[edgeentertainer]

Just curious to know if anyone can remember which hotels u2 stayed in Australia for the Popmart tour, or has any idea where they might be staying this time. My kids would love to get an autograph or photo.

thanks in advance

In 1989 they stayed at the ANA (I think)

one thing you need to learn about this place....you never get a straight answer!!

I'll give Mr Serious the proper answer...

Quay West for both Zoo and Pop, which is right next door to the ANA (now called the Shangri-La).

They seem to like The Rocks.

they stayed in coolum on the sunnie coast last time they came to brisbane in 1998. wouldnt be suprised if they just fly in and out on the day of the show though. seems to be the way these days. i'd like them to stay here tho! brisbane is a different city from when they last stayed here in 1993.

also, i really want to stalk them!

hey Bono man- do you want to stalk them with me- send me an e-mail

I plan on meeting the guys this time and from memory, they usualy stay at the Beaufort Heritage in Brisbane and usually spend a bit of time before hand at the Hyatt Coolum

They stayed at the Hyatt hotel during their 1993 Adelaide Zoo Tv concert. I know because somebody I know was standing in the elevator, and looked to her right, and saw who else but Bono! She got the shock of her life.

They're staying at my house ... and none of you can come and visit

the hyatt coolum..... i live 15 mins from there...

Quay West for both Zoo and Pop

Also, the Australian cricket team stays there when in town.

Bono, outside his Sydney Hotel during Zoo, (Sunday Telegraph 28 November 1993).

Hey I was there! Well to be accurate I was on the edge of the very large group and I have a lovely picture of the top of Bono's head.

Actually Bono looks that pissed off cos as soon as he stepped out of the hotel everyone rushed him and screamed their lungs out. I was ready to slap them all with my copy of "The U2 File" (which I never got autographed )

Happily I did see the band the morning they left Sydney and I got a wave from Bono as the car sped out of the hotel. You take what you can get!

 

[Earnie Shavers]

I saw Bono purely by accident after the Popmart show. Blind drunk, leaving the Slip Inn. Bono that is. I was blind drunk entering the Slip Inn.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

If you were both blind drunk, how do you know it was Bono and not Elvis???? And for that matter, how do you know it was you anyway???????

 

[timothius]

But did the two members who have been here sicne PopMart stay there?

And who were they?

 

[timothius]

Also, the Australian cricket team stays there when in town.

I think a few of the Aussie players are fans too, but they will be long gone in South Africa when the tour rolls round.

I know for sure there are a lot of NZ'ers who are big fans and I'm sure any injuries that prevent Messers McCullum, Vincent, Oram and Franklin from playing in the 17-21 March Test vs West Indies @ Wellington will have a silver lining.

 

[edgeentertainer]

So maybe the Hyatt in Melbourne too?

Randomly, I had my Year 12 formal (also known as 'prom' for the Americans) at the Shangri-La. It's really pretty.
