No way will they not play Pride, ISHF was dropped from some of the IE shows, but it will be at least semi- regular. Would imagine that BTBS will get rested next tour
Of the ones I listed, I think Pride is the least likely to get dropped, but it did miss a bunch of Elevation tour shows.

It'll be interesting to see what deeper JT songs, if any, they keep. A rotating slot of Exit/RHMT/IGC/etc. could be cool.

Missed a few of the early 360 shows too. Bullet missed that whole tour.

It wasn't that humid
No, they played Pride five times in Australia/NZ in 2010, once per city.
With regards to JT warhorses, let's not forget ISHFWILF missed the first two legs of Elevation (except one show) and took a while to become a regular on Vertigo. The band have definitely viewed it as droppable in the past.

I'd say if by some miracle they hit aus/nz/Asia first, we will see a JT mini set of some of the rarer songs. Maybe play 2 of RHMT, IGC, Exit, OTH each night

Pride seems like the top candidate to get a break since it's missed shows on 2 out of the last 5 tours. For other songs, I'm thinking WOWY and ISHF will be played frequently but not nightly. Otherwise, drawing a blank. The SBS revamp on IE made me think it would get a break, but I'm less certain since it's been opening JT shows.
Of all the revived JT songs, I think Exit has the best chance of sticking around.

Exit. I think that may be the new warhorse, or just a horse in this case
I think with or without you and streets will be the only safe two from the Joshua tree. Still haven't found has been dropped numerous times in the past so I think that will go. Not sure on the pre Joshua tree stuff bad and New Year's Day are never a safe bet on any u2 apart from the current tour.

Come on people, to the beach!!
I think Bullet will return, with a new spoken word section to reflect what's going on in the world.
I'd like to see a super intense Exit into Bullet. Just get dark and loud for a while.

it was very fucking humid. I think we each drank 8 bottles of water while waiting in line that day. When we got back home to the lovely 115 degrees F that awaited us here, we noted that it felt much more comfortable than the mid 90's we experienced in Nashville. That's because of the humidity...duh!

Fun fact: I did this at a gig I played in June. It's fucking fun to perform.

Pride will not get a break. It's too relevant right now.

With or Without You is the most beloved and known song to the casual U2 fans. So it will also not get a break.
One got a half a break last time... so it's entirely possible that wowy gets a break.
The only song that I'd say is a near lock is Streets, although if ever there was a tour where they could convince themselves to give it a rest it would be this one.

Wasn't WOWY absent from a post-2000 tour for an extended time, or am I crazy?
Axver?
Axver?
It has been part of every tour since it debuted.

No, WOWY was at every 360 show.
It missed a lot of Vertigo's first leg.

End of Elevation and the beginning of Vertigo. Third leg of elevation had 30 shows and WOWY was only in 3. First leg of Vertigo had 28 shows and it was only in 5.

After One missed shows on IE, no one is safe.

here's a copy/paste from U2Songs.. all songs where we've had some descriptions.. (save Best Thing, Little Things, etc)
Other titles mentioned recently expected to be in contention for the album:
“The Showman” (Mentioned in MOJO Magazine, February 2017 where Bono calls it his favorite, and says it is about singers, “The showman gives you front row to his heart, The shaman prays that his heartache will chart”). Bono mentioned the song again during the Zane Lowe interview.
“Tightrope” (Mentioned in Entertainment Weekly, Oct. 2015, “It’s very epic. It’s very up. And, you know, that’s probably what the experience has taught us: to be fully in the moment and that fun is respected, and joy is not to be let go of.”)
“Landlady” (Mentioned in Q Magazine, Feb. 2016)
“Much More Better” (Mentioned in Q Magazine, Feb. 2016, “deeply personal acoustic demo about Bono’s recovery from his bike accident.”)
“Summer of Love”(Mentioned in MOJO Magazine, February 2017 where Bono says the song is “achingly beautiful and empty. It could be a big song and it’s tiny. These are real tunes.”)
“Get Out of Your Own Way” (Mentioned in Q Magazine, Feb. 2016 and by the Globe and Mail in May 2015 where reporter Marsha Lederman states, “They were talking about getting of your own way, not to fight with yourself, in striving to perform at the top of your game.”)
“Civilisation” (Mentioned in Q Magazine, Feb. 2016, “sounded like a surefire album opener. Bono described Larry Mullen’s colossal drum roll in the middle of the song as ‘my favorite bit on a U2 album in years.’”)
“The Morning After Innocence” (Discussed on BBC Radio on October 16, 2014, “You never could write so well or do anything you were told on 10 Cedarwood Road, I’m your older self, the song of experience, I’ve come to ask for some help from your song of innocence.”)
“Instrument Flying” (Mentioned in Q Magazine, Feb. 2016, “had a sleek, motorik quality.”)
“Love is All We Have Left” (Small bit of audio leaked on Instagram in September 2016)
