if I were to see Sting, U2 and Coldplay at once i would probably die a happy fan on the grass.

So funny that you chose Jimmy Eat World for the B stage because I think they'd be so great opening for U2.

I'd like U2 to play a smaller, less structured benefit with an ever-changing line-up and a total thrown together jam quality. Maybe like the Universal Ampitheater (dream of dreams to see U2 there anyway), like the type of benefit that is brought together for someone who's sick or passed away and all the performers have the option of playing one song or 10.

My lineup would be only three bands (in this order).....
Coldplay
Oasis
U2

I'd love to see them at Wembley Stadium, with me in the front row of course

The title fo this thread is misleading.

In future, please do not imply things that are actually just hypotheticals.

 

[One Tree Still]

It was intentional, just to get your heart pumping a little bit.

Sorry if I misled you.

Do you have any ideas?
