Way too many 'meh' artists for my liking. As impossible as it seems, the line-ups for this might be worse than those for the LiveEarth concerts.

So, a stack of big artists have been "invited". Hell, even I could issue a press release saying that I'm going to host Axver's Rockin' Gig and I have extended official invitations requesting the participation of U2, Pink Floyd, The Police, Genesis, and The Rolling Stones.

I'm skeptical this will even happen, or if it does, whether it will occur on any notable scale. Maybe a handful of artists desperate for a pay cheque will turn up to remind the world they aren't dead yet.
 
too many big events...


Live Earth and this...


is like the 80's all over again :S

not that the 80s didn't rocked :wink:

this lineup is waaaaaay better than the live earth, I was planning on flying to london and there wasn't one single artist that made me want to make the trip all the way over there eventhough there's some favorites of mine like damien rice and snowpatrol.

this one includes a lot of "big groups" not that most of them will perform anyway...and it's really odd that no new groups are being invited...

This rumour has been around for some time. They are just throwing names around, hoping to really get some of these people to perform at their event, but to me it does not sound like something U2 would do, so I very much doubt it.

If that tidbit is indeed true, I'll give you a backstage pass.* :up:

*Backstage pass does not allow any access to Larry Mullen. All attempts to talk to Larry Mullen will result in the passholder being attacked by stampedes of midget elephants.

Yay!

That Auckland show just gets cooler and cooler. A strong case for a time machine methinks. :drool:

Even stronger Auckland cases for a time machine:

http://www.u2-vertigo-tour.com/show884.html

The second one has Gloria, One Tree Hill, and God Part II all in the main set. Hell yeah! :drool:

The GA line forms on the back porch beside the recycling bins?

Correction: by the barbecue, so that everyone can partake in the free sausage sizzle.

People trying to enter without a valid ticket will be dumped in the recycling bin and sent to the recycling plant to be turned into plastic cups. :yes:
