Hi U2 its been over 7 years!!!
Now soon to be be 3 tours in US and Europe without coming to Australia.
Someone please give us some news that U2 are going to tour here soon? Any new news, rumours?
Me too mate. I'm planning on some Europe shows and any Australia shows are a bonus. Went to London and Glasgow for i+e.I’ll do my best:-
September ‘17 - U2 Australia Twitter-One of those ‘friend of mine works for Ticketek’ rumours - friend says an Australian Tour announcement soon to come.
October ‘17 - U2 Australia Twitter-Bono radio interview. Discusses production challenges of commencing tour here. Also thinking how to merge SOI, SOE and Joshua Tree 30th. Weirdly mentions playing Side 2 of Joshua Tree.
60 Minutes Interview - Edge says they’re coming. Bono says we’ll do our best to come.
Various Fan Forums - rumours of Nov/Dec ‘18 down here. Only speculation.
I’m not taking the risk. Heading to Vegas and Nashville and if they get here it’ll be a bonus.
I think they will hit up New Zealand, Australia, and Japan in late 2018 or early 2019 at the latest. They have not played Japan since 2006. Then after that they will conclude the tour with additional 2nd legs in both Europe and North America.
Really cannot see them going back to North America next year. One leg will be enough
Oh they got a large number of places they have not hit on their current leg that has gone on sale. Lots of big cities.
Miami
Dallas
Houston
Minneapolis
Phoenix
San Diego
Toronto
Winnipeg
Edmonton
Vancouver
At least two shows in each of those cities in 2019 which is 20 shows. Single shows in the following cities:
Denver
Portland OR
Charlotte NC
Tampa Bay
Atlanta - provided they don't add a second night on the 1st leg.
Atlantic City NJ
Pittsburgh PA
Providence RI
That's 28 shows in 18 cities they can do in 2019 in North America without playing any of the cities they did in 2018, except Atlanta. A lot of these cities were not played in 2015 either.
I love how even a thread about Australia becomes about another US leg.
Not fair - posts by Sting's 8th alter don't count.I love how even a thread about Australia becomes about another US leg.
I think they will hit up New Zealand, Australia, and Japan in late 2018 or early 2019 at the latest. They have not played Japan since 2006. Then after that they will conclude the tour with additional 2nd legs in both Europe and North America.
Quick update - there are now two solid bookings for concerts at The Gabba for early 2019. One is a certain gentleman who approves of Saturday night fighting. The other... well... it's Live Nation - though that could be Metallica, The Eagles or Bon Jovi as well. All 3 are routing tours as we speak but only Bon Jovi is looking at outdoor shows (wineries etc) as far as I know.
Also it's not Beyonce - she is looking at stadiums but not the Gabba
U2 will probably swing by somewhere around 2035, it'll be just Larry and some session guys doing the RSL circuit as 'The Larry Mullen U2 Experience'. Featuring a sacked ex-Hutchence-replacement-from-INXS as frontman. In between songs Larry will share anecdotes and a slideshow about the old days when they were the biggest band in the world, and take questions from the floor.
Come on U2, hurry up and get those stadiums booked before other artists and events gobble them up.
It seems like "negotiations" have been going on for the last 3 years or so...
