  1. 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.

    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."

  6. 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.
  7. "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.
  9. Another rumour: No Ireland gigs in 2010.
    Source: a fan talking to Paul McG

    lol no, touring next year is already confirmed somehow. I think that means that they will only visit countries/cities that were not played this year.
