U2 Announces 2010 360 Tour Opening Acts - Lenny Kravitz, Interpol, The Fray and more

[corianderstem]

I don't know if it was in commercials - maybe a movie trailer? It was also nominated for one of the videos of the year at the MTV Awards, and they performed on the show.

"Dog Days Are Over" was used in the trailer for Eat, Pray, Love.

 

[corianderstem]

I knew I'd heard it blasting from my TV.

 

[Sicy]

Ah that's where I heard it.

 

[prbiker15]

I like Florence + The Machine since I heard 'Dog Days Are Over', glad I get a chance to see them opening the Miami show.

 

[lauramullen]

I get Interpol for almost all of my shows.

 

[AiRMaRcI9o0]

Interpol still? Well that blows

 

[MoodyJ]

I get Interpol for almost all of my shows.

I feel your pain.

 

[secretly alone]

I get Interpol for almost all of my shows.

My sentiments exactly. Seeing the same random band seven times?
Eh, I don't really pay much attention to the opening act anyway Would be nice to have some variety though.

 

[alison0313]

I don't really want to see Interpol , but whatever no sense in bitching. I just don't understand the booking of these boring acts when some of these shows aren't even sold out. Adding someone like Jay Z to the Toronto show, for example, might boost the ticket sales.

 

[secretly alone]

If I had to suffer JayZ, I would choke myself. If he was opening in Toronto, you would see one chick standing there like this: ...just sayin

It would be nice to see Snow Patrol again, they were sweet. And they've had some pretty cool openers...mostly in Europe though. Of course

 

[Peck2st]

Really Interpol? Damn. Florence in Miami should be nice, but I was hoping maybe Bono would pull Brandon Flowers (with or without The Killers) or even Mumford and Sons or Silversun Pickups. Anyone to keep me from thinking about pissing myself.

Oh god, I'm really relieved that we didn't get Jay Z or something like Black Eyed Peas. I think I got lucky in the end.

 

[eremin23]

After suffering through Interpol in Brussels, it pains me to know they're getting all the east coast dates... They are really that bad...

The Fray and Kravitz for my Denver and Oakland shows sucks too, but anything is better than Interpol...

 

[DuketheCat]

Definitley have to find something to do during The Fray at Denver. Not too crazy about Kravitz either but he would be better.

Denver radio stations think The Fray are so great since they are from here and do an overkill on playing their music. I switched to satellite radio just to get some variety!

 

[cleazer]

Hmm, not quite as good a lineup as seeing Muse and Black Eyed Peas last year.

I've never heard of Florence And The Machine before, but those two youtube videos posted were actually quite enjoyable. I look forward to seeing them in East Lansing next year. Certainly better than the standard rock bands we usually get.

 

[corianderstem]

If you liked those two clips, you should check out the album - the whole thing is very good.

 

[mama cass]

oh wow! Florence and the Machine! you lucky ducks!

they've become amazingly big this side of the pond these past couple of years...

should be a good show!

 

[last unicorn]

You people like to complain a lot about the support acts, don't you?

How about simply giving them a chance before judging? I had never thought I'd like One Republic after hearing their stuff on the radio, but in the end they were pretty good

Silversun Pickups!!!

They deserve to play a stadium. Love them.

 

[U2Mama]

I'm a bit bummed about Interpol-but I do need to give them a listen before I can decide whether or not I like them...I am very jealous about you guys who get Florence and the Machine...love them!

 

[corianderstem]

Sorry - I have no problem complaining about the choice of a band whose music I absolutely do not care for.

If I change my mind about them after seeing them, I will happily say so.

 

[nirniva]

Interpol?

INTERPOL?

INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNTERPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

[secretly alone]

Personally, I wish there were no support acts. That way no one would be stuck suffering through something awful. No wasting time. U2 could just play for three hours and everyone would be happy

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Silversun Pickups!!!

They deserve to play a stadium. Love them.

 

[gvox]

Silversun Pickups!!!

They deserve to play a stadium. Love them.

I said this ages ago. Fuck seeing Interpol or The Fray. What's next, an announcement that Snooze Petrol is returning?

 

[powerhour24]

about your SP comment, and I'm bummed that I'm still stuck with Lenny Kravitz and Interpol.

Come on get someone exciting and with stadium sound, like Mutemath .

 

[kramwest1]

I like Snow Patrol, but yes, they are bringing them back for Mexico City.
Has any opening band continued on and off with the headliner for almost 2 years?

This has got to be some contractual bullshit with Live Nation.

 

[nielsgov]

I just think they (U2 and Snow Patrol) really like eachother.

 

[4U2Play]

I can't believe the fucking Fray are still on the list for DEN and SLC. They suck.
I would gladly take Snow Patrol for the millionth time over them.
