Best Tour:
Foo Fighters
Garth Brooks
Luke Bryan
Taylor Swift
U2
Bet it's going to be Taylor Swift because awards are garbage these days.
Alternative Rock Artist of the Year:
AWOLNATION
Foo Fighters
Muse
Twenty One Pilots
X Ambassadors
It would be interesting if Muse won, but I don't know enough about the other groups listed.

Songs Of Ascent- discarded some time ago
Songs Of Experience- discarded according to your theory
Songs Of Innocence
Well, we're a bunch of innocent fans, that's for sure
I still think the "Songs Of....." trilogy would be an INCREDIBLE way to conceptually end their career.
Originally posted by bpt3:Apologies if this has been noted already (checking back in after a few days away) - but in this article on Bono - which was fantastic - I got excited reading this:
"On the second Monday in March, Bono and the band are back in the studio—if not quite in profit mode, then in a creative one, hopefully. They are working on some new material for when the I+E Tour picks up again later this year."
Speculation on the part of the writer, Bono being overly optimistic about album release dates as usual, or an accurate prediction of things to come??

He's not too fond of it.
“It wasn’t fun,” Mullen says of the album he refers to as No Craic on the Horizon. “It was pretty fucking miserable. It turns out that we’re not as good as we thought we were and things got in the way.”
Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:Let's have a discussion about some that that hasn't been discussed yet.
What if the album is no longer called Songs of Experience? U2 are known to change their minds at the very last minute. What if they changed their minds and now consider the recent tour the campaign for that project, and the new album is something new entirely?
I'm grasping at straws here!
