Exactly. It could be the Jonas Brothers for all we know. But this is where the speculation has come from.

Wouldn't the normal response of a 'band spokesperson' to such questions be silence rather than denial? Nothing to be concerned about here.
Thinking of Today's target audience (I think they broke the news about the latest Fleetwood Mac tour, for example), I really can't think of which other bands it could be.

It's Richard Wilkins. This is an EXTREMELY on brand way for him to describe U2. The man is a joke, but keeps swanning around as if he is the most esteemed music journalist.
Anyway, it may or may not be U2, but it's definitely the way Wilkins would describe them if it is.
Ha, yeah, this is another reason it won't be a young band. Whoever it is will presumably be at least from the nineties if not older.

Americans, man.
This is on a morning show hosted by boomers and watched by boomers. It can only be one of the artists already mentioned.

Right, the gall of us not to know the demographic of the audience of a morning TV show in a fictional land half way around the world and instead interpret "hottest" to mean "hottest".

Wasn't the infamous "poo flip" clip courtesy of some Australian guys?
That pretty much sums it up.

History does not support my view being naive.
By this logic, The Fly would've been a lock on Popmart.
Discotheque would've been an Elevation staple, not played sporadically on that tour.
Walk On would've been played far more than a handful of times on Vertigo.
Sometimes you cant make it on your own, a number 1 single in many countries and a grammy winner for song of the year, would've been played on 360.
Get on your boots and Magnificent wouldn't have been ignored and played once respectively on I&E.
Hell, Every breaking wave and Miracle wouldn't have sat out E&I entirely.
The list goes on and on and on and I don't see what is so naive about it.
Neither Best Thing nor Get out of your own way were as successful as the songs mentioned above. Neither were anything to write home about live. As for American Soul, it was already dropped for the European leg of E&I.
Also, Every breaking wave and Love is bigger were arguably the songs that made the biggest splashes on their respective albums and I have both in my list.
Now, I realize that this tour, if it happens, is likely to be something a little different for U2 (though not entirely without precedent) in terms of what it is promoting. However, that argues even more against them thinking that singles from the most recent album are a must to include in the setlist. If we go on the educated assumption that they're going to be giving a taste of the last 3 tours while paying homage to the adored Lovetown era, they are going to lean more heavily on JT/LT and hits than SOE. JT will not get less than 6 songs.

What in the name of Paul Hogan are you talking about?
All of your examples are about tours in the next album cycle. They are still in the Songs of Experience album cycle.

Looks like it could be Queen.
I’ve always wanted to see Freddie live in concert!

The big announcement tomorrow is Queen for Australia. Apparently LiveNation put off U2’s announcement to make room for Queen and Metallica’s additional shows to go on sale this week. U2songs says U2’s announcement will be later this month. Make what you will of that, but those guys usually have good info. They were the first place to mention the December 1st release date of SOE, for example. And they leaked out a lot of the 2018 tour dates before they were announced.

Siiiigh.
No, they're not.......
That's why we've been discussing and debating what the tour will promote for a number of months now.
Of course nothing has been announced, but there's absolutely no information out there that suggests they're continuing the SOE cycle. Everything out there suggests otherwise.
Either way, your point is, what, exactly??
Were they not in the Vertigo cycle for the Australia 2006 shows when they cut way down on HTDAAB?
Were they not in the NLOTH cycle for the 360 2011 shows when they cut way down on NLOTH?

Yeah I don’t think anybody would’ve guessed that was who they were referring to.
Yes. I actually print out posts where I'm right and others are wrong and hang them on the wall of my bedroom at my parent's house, where I still live and spend most of my time.
I didn't even realize it was you who originally said there was no other band they could be talking about. It was a general consensus here that it absolutely has to be U2 and anyone who thinks otherwise simply doesn't understand how Australian DJs speak, or something.
I truly hope the band goes to Australia. It's overdue. But perhaps everyone should maybe chill out until there's even a hint of an official word from the band or their management.
Can we even fight at a queen show?
You're stone cold crazy
Every comment I saw about Richard Wilkins on here rightly identified him as a flog. The two bits of valuable info were the audience who watches these morning shows (olds), which in turn indicated the announcement would be for an older band popular enough to play arenas or stadiums. When you take out bands in this category that had been here recently or have shows coming up, there weren't many names remaining apart from U2. Nobody in Australia would reasonably expect an overseas arena/stadium act to announce a new tour so soon after their last one.
I can't speak for others, but I've seen enough U2 rumours in my life to never get too excited about anything until it's 100% confirmed, but this is a speculation thread so we've gotta talk about something or
