    eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour Boxscore Discussion

    And that is why touring Asia/Australia etc is not a priority - when you can pull in that kind of money from a smaller run why invest the time and money in dragging the show to far away shores? Especially when the currencies are not as strong as the US $ and euro...

    Favorite U2 Concert?

    Sorry - 360 night 2. Typo. Night 1 setlist wise was ordinary - but the crowd was into it. I vividly recall singing to Allan - he had a good laugh about it. Then after a humid day we got the long threatened rain during With Or Without You. Those Zoomerang shows were so much fun - U2 were...

    Favorite U2 Concert?

    November 10, 2006 for me :) November 13 was good too - field was less full - but the constant will she/won't she about Kylie appearing kind of dragged on a bit. Zoomerang in Brissy was good too - Allan Border telling MacPhisto his name sounds like a hamburger... Worst was 360 night 3 in...

    Make the worst setlist possible

    There is a lot of Australiana in there. You left out 'One' where Oxfam backpacker chuggers circle the stage illuminating the band with their ipads raised high... Which they will only do on opening night and never again.

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    Hi all - sorry I've been bogged down working on a Katy Perry promotion. Expect some deep discounting very soon. Her sales are abysmal. Witness has completely derailed her momentum. Dainty will probably lose money after paying KP's upfront fee. Anyhow - U2. I've heard the guys want to stay...

    Japanese music appreciation thread

    Sorry - my Robbie avatar may give you a hint that I am more of a pop fan. I do love Babymetal and Ladybeard though. Good fun. I saw Babymetal live in Sapporo a couple of years back and it was arguably the best crowd I've ever been a part of.

    Arashi! Perfume! SHINee! (Korean - but their Japanese releases are better) :heart: X! Utada Hikaru! Kyary Pamyu Pamyu Radwimps! Sekai No Owari! BRING IT ON!! I love me some J Pop/Rock/Punk. :wave::wave::wave:

    Hello from Australia U2

    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...

    Hello from Australia U2

    Just an FYI for other Aussie fans - you will see some articles in the next week or two about a large stadium tour doing the capitals early next year - this is not U2 (I hear the negotiations are ongoing with Live Nation right now). It appears someone doing an extremely long multi-year...

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    Pink's last tour had two price points - $149 and $209. The tour before that was $99 and $149. She has previously made it at least kind of affordable. This tour - I don't know. I honestly wonder if they'll get the 40 shows at those price points. As for who pays that much for Madonna - the...

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    She had front row for $2,000, Runway seats at $799 only available as pairs, 'B Stage' seats (6 rows of them!!!!) at $1,100. Then A reserve $499, B reserve $249 and C reserve at $99. I think the Sydney pre-concert river cruise was an extra $299 or so and that was without entry - just drinks and a...

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    Just to bulk answer a few questions/comments. Muse are claiming they will be back late next year for a full tour however I'd find it unlikely they'd drag the whole set up down again so soon - especially as there are still a few seats left for both December shows. Midsized is classed as AAMI...

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    OK - so had a bit of a chinwag and while nothing obviously concrete was discussed here is what I found out. Basically Guy wants U2 to play arenas, Live Nation wants mid-sized stadiums. The sticking point is the band are yet to commit to an extended Asian run but it looks likely if the decision...

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    Initial routing suggests 6 Perth (2 on sale initially), 4 Adelaide (2 initially), 12-14 in Melbourne (4 initially), 10 Sydney (4 initially) and 6 Brisbane (2 initially). No regional shows are planned at this time - no Canberra/Newcastle etc. Current routing has a final Brisbane date (if...

    Sorry guys - been flat out working on the presale for Pink - the next week or so is going to be bloody ridiculous - but good news is I'll get to have a chat with a contact tomorrow and will dig a bit deeper.

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    If they do actually play a large Asian tour I'm guessing it will be all arenas or a mix. The Asian circuit is now full of decent, modern 12,000-20,000 seat arenas. Stadium wise though it's get a bit spottier. Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and South Korea (along with the Japanese domes) have decent...

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    U2 and Live nation are looking regional - Aust/NZ/Asia etc - Live Nation have an Asian subsidiary and it's usually a bundle tour (like Madonna's Rebel Heart tour). Sorry - just re-read my post and yeah it reads like Mildura is getting a show lol lol

    Joshua Tree Tour 2017 - Live DVD

    They may do like Taylor Swift did with her 1989 tour - film a show and put it on Apple Music/iTunes or whatever. saves them the cost of manufacturing physical dvds/blurays. This idea is awful though - if Taylor Swift's marketing team determined there wasn't a market for her hugely successful...

    Australia doesn't quite know what the fuck is happening 2017 - 2039

    Had a chat this morning to a Live Nation rep regarding their upcoming Imagine Dragons tour (that the company I work for will be doing a sponsored presale for) - April was the plan however it may be later in the year (October). Apparently a larger scale regional tour is being offered and it...
