    Granted I've not listened to Acrobat for a good while but it never stood out to me as a song that would present a big challenge for him, vocal wise.

    I guess they'll probably just take it down a half step like they do with a lot of songs.
  2. Honestly for this tour, I hope they say "you know what? f@#* this! we're gonna play acrobat, and love is blindness and drowning man and POP stuff and NLOTH stuff..." They can play more than 2 hours, enough to include the songs the band knows the fans wanna hear & also play the classics the average crowd wanna hear. This tour has the chance to be one of their best! with the augmented reality & the enormous catalogue of songs they have, they can produce an EPIC tour..if anyone can pull off an epic tour at this stage of their career, that is U2. cmon lads, make us go crazy.

    "the classics the average crowd wanna hear" was last years HitsFest.
  4. Given the fan gift, I'm expecting to see the Desire Hollywood mix return to the setlist too.
  6. Originally posted by deanallison:I really think Acrobat is going to work so well live, possibly as an encore opener a bit like ultraviolet, that they’ll be more than happy to keep it. It’s such an intense number I could see it being like Exit was on the last tour. I just think it has to make it out of rehearsals, if they can rehearse it to a standard they’re happy with I think it could hang around for the entire tour.


    Yes I think it will work out brilliantly live. Especially as the plan is to replace “Bullet” with “Acrobat” during the political part of the set.... this is a rumour

    They have nothing to do with each other thematically (or otherwise).

    I won't object tho
  9. God Part II would be nice.....
  10. Throw some POP in there! I really hope that the encore will be a lot better this time, because BD + COBL during I+E were basically two wasted spots Lets hope that Acrobat survives the rehearsals/1st night
