Willie Williams has said they are adding a boxing ring adjacent to the tree stage for the Headache/Axver fight which will take place during Red Hill Mining Town in an effort to distract concertgoers from the awful Edge piano and piped in horns arrangement, and a large cooler for Axver to store his Foster's whilst he gets pummeled.
I can't believe you're taking the side of that scoundrel.
Anyway, if the collective will of Norway can't beat me, good luck Headache, you're gonna need it.
U2songs says 5 cities in Australia, 1 in New Zealand. Routing is being finalized and an announcement is being prepped. Maybe announced next week?
Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth. First time both Adelaide and Perth are done on the same tour since 1989. The only one of these that has any realistic possibility of being different is if they do Wellington instead of Auckland. Christchurch is out of the frame at the moment, and if it's only 1 city then that pretty much rules out Dunedin as they would not play Dunedin without also playing Auckland.
So the plot thickens. For 2 months you’d figure more cities, dates, countries than that.
Countries, maybe. Cities in Australia/New Zealand, nope. They've only ever done five cities in Australia (and most tours have been four, i.e. Adelaide OR Perth). They've done three in New Zealand, but the last time they went beyond Auckland was 1993.
Because people here care even less about the last two albums than Americans and Europeans.
SOI/E might as well not even exist here.
Also it's about time Adelaide got a break, they've earned it *cue Adelaide's show being moved to the Gold Coast for no good reason*
Sport teams go to the Gold Coast to die, so if U2 book a gig at Metricon we know it really is the end for them too.
If they play Adelaide on November 16, it will have been exactly 13 years since their last show in Adelaide in 2006. That show was exactly 13 years to the day since their previous Adelaide show, in 1993. I would have to keep that gimmick going.
I am extremely here for this factlet to come to pass.
