  4. Anyone know of any opening acts for some of the North American gigs? Mainly Seattle or Edmonton?



  5. I don't think there is anything announced yet.
  6. when did they announce the shows North American shows in late 09 eg Pasadena, im hoping they will confirm some Aussie dates, local paper said early 2011 for ocenia, that would fit in with the AFL season.
  7. Early 2011???


  8. yeh the Advertiser said this a while back(duno their source), at the time i thought it was too far away but if they r confirmed to tour up til Oct, then Sth America might be Nov/Dec, then we get em in jan/feb???

    I wouldn't believe The Advertiser for a second. You want a tabloid and gossip rag, by all means feel free to buy it.

    I'd be guessing mid-2011 at this point.
  10. The timing in Australia is very hard. It basically can't happen after March as that is when the AFL and NRL get into full swing and although you have different stadium options in Brisbane (QEII for example) in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth there isn't a stadium free. The problem with Jan-Feb is the cricket season which once again only leaves certain stadiums available.

    If U2 can get the timing right, and aim for the Feb/March period then they are able to get the biggest stadiums in every city. Imagine 100,000 people seated at the MCG plus all the extra people standing. Apart from the crowds in South America it would be there biggest concert. Homebush Stadium can seat 80,000 plus standing in Sydney and Suncorp in Brisbane can seat 52,000 plus standing.

    It very quickly adds up to massive numbers. Just remember that when U2 toured with Vertigo, after Dublin, the city which had the most tickets was Sydney, 3 shows of 70,000 each! Australians love U2
