Also - brace for more controversy...

lol see a doctor asap bro, it shouldn't be physically possible for a human being to stretch this far.

LOL see a comedian asap bro, it shouldn't be that hard for even a mildly intelligent person to recognize sarcasm...

Then you will be our guiding light upto concert day. If we require any enquiry, then we will ask you (if you don’t mind). My e-mail is :
hasinrhmn@yahoo.com

Sure you can PM or just post in here. I'm sure I'll be checking this very often once the tour starts.

Just got tickets to both Singapore nights. With the stage setup it looks like GA will be decent everywhere.

I'm glad it's in Sydney and $99 so I'm not tempted to go

Man that would be nerdy.

 

[AndrewCowley]

Is this tour still happening?

 

[prbiker15]

Oh wow, this is already starting next week.
Looks like they should be arriving any day now:

There are some $66 tickets for Perth again. Too bad flights are so expensive.

 

[zoocarolina]

Is there going to be a new section/thread for the TJT Tour 2019 in general plus city set lists? I saw somewhere on the net today that instrumentals were played for some of the songs that were played in 2017? Asking bc I just don’t see it where I thought it would be, thx!

 

[kabigon]

I was hoping a mod would have organised this a while ago, unfortunately Interference isn't anywhere nearly as active as it it was 10-15 years ago and this extends to the (re)organisation of its (sub)forums. For now I'm lurking elsewhere but hope we can get a little more discussion here when the tour starts.

 

[AndrewCowley]

Or maybe there is just no interest in this hangover of a tour. A single thread for the set list parties should suffice.

 

[prbiker15]

^^ Yep, one thread should be enough.

 

[zoocarolina]

Sounds good and this thread may be it for everything like you guys said. U2songs has been my go to site for news on the tour so far and based on the rehearsals so far, looks like they may dust off a bit from the SOI era to play in 2019 which makes sense. Also play a little SOE so overall this will be a good wrap up tour for the last 5 years of activity before starting on more recording next year for what’s next hopefully.

Was really hoping they’d shake up the encore for these shows. Alas it appears not.

 

[superchuk5]

Looking like it isn't the same as the 2017 show (even if the not-new stuff is recycled from I+e/e+i), which is nice.

Yes - reports from today are more encouraging than yesterday. Not the ones I’d have chosen, but then I don’t have a band doing a stadium tour.

Ugh. Paywall. I’m not giving those fascist cunts my money. What does it say?

But...but...WHAT ABOUT LOVETOWN??

Slow acoustic Best Thing will segue into... slow acoustic God Pt II.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

But...but...WHAT ABOUT LOVETOWN??

Clearly U2 didn't see the posts about how they'll absolutely play a lot of rattle and hum this time because they love it down there and you stupid americans simply don't understand mannnnnnn

 

[superchuk5]

But...but...WHAT ABOUT LOVETOWN??

As much as I'd love a Lovetown 30, considering the tour is billed as Joshua Tree 2019 my expectations are very low. I'll take any deviation from the 2017 show.

Not that the 2017 show is bad, but it would just be boring from my viewing perch thousands of miles away.

It's an interview with Noel Gallagher looking forward to supporting U2,and how they have become good friends.
