Did he not like MacPhisto?
Me thinks, it would be "change" that Larry shudders at!

Isn't it pretty much the same message, but with less words?

Eh, big deal. Maybe that description gave a little too much away.
Fucking awesome!
Well, it doesn't mention a "meet the band" anymore, and most importantly the explicit mention of 2017 is gone.

As the tour will most likely start in 2017 and end in 2018, doesn't that just make more sense?

I'm going with no. To me the edit is a strong indication that they don't want this contest to be viewed as a 2017 tour confirmation.
Not sure who found version A and version B, but kudos... clearly paying attention.
Love that McPhisto is back; probably gonna give Bono some great new Twitter Hate material to read at some future moment too.

They've already pushed the tour back at least once, so when things are still up in the air it probably makes sense to just not guarantee anything in 2017, even if things are looking good. There's even a chance they just don't want to reveal they're touring next year until they can make an official announcement. I don't think this necessarily means they've written off next year.
Nonetheless, I'm falling into the view of another 4-5 year gap between SoI and whatever is next. I think the window for a quick follow up has gone, they've pushed back the release date repeatedly (last the band said was March/April, now Lillywhite is saying summer) and cycled through producers.
It feels like working and re-working material is a higher priority now than a quick release, and it's that attitude which took them so long to release NLOTH or SoI for example. It's all feeling way too similar to Songs of Ascent for me. I think best case scenario is an album in autumn 2017, but i could easily see the work - separated from SoI and the I&E tour by so much time - morphing into something entirely new and coming out in 2018/2019.

I think the revised post more accurately represents what Bono said to Jimmy.

And exactly which accent do you think he feels the need to be?
I don't know anyone that says "noos".

i wouldn't worry about the wording changing. it still says "dress rehearsal experience," so they'll be rehearsing for something - i.e., tour.

If you go right to the bottom of the Omaze page, there's a section titled "stuff our lawyers want you to read", in which a date of "TBD 2017" is mentioned.
Of course, worst case scenario, they could just arrange a small private performance for the winners even if there is no tour.

Because we need 2017 to be mentioned specifically to know what "dress rehearsal" means ?
