shit! i really hope this isnt true - i cant afford to go to America to see them
right. but this is a fan saying that larry's sister said this. i could say i had an exclusive interview for my college with u2 and paul mcG, does that mean it's true?
With:
Vertigo tour in such high demand
Rolling Stones finishing their Bigger Bang Tour and Coldplay trying to mark their territory
U2 being U2 (so big)
you better believe there will be a world tour. I expect nothing but a grand scale (see ZooTV, Popmart) this time around. The last 2 tours have put U2 in such a position.
Yeah I think the problem is that even though there are lots of rock music fans over there and U2 fans as well, the majority is still only interested in local music, mostly film/bollywood or other regional film music. So there probably is not enough market for a sold out stadium/arena show. That's my guess.
Who were you talking about by the way? The growing middle class that is currently here in the US?
Not wanting to sound like an a#$hole but surely if they can work a 9-12 month US and Europe touring schedule around Edge's daughter's illness then they can add in an extra 3-4 months for the rest of the world?
The Vertigo shows in Sydney drew a combined audience of approx 220,000 people and that made it one of the biggest stops on the whole tour. That has to count for something.
Also the US dollar is very weak thesedays, almost at parity with the Australian dollar, so the old argument about touring Australia costing too much is gone thesedays.
I hope U2 decide to play at least one leg of America in stadiums. It's been 10 years (excluding Hawaii) that U2 have played stadiums in America and I think they would be able to sell a large amount of tickets. Maybe they can do stadium/arena shows in major cities, such as New York and L.A., and then play arena shows in other parts of the U.S.

They should release it on the day of the U.S. presidential election... isn't that a Tuesday (also an album release day)? Just seems like a cool thing to do -- a historic day!
i hate to sound negative, but i have a feeling that this will probably be true. it gives me no pleasure because the best shows of vertigo imo were outside of the us/europe...
Anyone know/recall why Elevation wasn't a world tour?
I'm drawing a blank
