Thats ok u2 has lost so much traction here in this part of the world u2 would be lucky to fill an indoor arena, i suspect that some of the delay or unsurety of this tour might come down to LIVENATION sussing out whether they would sell enough tickets for stadiums....

certainly the craziest. I really miss the good old days when U2 fans were just U2 fans.. I just found out Ultraviolet got voted 2nd best U2 song a couple of years ago on this forum.. it's a great song, but how can that end up 2nd best song?? something must be wrong with this forum and honestly sometimes I think there is.. maybe just like the rest of the world

If Phil Collins can sell out 3 nights at Qudos Arena in Sydney (21,000 per night), performing the entire show on a bar stool, when he built his reputation as a drummer and hasn't had a hit in 25+ years, I'd bet my house on U2 matching that or better.

Spoiler (click to toggle) 1. The Blackout
2. Magnificent [could rotate with other song(s)]
3. Beautiful Day
[potential rotation slot here]
4. Iris
5. Cedarwood Road
6. Sunday Bloody Sunday
7. Raised By Wolves
8. Until the End of the World
9. Get Out of Your Own Way
10. All I Want Is You [could rotate with Love Rescue Me]
11. Where the Streets Have No Name
12. I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For [could rotate with other TJT tracks]
13. With Or Without You [could rotate with other TJT tracks]
14. Red Hill Mining Town [could rotate with other TJT tracks]
15. Exit
16. Every Breaking Wave [preferably full band electric; could rotate with The Troubles]
[potential rotation slot here]
17. Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
18. Desire [could rotate with When Love Comes To Town, Angel of Harlem, God Part II, or have one of those in a rotation slot following]
19. Vertigo
20. Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses [could rotate with Acrobat]
21. One
22. The Little Things That Give You Away
23. I Will Follow [could rotate with Out of Control or "40"]
I'm not wholly sold on the encore order... Wild Horses could be ahead of Vertigo or after One as well, or could open the encore, though that might curtail that brilliant outro from 2018.
That set would give you plenty of TJT tracks with both classics and rarities, the potential for a Lovetown nod here or there (like AIWIY into Streets), and decent representation of some of the key elements from the two newest albums (though I wonder how the Innocence Suite would play out without the barricage..?). Throw Magnificent in as a nice nod to 10 years since NLOTH, I think it'd be brilliant after The Blackout. Sets of around 22-24 songs are pretty reasonable, though I think the days of 25-26 with any kind of regularity are probably done.
