War Child
Arcade Fire is already touring in late September/early October, at least. I'm seeing them on October 4th. 
Still, getting a preview at the Toronto shows would be great.

I believe I knew No Doubt was the opener in L.A. before tickets went on sale, last tour, I had to buy 4 extra tickets to accomodate the No Doubt fans in my family. I think they'll have various openers this time around.

That would be awesome, I know Audioslave is touring in the fall also and they haven't announced their tour plans either...hmmm.

OK, the blue have had some injuries....lots of injuries, we were an average team on opening day and now we're waaaay below average. At this point I'm hoping they give our young guys a shot, our future is looking good.
The Cards should make the series, the National league is weak, but I see another sweeep!

I'm a man of my word, if you're still going to U2 in Vegas then I'll by you a drink. I'm not giving up yet on the big blue D, the West is weak and there's still plenty of baseball to play.

Whoo Hoo!!!:
They just annonced on Montreal radio stations that The Arcade Fire will be the opening act for the Ottawa and Both Montreal shows.
I'm going to the second show,here in Montreal..just can't wait,now.
This is going to be the best night of the year for me..Arcade Fire/U2..Best combo
Bring on November 28th!

On behalf of the other Dalton Brothers, I can confirm, with great sadness, that the Dalton Brothers will not be making any "scheduled" appearances on the third leg of the tour.

Yeah, as much as I like what I've heard of Arcade Fire, I'd still much rather see someone like the Killers... Just my taste, I suppose.

this may be old news, but on the arcade fire website, it says that (in addition to AF obviously) U2 have had or will have the Doves, BRMC, and the Magic Numbers open for them. At least these were the ones that I didn't recognize as having opened for them on the 1st 2 legs. Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe these bands played on the European leg and I didn't notice.

If you haven't seen an Arcade Fire show, it blows the rest of those bands away. There is no comparison, and I am a big fan of those other three.

In terms of what...do they set themselves on fire? U2 and Rage Against the Machine in L.A for Pop Mart...now that was an opening band!

They have about 4 percussionists besides the drummer just going insane. If you look up pictures of their performance at Coachella this year, two guys are halfway up the side scaffolding! Their energy is phenomenal.

I had no idea, but since I thought I remembered hearing about The Doves opening, I figured I'd pop on U2tours.com and take a peek!
yeah that's a fun site.

if you dig through the Arcade Fire thread in B&C you can find a link to a site with 7 or 8 videos of them live...just to give you an idea, I'm sure the dynamics would be different from club to arena. I'll go try to find it if you like, it's very intense and delicious.
