Now just on Facebook. My wildest theory: Songs of Ascent will drop at the end of the week.

I saw them play it twice in 2005, Dublin 1 and Glasgow. Think it was done around 10 times on the Vertigo tour. Was very pleased as it was dropped from the Zoo TV your by the time I saw then did the first time at Leeds in 1993, and was one of the so ha that initially grabbed me from AB.

Me too. I was there with my sister, who says she has never seen me react to anything like that before. A little context is necessary though - I posted this on Zootopia, but it's worth repeating 'cos I just feel amazing about that experience... ...I am still buzzing from last night. For the...

I'm gutted that I won't get to a show next year, but excited that I'll get to see them on TV from Glastonbury. Having done 6 shows this summer, I was thinking of only 1 or 2 shows if there was a UK/Ireland leg in 2010. I'm getting married in October, so it wasn't going to be my highest of...

Great show, sound problems aside, but the GA entry procedures was a disaster. Funnelling everyone down the tunnel in a big crush could have led to a very nasty scene and possible injuries. Has no one in this country learnt any lessons from Hillsborough? My sister nearly got swept off her feet...

I suspect that the weather forecast will put a lot of people off queuing all day, apart from the real nutters of course :-)

You'll probably just beat me to it - we're leaving at 5.30am from Edinburgh, armed with all sorts of waterproofs!

What entrance does everyone else's tickets say for GA? Mine state: "Pitch entrance: Carmunnock Road. Onto Letherby Dr Enter Via Stadium Tunnel 46" Fairly sure I know where that is, but I think that is within the Hampden car park and the gates could be locked until later in the day. Planning...

I was right in front of the sound desk last night. Fantastic view of the show, especially as there was no really tall people between me and the stage :D We only got to Wembley at about 4pm and still got to choose the exact spot we wanted - could have easily been 2 or 3 rows from the barrier...

I'm heading for the general sale for London 2 as well. Not to fussed about whether I ge GAs or decent seats tbh, trying to see the show from lots of angles this time around!

I got 4 x GA for Glasgow. My bro got 4 x GA for London (incl. 1 for me!) My best mate got us seats for Cardiff. Just my sister to sort in the Breathe presale tomorrow (more London GAs for swapping purposes!). Very very smooth process, compared to last time. Literally took me only 3 minutes.

I haven't got an email yet, but my code on the tours section shows U2A...hopefully, that's good. Been a paid subscriber since 2004 and Prop before that. Still disagree about the seniority thing though.

While this is undoubtedly brilliant news, it doesn't quite tie in with the rumoured London dates (mid-July). It would be odd if all the UK and Ireland shows weren't around the same time.

That's what I'm thinking...might give it a try.

Yes, that's what I did. I'm currently wondering whether just to "RENEW NOW" just to make sure I get into the pre-sale, but waiting for some sort of official confirmation.
