Opening Acts For Upcoming Tour

Originally posted by markp91:Muse would be very cool indeed, but not a chance. Too big.
DerBfreund: that girl you named is probably just for a Mexico gig or so, not for a complete leg (IF she already is a possibility).

or maybe Angels and Airwaves, coz they're influenced by U2 and aren't too big to open for them.

or the Goo Goo Dolls, coz those guys are insane.

The opening act for the Toronto show will be Snow Patrol, and Black Eyed Peas will open in Vancouver. Rotating opening acts in Europe will include Snow Patrol, Glasvegas, Elbow, and The Kaiser Chiefs.

Originally posted by Scott_McD:Well apparently there are some news laws being put in place in Australia that restrict foriegn artists to choosing local/Australian support acts... Not sure how true that is but a rumor...

So choosing my best Australian possibilities....

1) Crowded House - They are working on a new album so maybe a good time to tour?
2) Powderfinger - Classic Aussie Rock - If you haven't heard of them and you like U2 check them out
3) Silverchair - Have changed their music style alot since they started and Bono meet up with the lead singer a few years back (Daniel Johns) to listen to the new album

Midnight Oil or John Farnham, with that law in mind. I say get some 80s one-hit-wonder up there.

And if there's some guitar needed, Buckethead should do the job well.
