Y'know maybe there will be nothing on the stage other than the instruments....
and U2, of course.
Now that WOULD be radical

Well, if they did play arenas in NA, then they could just rig it all to the roof. I used to work in IATSE and it can be done. Well, depending on the venue.

Yeah but the fact that Lanois mentions that there will be no pillars automatically suggests that he's talking about a stadium show. I think the US will be getting it as well...

He said one side will be favored but the "artillery and pillars" are out of the line of sight.

in the round like "Row Row Row Your Boat"? 
hmmm well they'll need something pretty amazing for the stadiums in that case- it's easily enough done in an arena but difficult to see how they could do something like this at a place the size of Croke Park- they can hardly put great big girders from one side of the stadium roof to the other
still it should ease the gold circle pressure because you'll be close to the stage anyway

When I think of a round stage, I always think of Peter Gabriel's Secret World tour and the stage for the second part of the show. This should interesting.

I honestly can't imagine how they are going to manage to get "...all the artillery...out of the sight line" in a stadium setting.
All I can think is that they could try hanging everything from wires supported on the stadium structures themselves.
But surely every date would have to have a different version of the solution depending on the structure of the stadium... it'd never work!!
intriguing!

It's going to be a giant Lazy Susan that spins faster and faster until they are thrown into the audience at the end

Is a Lazy Susan what we'd call a "roundabout" by any chance!? If so I'm laughing at the image that it conjures up!

it worked for def leppard............not feeling the stadium thing.......much prefer arenas
That's my guess. If you have a few hubs set around the stadium & use those to direct the sound wherever you want, you probably don't need massive speakers anywhere.
I'm also one to prefer arenas. Being in the round in a stadium kind of makes it like a Super Bowl performance, though, doesn't it?
It'll be interesting to see what they do for decorations, etc.
