U2.COM announcing it while talking about the possibility of playing Glastonbury.

 

[romi]

Now they took it off the Baltimore June 22nd mention.

Can you really go from Anaheim to Baltimore in less than 72 hours? Those trucks will get speed tickets if they want to arrive on time.Unless they'll bring the pylon,stage,the screen,catwalk and bridges by plane.

 

[lauramullen]

There are three stages. If it is true, I'm there.

 

[corianderstem]

They have more than one Claw.

(D'oh! Laura beat me to it. )

 

[Spoutnik]

Yes 3 claws.But only 1 pylon,1 stage,1 screen , 2 bridges and 1 catwalk

 

[daygloeyes2]

Way to go, U2.com. Brilliant as usual.

 

[lauramullen]

Another U2.com fail.

Just heard from a friend at Upstaging (they rig they stages) that June 22nd is a go, and they have been told to keep their schedules clear that week

I will verrrrrrrry seriously consider Baltimore - it's only about a 6hr drive for me. But I'm still holding out for new Dublin dates.

 

[Pop Artist]

Yep, that's a U.S. date that I would probably go to as well, fills the gap well between my Denver and Montreal shows. Just three hours on the bus and can do it as an overnight.

Nashville is getting its anouncement this Monday, the 25th. I think Baltimore might get its official announcement on November 1.

[lauramullen]

I only need a hotel for the night before the show. I can drive home the night of the show.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

another mid week gig. I may have to pass on this one. If I go, I plan on staying with Amy!

That motel is in a somewhat crappy area right off the expressway. Yes, it is walking distance to the stadium - but there are much better alternatives.

I didnt check the prices, but the following hotels are on the other side of the stadium, next to a bunch of bars/restaurants

Days Inn Inner Harbour (Probably cheapest)
Holiday Inn
Marriot (Probably most expensive)

All 3 all much better choices than HI Express (whicj is next to a seedy Greyhound station as well)

I was contemplating some of those other hotels for that very reason, but then saw that Greyhound terminal (which I would be coming in on) was right there so that actually made me book the HI Express as my backup hotel, lol. Likely I will come in the morning or afternoon of the show anyway (depends on if I get GA or a seat - undecided), and leave the next morning so I won't be getting around much except for the stadium anyway...

 

[lauramullen]

The rumor is that this show will be announced at 7am tomorrow morning.
