  7. let's hope they play Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium as it is a far better concert venue than hampden park the sound in hampden on the vertigo was very poor sound and atmosphere in Murrayfield is much better.

    U2's tour architect has said that is hoping to turn the giant claws currently being used as part of their stage set-up into permanent venues.

    The band's 360 Tour, which calls at London's Wembley Stadium this weekend (August 14, 15), features a giant claw allowing fans a 360 degree view of the band. It is one of three similar claws to be used during their world tour, which is currently scheduled to finish in Vancouver on October 28, but is likely to stretch into 2010.

    Mark Fisher says he has been discussing with U2 about the possibility of using the steel claw structures around the world once the band wrap up their tour, reports BBC News.

    "My vision, which I've been discussing with the band, is that we will turn them into concert pavilions," he said. "Part of the tour will finish in Australia and another part of the tour will finish in South America, where people could use a nice concert pavilion in a park, which has an ability to take 200 tonnes of kit hanging under it."

  10. to me then it looks likethey are gonna retire the claws one by one meaning that we could seet the last remaining claw playing a final show somewhere random.
  11. "they cant skipt Holland... they never did"

    They make the biggest profit with an seccond date. So if they do Brussels twice you will have people from Belgium, Holland, North of France and Germany. I think they skip Holland.

    If the Arena is the only place they can play then I'm fine with it. Don't like the idea of retiring the Claws, I hoped they were planning to use in the future also. So that means we're going to get a less bigger tour next time.
