U2 Can Get the New Album in November
Ed. Note - An Interference reader has posted the following story as it appeared in the June 5th edition of the Irish Post
THE next U2 album will be released this year, according to the band's manager Paul McGuinness. He said the eagerly-awaited follow-up to All That You Can't Leave Behind will hit the shops in November. But he played down speculation that the band would embark on another huge stadium world tour.
He said: "In the case of U2, it's more a function of what kind of music they want to do, rather than what kind of box-office gross they want to achieve. "Certainly playing indoors is much easier, and the logistics are much more controlled. "If you're going to take the audience to a big outdoor event, you'd really have to be doing something very, very good, and we would take that responsibility very seriously. "If we decide to go outdoors, it will be because it's worth doing something on a grand scale."

My take is the opposite. After the last tour, which was hugely successful and a return to basics, I would imagine U2's inclination is to keep it simple and keep it indoors. It carries less baggage, both figuratively and literally; you're not leaving yourself open to criticism from the purists who despise stadiums; the sound is better, the rapport is better, the cost is better...and, as Paul says, it's just easier.
