  2. So I've been living under a figurative rock for the past few weeks since the new quarter started for my graduate program. It seems like we're getting news of an arena tour, yes?
  3. Seems so - nothing confirmed yet.

    What's confirmed at 99% is the band will be playing at the opening of the Soccer/Football World Champ in Brazil this summer.
  4. Invisible - Free For (RED)

    http://www.u2.com/news/title/invisible-free-for-red


    The band have given a new track, 'Invisible', to (RED) for a free download on iTunes next week - for 24 hours only.

    The song, produced by Danger Mouse and mixed by Tom Elmhirst, launches a partnership with (RED) and Bank of America to fight AIDS.

    Every time the track is downloaded, anywhere in the world, a $1 donation will be made to (RED) by Bank of America - up to a total of $2m. All the funds will go to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

    'Invisible' will be available on iTunes for 24hours from Feb 2nd - 'Super Bowl Sunday'. A commercial during the Super Bowl will feature the band performing the track, from a forthcoming video directed by Mark Romanek.

    Since Bono and Bobby Shriver founded (RED) in 2006, to engage business in the fight against AIDS, it's generated more than $240 million for the Global Fund. (RED) and its partners – from Bank of America, to Starbucks, Apple and others – are working to end mother-to-child transmission of the deadly HIV virus by 2015, in line with the UN Millennium Development Goals.

    More in the FT here.
  5. Promising but I expect Ordinary Love Part 2. Just release the album ffs.
  6. I think I lost something about this thread...is it confirmed that Invisible will be on the album? cos I'm not sure we're gonna get a new album announcement during the superbowl
  7. Interesting the way they are promoting all,of these singles. Is this the new direction from the new manager? We shouldn't complain I guess. 2 new songs in last couple of months isn't bad.

    Better than what has happened in the last three years.
  9. This is bullshit. For every copy bought BoA will donate 1$? Well, guess how much does 30sec promo on SuperBowl cost? Four. Million. Dollars. Add to that the costs of filming video for the song and you're near 5 million $.

    Charity my ass.
