U2 in Turin, Rehearsing New Songs
U2 has arrived in Turin and already rehearsed two new, never-before-heard songs at Olympic Stadium. That's the word from this article on Italian site U2place.com, which got the news from fans hanging around outside the stadium. The article says that Bono's voice and Edge's guitar were "readily recognizable" inside the stadium. Commentary: No doubt that U2 knows fans are listening outside the stadium and will spread news online about everything they hear/see. So, to begin day one of rehearsals with two new songs is a bit of a throw-down. It would've been quite easy and predictable to crank out "Get On Your Boots" and "Vertigo," but no.
Fans outside the stadium also report that U2 is expected to move some of its rehearsals to the Palaisozaki, an indoor facility adjacent to Olympic Stadium. That'll give the band freedom to work on the show (presumably) out of fans' sight and sound. They did a similar thing last summer while rehearsing in Barcelona.[/b]

wishful thinking, but it'll never happen. I'm waiting to see a video of a fan streaking through the rehearsal hall like we saw in the Muse topic a while back.

Anybody want to sponsor flights for me to Turin and a ticket to the show I'd do it

I looked for last minute flights today. I amn't going, was just curious. But a return flight from Edinburgh to Turin was (at the cheapest) £420. And that isn't including your hotel & ticket remember so it would be rather expensive.
