U2 in Australia - Official Countdown Party

[Guybrush]

WOOOO there are only 41 days until U2 plays in Australia!!!!!!!

feel free to express your excitement in here as we countdown till the greatest band on earth comes to aussie!!!

i am so excited because not only do i get to go to my first U2 concert, i will be seeing them on my 21st Birthday!!! i couldnt believe when they announced the new dates. The only concert i have tickets for was re-scheduled to be played on November the 11th which is my 21st birthday!!! god i cant wait.
im so worried though because my uni exam period doesnt finish until the 14th of november so if i get an exam on the 11th i guess ill just have to miss the exam and redo the subject next year

WOO only 45 days till i get to see U2/my 21st birthday!!

Make up an excuse and get the exam deferred. I'm going to a couple of shows during my uni's exam period, and if any shows clash with exams, I'll just come up with some acceptable-to-the-uni reason why I won't be able to do the exam and it gets postponed to the January supplemental session.

This Sunday bono_man (1st Oct).

If you get it in QBD Books it will cost you $50 instead of $75.

I wonder if they'll do book signings here?

Im also flying to Australia to see 5 of the seven shows.
Can't wait! But its too far away for a countdown... ill start counting when there are 10 days or so left... but great to see the excitement begin to build up...

I wouldn't bet on it, as there are quite a few instances of U2 recording a cover and not playing it live (either much or at all), but it might be a possibility.
