u2 at the O2

[abombdismantler]

Was reported in the LONDON LITE that U2 are in talks to play a " residency " at the O2 in London next year . AEG who works with U2 and run the O2 are quoted as saying " we are working on having them for multiple nights in 2008 " Prince performed for 21 sell out nights and it is hoped Bono and the band will play a similar stint .

It comes as the O2 revealed that U2 will host "multiple" nights there next year

Interesting.

why o2, why not the new wembley stadium ? or better still my back garden ?

if, and it's a huge if, this is true then we could be looking at a very different style of touring for u2 where they travel less. It could also mean that we get very different sets every night.



But i'm very very sceptical!

No way they do more than 5 nights in one place.

I would be very surprised if they set up tent for more than 6 or 7 shows. They've always seemed too restless, lets-go-everywhere in their touring phases.

Of course, never say never.

Hmmmm, maybe they'll do a small residency, like Smashing Pumpkins did at San Francisco's Fillmore, about 8 -10 shows I think.

don't believe a word of it..

U2 has never done that many shows at one venue.. I just don't see it.. nor do I see them doing this next year either..

Lots of promoters throw U2's name around to get publicity for their shows.
