hmmm

 

[Katiesheb]

Really? I better turn the radio on and stay home this afternoon!

 

[U2Mama]

that is interesting! Can't wait to hear what it is!

 

[Billy Rotten]

So, no news? There's no update on u2.com's tour listing either.

 

[romi]

I doubt the announcement would have been the new dates. Maybe just a reassuarnce that U2 will be coming abck to Montreal.

so anyone wanna call that bar and see if they take reservations?

 

[Drea]

I'll be in Montreal with 3 other U2 fans - put us down as maybes for Hurley's (leaning towards going, but only three of us are online right now). If Kristen's going I'll just look for her *G*

 

[romi]

Hurley's at 11:15 p.m. Saturday (1225 Crescent St.)
Romi + wife
U2Mama + U2Daddy
Guinness Stout + wife and 6 others
konakitty + 1

Maybe:
Drea + 3

we are up to 14 just like that. can a local see if they by chance take reservations?

There's two floors, not sure if you'll need a reservation or not, but here's the website with numbers to call for reservations the day of or more than 24 hours advance notice:

:: Hurley's Irish Pub - Montreal's Premiere Irish Pub

I didn't know you were still going

 

[U2Mama]

I'm sad that the concerts aren't happening but I'm looking forward to our little meet-up! I went to a Bon Jovi concert last night which was fun, but just not the same! Their fans are a wee bit different U2's

was that the concert where he tore a leg muscle?

 

[U2Mama]

No, I think that was at the Meadowlands...this one was at SPAC. He did say it was bothering him and he wasn't going to be able to do a whole lot of dancing...then asked if there was a Dr. in the house and went into "Bad Medicine"

 

[HBK-79]

Their fans are a wee bit different U2's

Just exactly how different are Bon Jovi fans compared to U2 fans?

Let me guess...They all have big hair.

you win! BIG hair, a few mullets, lots of very overdressed over 35 year olds, and a lot of acid wash jeans! The people watching was half the fun!

Just got that e-mail!!!

evenko and Live Nation are pleased to announce the new concert dates of the U2 360° Tour in Montreal: the band will stop at the Hippodrome de Montreal on Friday, July 8 and Saturday, July 9, 2011.

Live Nation Entertainment announced today that the U2 360° tour dates in the US, which were recently postponed due to Bono’s emergency back surgery, have all been rescheduled for Spring/Summer 2011 with all tickets being valid at the rescheduled performances.

The 2010 European tour, which has not been affected, begins as scheduled on August 6th in Turin.

U2’s manager Paul McGuinness thanked fans for their ongoing support, “We’re delighted the dates are rescheduled and in all the same venues we originally planned to play. It hasn't been easy to accomplish this and I'd like to thank the managers of the many venues and sports teams across North America and Live Nation Global Touring for their help and cooperation in making this complex new plan possible. Above all we want to thank the U2 fans for bearing with us. They’re the best and the band wants to get back to where they belong, surrounded by their audience.”

 

[U2Mama]

Me Too!!! I was just about to post it!

 

[romi]

woohooo! just got the email as im sitting on plane to montreal!

 

[guinevere77]

Eek! Just got the email as well. Nice to know when I'll be heading back to Montreal!

 

[kramwest1]

Awesome that it's a Friday and Saturday show again!!!

I think I'll be able to make it.

 

[Spoutnik]

This is great, because,those dates falls on the last weekend of the Jazz festival.

Big weekend for the tourists and music lovers.

 

[U2Mama]

Are we still on for Saturday night at Hurley's? We have something to celebrate now!

 

[Spoutnik]

Sorry,the jazz fest is from June 25th to July 4th 2011

 

[kramwest1]

I should be able to make all of my rescheduled dates next summer, including Montreal!!!

Have a blast this weekend you guys!!!

 

[Spoutnik]

I think they wanted to keep the Montreral shows on a weekend.I'm sure Evenko told live nation that they have sold lots of tickets for fans outside the city and the province.

 

[Spoutnik]

Interpol listed on U2.COM as opening act for Montreal and Minneapolis

 

[Pop Artist]

I'm trying to buy tix for these shows right now at evenko, I'm in the "waiting room" but nothing seems to be happening, is this normal?

 

[Honey_child]

YES! I'm sad I won't be able to go to the New Jersey show but I'll dry my tears by seeing them in Minneapolis two weeks later
