Glad I saw my two shows (Raleigh and ATL) this year bc I don't think they're coming close again next year!
It's the exact same number!!!!But really, it seems odd to announce that many European dates and so comparatively few North America dates.
But really, it seems odd to announce that many European dates and so comparatively few North America dates. I feel sure that there will be more added.
It was the same number a month ago, more shows have been added in the meantime.
And even so, last I checked, Europe has twice the population of North America.
There will be another NE date announced. Dont know when but there will be a NE date
Not for nothing, but all previous tour date rumors had them in East Rutherford on July 24/25.........which seemed pretty accepted as possible....even with the European leg starting in August. So, mb Boston does have a shot for 24/25? lol
Oh for gawd's sake, the people complaining that they didn't get a show in their own backyard and might have to drive an hour away, or that they're not getting a second show...jebus, the entitlement.
I think Bon Jovi is at Gillette on the 24th....
Those of us in the US "flyover" regions and the Aust/NZ are crying all over the place for you.
I like this theory too. the park only holds around 35k though. If it happens, for one show, that'll be the hottest ticket in townRegarding a New England date:
I like the theory that U2 is going to play Fenway Park, and since that's such a big deal, it'll get its own separate announcement at a later date. A quick check of the Red Sox schedule reveals the team is on the road from July 5-14 and again from July 19-30....
I was just thinking about how there's no Gillette, and got off the phone with my dad (who is a big fan, and saw them way up at the Sept 20th show there). To be honest, I'm not surprised at all they're not playing there.... I mean, it's shocking that there's NOTHING in NE, but for anyone who was at those Gillette shows, you know how getting out was. And apparently the sound for my parents way up was really terrible. I don't know if this is a legitimate factor in why they're not playing there, but who knows. It could be. I know a lot of people on here were upset, and I sent a nasty review to Gillette so.... huh.
Wow, I've spent my whole morning thinking about U2 dates, and stayed up 'til 3am watching that live broadcast. Now I'll be late to my class's screening of 'Carrie'.

Hello....traffic has been a mess at almost every US show i have read about. I can vouch for Foxboro and Chicago. Also, there have been sound complaints too at almost every show that i have read about here...
don't give up yet. maybe they are just ironing out the dates!
Just to be clear, you mean New England, not just NorthEast, right?

I think prediction two is just as realistic as prediction one. Stay in the big cities and play multiple dates. I put June 26 Pittsburgh date in there because 1. Its a Saturday, 2. It splits people in Ohio between East Lansing and Pittsburgh, 3. Pittsburgh has a relatively new stadium unlike any city in Ohio.
But prediction two shows they may only add two more cities, Mexico city and another city, possibly Pittsburgh.
In prediction two, I think a 2nd Miami date is possible given that there are NO shows in the area that is south of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Rocky mountains except Miami. Plus, it is already a popular travel/vacation destination, the 2nd date would be on a Saturday, and its already the #1 talked about North American show at interference.
I'm sure there is still some demand left in New England but I think they may want to get those people to support shows in Montreal and East Rutherford. If East Rutherford is the final city stop in North America, the only possible July New England date would be July 14 in between Philadelphia and Montreal. But this would mean only one Philadelphia show. I think its more likely they will play two Philadelphia shows than return to New England.
