Oh please I hope that's not true. If so, I'll be buying more beer than expected to get through Oasis

I've dug this topic up because I read a rumor on another site (velvet rope) that has me frightened and I need soothing...
The rumor is one of the bands opening for U2 on some shows of the 3rd leg is Sugar Ray in support of a greatest hits album.
Something about distant relations and favors to band members...
Holy cripes, please, someone tell me it isn't so...
Lie to me if you have to...

Oasis? Aren't they doing their own headlining tour in the fall in the USA? It seems very un-Oasis to open for anybody...
My personal selection would be the Arcade Fire. That would be spec-fuckin-tacular.

Oasis is headlining their own concert in June and September in North America, including a stop at MSG in June. http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/766720
Still, after what U2dork just said, I never thought I'd actually be praying for Liam and the boys. Surely McGrath can't get out of his Extra correspondent duties?

Dork -- I saw that too on Velvet Rope. On one hand, they can't be serious. On the other, the Rope is packed with industry insiders.
I would love Franz -- great live band. Anyone see the Killers live before? They looked a little blah when they did Saturday Night Live -- didn't know if that's normal for them.

I've heard that the Killers are a good live band, but you're right, Flowers was off key on SNL.

Having listened to the Killers now in the last month quite a bit...I really hope they follow U2 across the pond for the third leg.

rumors have it that it will be the Scott Stapp solo project.

Honestly, don't even joke. There aren't many openers that would actually "take away" from the main act...but I think this would be one of them. Ugh.
On the other end of the spectrum, any of the Montreal bands would be an awesome opener.
-Arcade Fire
-Stars
-Broken Social Scene (saw them this past Sun in TO, AMAZING)
-Metric
-Captured by Robots (okay, maybe not this guy....but if you ever have opportunity to see him, it will definitely blow your mind)

god, if The Killers opened for the third leg, I'd honestly be ashamed of how excited I'd be, since I'm going to see U2...

All these bands don't really have anything scheduled for the fall
As long as its not like the Rolling Stones who have Black Eye Peas opening a few shows. Whoever thought of this needs to be shot in the leg.

I'm not sure if the Hip opening for U2 in Canada is a good idea, since the Hip are so big up here that it would basically be a double bill. Also, while U2 fans hit a high while watching the concert, let's just say that a lot of Hip fans already arrive high, if you catch my drift.
There's always Oasis again, lol.
