CHVRCHES would be amazing. War on Drugs, too. I'm also wondering if Magic! will open in Toronto. That's where they're from and they had a huge hit on the radio last summer.
Opening act?

I would skip the opening act if it was 30STM. I can't stand Jared Leto's voice.
I would love if St. Vincent opened. She and Lykke Li made 2 of my favorite albums of the year.

Some of these bands are awfully small compared to who has been opening for them recently, IMO.
Someone should tell them they spelled their name wrong

Honestly, as long as they don't pick some other has-been act like Lenny Kravitz, I'll at least respect their decision.
A younger, up-and-coming artist is always more refreshing to see, even if it's not particularly up my alley.

You know who has a really annoying band name? Alvvays.
Which is a shame, cause apparently they're the next big thing and their videos feature vignettes from favorite childhood haunts of mine, but..the name

I'm pretty mad that the VVar On Drugs copied this whole trend too.

How about they just create some holograms of Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze and have them do a chippendales routine!....
It would fit with the album cover...

Spoon, Lykke Li and Hozier would be great support acts.

I saw them/him/whatever 6 shows in a row. I had the set memorized.
That is dedication
I'm too old/lazy to know the cool young bands. Snow Patrol was fun in 2009. And seeing Arcade Fire open in Moncton in 2011 was as good as it gets.

Saw them twice, too. I was obviously the opening act winner on that tour.

It got that way with me for Keane - and now I couldn't name a Keane song if you paid me

Here we go again... For the past so many years, U2 hardly had artists opening that NEED U2.
Like BB King, Snow Patrol, Jay-Z, Oasis, Lenny Kravitz and Muse "needed U2". What's your point?
I do hope that Lykke Li jumps on board.

I could totally see K-oS on tour with U2.
- musically diverse, something in his sets for everyone from soul to hip hop to rock
- has a diverse following, both culture and age-wise
If you've ever seen him live, and taken a look around you at the packed crowd, you know what I mean.
I don't think Li is big enough to open for U2 yet. People are mainly jumping on board for her because of The Troubles, and while its in my top 3 songs on the album, realistically not many here knew of her before.

Jay wanted fans down under, Snow/Oasis wanted more fans in the US, Lenny Kravitz was desperate not to become a theater act and Muse wanted more fans in the southern US/get some pointers on being a Stadium act.

I don't think Li is big enough, nor has the body of work to open for U2 yet. Another album, a charted song or two, maybe. People are mainly jumping on board for her because of The Troubles, and while its in my top 3 songs on the album, realistically not many here knew of her before.
K-Os had trouble selling a 400 capacity venue here. He's a resident here in Vancouver.
Lykke Li has THREE albums with more hits/strong songs than several past u2 openers. I've been tracking her career for 6 years now and she a borderline theater act.

Uh, sorry, what charted hits does she have again?
In his last FIVE albums, k-os has had actual certifiable chart and radio success, and his music will appeal to a wider base of people. He's releasing a SIXTH album Jan 2015. The show you are referring to must have been an anomoly, he's had no problem selling theatres and festivals across North America for years.
