Probably easier to post it here now that the tour subforum was moved farther down.

The @U2 Interview: Willie Williams Discusses the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour (Part 1)

Because not everyone might be in the tour forums, here come the rumours

Holy shit if they play Hanoi you bet I'm trying to get tickets for that.

Thanks for that , great updates. Seems like the end of year tour could very well happen. Hopefully it does, wouldn’t want them to have to much time off [emoji2]

Joshua tree release first quarter , E & I release 2nd quarter according to that then. Looking forward to it

So this is going to be Lovetown 30, right? I mean, 2019 is the 30th anniversary, that U2songs article specifically says the proposed late 2019 tour won't be an extension of E+I and that a new stage is being designed, the tour is only going to be for Australasia and southeastern Asia, much like the first leg of Lovetown. It makes too much sense for it not to be Lovetown 30.

It definitely points towards that don’t it

Thank you prb15 & U2girl. Don't always have to check all the threads I'd want to in a visit.

Good luck to everyone in Australia & New Zealand for next year!

Definitely looking forward to the JT30 & E&I DVDs!

Hooo boy this is rousing me nether regions.

 

[cobl04]

Lovetown 30 would also be really smart because Rattle & Hum is fucking massive down here. People froffed that shit.

Rattle And Hum is, in fact, U2's biggest selling album here in Australia (8xP)

 

[lazarus]

They’re not going to ignore the two new albums they’ve released since their last time there in favor of resurrecting a tour for an album they haven’t even re-released, but keep dreaming.

If you get a couple JT deep cuts in the second half of the show you’ll be lucky.

The article specifically said it would not be a continuation of E+I. Seems like if they were going to keep push SOI/SOE, then it would be a continuation of E+I.

I wouldn't count it out.

 

[Axver]

They'll do a nod to Lovetown with a mid-show acoustic set of Angel of Harlem and Desire, and a surprise Love Rescue Me at one (1) Brisbane show.

Hawkmoon 269 will be soundchecked every night complete with slide solo but not played until their Henry Kissinger Memorial Gig in Cambodia.

 

[Kieran McConville]

God Part II (acoustic)

 

[dan_smee]

This is surely going to be a highlights reel of the last four years. Innocence through the Joshua Tree to Experience.

Do you have dyslexia or something?

Maybe they don't want to haul that giant screen over there, who knows?

It's going to be a mix, obviously. But I'd find it very, very hard to believe that those shows aren't going to have at least 10 tracks from the last two albums.

Theoretically they could do a suite of recent songs, have an intermission, and then play JT straight through. But I don't think that would flow too well.

God Part II (acoustic)

God Part XIII (There Is A Light)

Spoiler

acoustic

God Part XIII (There Is A Light)

This is a song, a song for Goldman.

"70 years without war in Europe that we all take completely for granted."

Willie needs a history lesson.

 

[cobl04]

England doesn't count mate. This is a Western-centric world we live in.

 

[djerdap]

Or a geography lesson. Or a trip down memory lane (hell, he was the production designer for that particular ZooTV Tour which featured satellite link-ups from this very city):

Spoiler

Yeah, I know he's talking afterwards about cities and countries where E/I tour had taken place, but still - a very silly statement to make. And this is just one war out of four which happened in that region - in the middle of Europe - in the 1990s.

Plus the civil war in Greece after WW2, and the Nagorno-Karabakh (Armenia/Azerbaijan) war if one would include this border region in Europe... And so on.

What was going on in Ulster looked like a war from where I was sitting as well.
