  1. Episode 2 of the U2start podcast. Thank you all for your support and feedback!


    With the 2019 tour happening in a few months and with us travelling to most of the shows, we wanted to find new ways of taking you with us on this journey and the podcast will play a big role in this.

    This is episode two in a smaller series of podcasts that will lead up to the opening night of the tour in Auckland, New Zealand. There, we will talk about the shows, talk with fans, bring you updates from the ground, talk about a variety of topics and also make a lot of fun.

    Your podcast hosts are myself and Joeri. The music is created by LikeASong.

    Episode #2 - Under Australian Skies: U2's History with Australia

    Ethan from South Australia is our guest for this second episode. Ethan, a singer/songwriter himself, has seen all Australian U2 tours since Zoo TV and takes us with him on U2's journey across Australia. We start in 1984 and end in 2019, looking back as well as ahead to what we can expect of U2's 2019 tour and what it will be like for those who will attend these shows.

    You can listen to the podcast on our podcast page, but we are also on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast, Stitcher and TuneIn. Just search for "U2start".

    Let us know what you think! We'll be back next month with episode #3

  2. Great ep! Really enjoying the "agree/disagree" statements at the beginning of the episode. It seems like you're gonna switch them up each episode which is cool!

    You guys should set up a whatsapp group and make a super-U2start-meetup Down Under
  6. Unfortunately for all my interstate shows I'm flying in on the day and out the next morning, plus I'll miss the gathering the night before the tour opener as I dont arrive in Auckland until late. It would be good to connect though.

    I guess Sydney will be the biggest meetup of them all (besides the Auckland party) since it's the biggest city with the cheapest flights from abroad - so you'll be ok

    Back on topic: it's great to have a long-term fan from Australia on our podcasts Well done @EthanD and @Remy, will listen later!
  8. Nooooo! Not an other whatsapp group?
