I think there is a high possibility U2 will play a lot of I+E staples this tour. And they will even keep the same visuals. We can only dream about rarities. But to be honest, rarities are not likely or they will be dropped soon.

I don’t think you’ll find many u2 fans that agree with your idea of a safe Setlist. Carrying songs on from the previous album to the next tour, especially a handful of non singles, could be considered as risky a Setlist you could ask for from u2. In fact to many that would be just about the dream scenario, dropping some of the overplayed hits and keeping room for both SOE and SOI.

Everyone can have their predictions. But my prediction, because this tour is a continuation of I+E, there is a high possibility U2 will play the same songs and overplayed hits this tour as I+E with a few SOE songs. And there is a high possibility the show will have the same general concept and almost the same visuals as I+E. I agree with robotsandmonkeys.

With "one way or the other" I meant: either surprised by playing the i+e set once more, as you seems to suggest. OK, you won't be surprised, but I surely will! I mean, I take it that the concept will be the same, but all SOI songs will be replaced by SOE songs. Take for example the BBC broadcast. Anyway, the other way of surprising is indeed the "dream out loud" variant!
BTW: I would be very disappointed (and surprised) if Beautiful Day doesn't make it to the set.
And remember: being surprised is just a state of mind. It's fun
PS: no way they going to repeat the SOI songs

The BBC Broadcast is no comparison. It was a short setlist in the promo tour. I'm not sure Lights Of Home, 13 and Love Is Bigger Than Anything In It's Way will all make it to the setlist, without orchestra, btw. I think U2 will play the following SOI songs this tour: The Miracle, Cedarwood Road, Song For Someone, Invisible And Every Breaking Wave. All with the same visuals, and The Miracle as show opener. They play Beautiful Day every show since 2000. I'm suprised they are not tired of it.
