Anyone know where the band is rehearsing

[redhill]

for the 2nd leg and/or where they will be staying?

Would love to hear any reports!

 

[VertigoGal]

i think i read in someone's review of the show on the 28th that Bono said he was headed off to the south of France for a week. if anyone could confirm that though....

 

[Bono's Tart]

I think thats right for a few days anyway.

[redkat]

I'm so sad he's no longer in the country

From what I heard about them flying in and out so much, they were hardly here anyways!

Cabo, Vancouver, Bahamas, Etc.

Life is nicer with an airbus.

 

[Westport]

Maybe we could all pitch in so that Bono could buy himself a new shirt.

 

[Chizip]

what is he doing hanging out with sinead o'connor?

well if you can wear it to the white house why not Hauge?

 

[VertigoGal]

ah- the purple shirt strikes again!

at least he's not wearing the horrible green hat...

okay, I know I spend to much time here if I'm familiar with Bono's flippin wardrobe! lol

 

[madonna's child]

Hey, Bono wears purple well. I encourage it.

[OffAxis]

The green hat has run it's course. It needs to be retired with the UF mullet cut.

 

[bono_man2002]

Hasnt been in our country for about 8 years....thats something to be sad about

 

[Lila64]

just how many purple shirts does he own? I hope it's more than one!

 

[greety]

Better yet; what did he get Anton for his birthday

 

[Zoovation]

There will be rehearsals on Tuesday (7.6) and Thursday (9.6) in Brussels with the new stage. Before that, it's possible that U2 will rehearse in Werchter (Belgium).

 

[redhill]

Thanks for the info Zoovation.

How do you know this? Just curious as I have not seen it mentioned anywhere!

Thanks

 

[U2Girl1978]

what is he doing hanging out with sinead o'connor?

He used to hang out with her.

BTW, he is really staying at my place. I've hidden him.

 

[Zoovation]

I got this information from a person who's involved in the organistaion for the security for the concert in Brussels. They had a reunion and spoke about the dates of the rehearsals.

I think that the stage will be very big because they closed several ways to the stadium because they are setting up the stage at the moment.

 

[Westport]

Ok...I give up....where do I get one of those purple shirts?


Purple is the new blue.

[the soul waits]

I wonder who does his laundry ....

 

[redhill]

Zoovation - thanks again and...

is there any way I can email you in regards to this?

Please leave your email or email me at scottj@hotpop.com.

It would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

Bono was in Rome on Tuesday during the Live 8 Press Conference at least.

He was supposed to say a few words via telephone but I think they were having technical issues of some sort on the feeds that I managed to see before they got cut, so whether he actually did get through in the end or not I don't know. On a sidenote, it was great to see Bob Geldof saying the 'F' word with such conviction again on the BBC at 2.30 in the afternoon A very powerful word when used in the right context by the right person

If you head over to www.u2log.com there were a few pics posted there a couple of hours ago in their 'Flickr Pool' of what appears to be initial stage construction taking place in Brussels. I think the crew have to rehearse stage con/deconstruction for a couple of days before the band start their own rehearsals.
