With three stages roaming at the same time is it likely U2 will leave a stage in NJ/NY and actually end the tour there? I just cant see U2 ending the US tour in Minnysota.
Minnesota (with an E, thankyouverymuch) should be the final date. (And I say that only because I already have a ticket.)
They've ended the tour in non-obvious (for lack of a better term) places in the past. Portland for Vertigo, Vancouver for the last 360 leg. It doesn't have to end in some giant place.

Cool. i want it to end there too. I was just curious what the climate was on this forum.
Yeah, I imagine it kind of accidentally became the closing city.
Oh my goodness, I wasn't trying to start a big thing by saying that. I was just saying that they didn't always end in a gigantic city.
I can't believe you went all the way back to the beginning - do you think there were fans back in 1981 who traveled cross-country to "destination" shows?
I mean, anything is possible. It just seems funny to be pulling data about "destination tour leg ending cities" back when hardly anyone knew who they were.
I know you said "just for kicks," but I can't help it.
(Edit: Sorry - I think that all came out a lot bitchier than I intended. )
They'll add some dates after Minniapolis. Wait and see.

I guess it'll depend on how long they want to keep this tour going. Would they really add another leg after the make-up leg? Just keep touring indefinitely? Adding legs after legs ....
Sounds like a scary sci-fi movie.

At the last show of the last leg, they will take all three stages and build them in my hometown. Every member will get his own stage - expect for Bono, he'll run around all of them. Every fan can buy a ticket for his/her favorite bandmember.

The Joshua Tree tour was actually supposed to end with 2 arena shows in Hampton, Virginia... not a major city by any means. The Phoenix stadium shows were scheduled later, and only for R&H filming needs. (Fans were only charged $5 or less. This not only got the stadium filled twice, but compensated the fans for seeing a show where the band was playing for the cameras more than the audience.)
And actually, JT tour was supposed to briefly visit South America in December, but that was abandoned due to cost. (Dec 20,21 were the dates for Buenos Aires).
I think there's been some pondering about if there will be shows added to the leg next summer, but there wasn't like a big outcry of people being all butthurt that it was ending in a relatively small city.
