weekend of 4th/5th July

[hedge]

what are u2 up to on this weekend?
what pressing engagement is keeping them from playing another couple of shows?

were they waiting for the 2nd Barcelona show to sell out before announcing Madrid or Seville or Bilbao?

why leave such a gap on a tour that must be costing $$$$$ to drag around?

Maybe they want to pop fireworks with the rest of the US??

They are coming to my bbq

Maybe they have a prior engagement tht weekend

I would say 4 days to analyse how the first couple of shows went and time to rejig or rectify any problems with the stage, sound etc. Also rehearsal time as they always play around with setlists at the start of a tour........

Maybe they need that time to make sure the crew can set up in Italy. Or the show after that if they are leapfrogging 2 steel sets.

Time for analysis, reading reviews, rearranging things, more rehearsals. Maybe Bono has some political engagement. There were never plans to schedule more shows in different cities than those already announced.

Obviously they will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the song "4th of July".
