I hear ya Dan!! i live in Sydney but grew up in Cootamundra - we now have a farm at collecter and all my family are in Goulburn / Canberra.
I think Canberra would be awesome for a U2 concert!!
You know, I'm not one to usually complain but for fucks sake! I know Australia is a long way away from America/ Europe but are the Australian fans not important enough to U2?
I've been a bloody hardcore fan for over 20 years and only seen 3 seperate tours! I'm really losing my patience here...
