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.

Songs 4-8. Brutal.

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.

Originally posted by deanallison:Here’s one of my part prediction part wishful thinking setlists quite an equal balance of the two though I feel.

1. Out of control (40 years since they released out of control on the u2 3 ep)
2. Beautiful Day
3. Lights Of Home
4. I still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
5. All I want Is You
6. Pride
7. Every Breaking Wave
8. Until The End Of The World
9. Mysterious Ways
10. Stay
11. Red Hill Mining Town
12. One Tree Hill
13. Exit
14. Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
15. One

Encore
16. Where The Streets Have No Name
17. Zoo Station
18. The Fly
19. With Or Without You
20. Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
21. 40

Looks quite realistic and a return for EBW would be really nice, but no way they're gonna leave out Elevation

Imagine the EU/North Americans flying all that way to hear those songs again.

Obviously it'll would be new to 99% of people.

U2 Confessional.

It has been since Perth December 19 2010 since my last gig in Australia.

Result: 3024 days
It is 3024 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date.

Or 8 years, 3 months, 12 days excluding the end date.

Or 99 months, 12 days excluding
