1. I'm referencing stadiums rather than the size of the stage itself. Stadiums mean more running about for Bono. It's already 5 years since they last played an arena and they are unlikely to play arena for another 2 or 3. They will welcome the return I reckon (especially Bono)
  2. In the EU indoor venues are not as wide spread as in the USA, at least not of the same class / size / etc.

    I couldnt think of an indoor venue in holland big enough for U2.

    Who needs big?

    Ahoy ? and indeed who needs big. But I dont hope this will be the final tour, and I dont think so too, but you never know
  5. Small venues means less ticket sales per event. Why bother playing a small venue when you can sell out a 3 times bigger venue without any problems?

    Buying tickets will become harder as well

    Would be more intimate I think. At least I see it that way.
    Brings something special.

    Don't believe this is their "farewell" tour though. They are at the top of their game this tour, like dieder said.

    Plus I thought I heard Bono say, we will be back on more than one occasion this year. Don't see him as a liar

    No they would have announced that already then, because there will be more tickets sold then and they arent that old now they could go on for at least 2 tours I guess.
  8. Imo the current setup is the best. Intimate near the rail or the inner circle and great Claw spectacle more at the back.

    I hope they will continue with stadiums

    I dont think they wil continue with the Claw its to expensive, and we all know that U2 always renew themselfs so with the next tour they will do this again I hope and think.

    But what are we talking about the 360 tour is just halfway because we will get the Australia and NZ dates after that the South Africa dates then the Mexico and USA dates and I hope we will get another European leg at the end

    Unless you get a nice spot in a stadium the sound blows. It take forever to get the gear setup. Both haver their benefits but I would like to see them in an indoor setup sometime.
  11. a dutch newspaper wrote that U2 will release their new album in the beginning of 2011.
  12. Would be a smart move, they can promote the album then in the US and hopefully Europe/UK-IE, so they won't have to arrange another tour for that album.

    If they do a 3rd leg in Europe, when should they announce that? Anyway, keeping summer holiday plans on hold.
