You'd think a site dedicated to a particular band would be familiar with their songs.. I'll wait for U2 Valencia to weigh in
Now we can rule them out playing Red Flag Day and The Blackout.

Maybe they'll pop in and play the hits at the Minnesota State Fair this summer
Too bad it's just primarily seating, I think? I'd love to see the GA line somehow maneuver the crowds there!

They likely would have raised the room rates for the 4th if their was going to be a 2nd show. 3rd is $599/nt, 4th is only $199
Well that's not fair
A) Springsteen, Dylan, Prince, etc have all played that arena. If you look at any arena's calendar you'll find dodgy concerts, especially smaller ones. Plenty of major acts have played there.
B) they're already playing T Mobile in Vegas (built and owned by MGM), and have played the MGM Grand in the past. What's the difference?
I didn't think they'd any more shows so I thought Toronto was out, but now all bets are off
I was half-joking of course, but...seriously did we anticipate U2 booking a venue like Mohegan Sun on this tour? I am sorry I did not forsee that.

The u2.com news about the two additional dates doesn't say "final dates" to be added which u2.com normally state. So there's definitely a chance for shows to be added elsewhere

I think somebody said something about the potential dates for Toronto were in question because of venue availability due to the hockey playoffs. The dates they wanted were in between Atlanta and Montreal, around June 1st. So they'll have to see how the playoff schedule ends up working out. Perhaps this is also the holdup on announcing the 2nd Atlanta show, they're not sure if they're going to be able to get from Atlanta to Toronto depending on what the dates are. Who knows?
The Mohegan Sun arena is only 10,000 capacity. But literally every other major artist has played there. It's not a sign of declining popularity. It must equate to a big payout, because for a small venue it gets a lot of big shows.

And Omaha... my guess is they intended on have another show in LA. But when they realized demand wasn't there, they figured they'd need to play somewhere in order to make that money. Omaha hasn't been played since 2005, and is on the way to Chicago from LA. Makes sense.
You did an awesome job with those images, hats off to you. Also they were absolutely on fire the other night.... Have fun at St. Pats gig.
Why not just go to Twin Cities then? Bigger population base there...and two arenas to chose from for dates.

I reserved a room at the Fox Tower in Foxwoods for $69+ tax (I have a players card there so it was a little cheaper). Its about a 10 minute drive over to Mohegan.
It wouldn't have been shocking to see one show there from the start, but it's a little surprising to see them toss it in at the end.
If the Air Canada center found a spot for Bon Jovi right in the middle of the NBA/NHL playoff for the Raptors and Leafs (May 12,) they surely can find spot for U2 at the end of May or early June.

Hockey is not a factor in July..I would have said the Mohegan Sun date sets them up nicely for them to end in Toronto, but Shania Twain is booked into the ACC on 7/6 and 7/7 - but they could still hit TO on 7/8 or 7/9, maybe do a single in Ottawa before then. OR they could play Hamilton, Ontario on the 6th and 7th... Have a feeling one of these scenarios will apply.
Yea there are plenty of arenas on the docket that have potential conflicts. The U2 shows at Capital One Arena are scheduled on the day of Game 7 of the NBA Finals (admittedly an incredible long shot), and a potential Stanley Cup Final would also conflict(more of a possibility).
Not to mention San Jose, Las Vegas, Nashville and Philly all have potential NHL or NBA playoff conflicts, and it hasn't stopped them from booking the arena.
So the idea that Toronto is waiting for a playoff schedule doesn't hold water. It's possible that they're just skipping Toronto this time around. Hard to believe I know, but I don't see another reasonable explanation at this point.

Yeah that is the way to go.
If I wait until June, I can probably get a free room at Foxwoods, normally get the free room Sunday to Thursday offer, though they might restrict the holiday "weekend" dates. But not sure I'll be able to make 7/3 work anyway with normal July 4th stuff.
But I plan to get the free room from Foxwoods on 7/29 when I see The Pumpkins at Mohegan.
Currently booked at Air Canada Centre during the NBA and NHL playoffs...
May 2 - Kygo (ha!)
May 4 - Stars on Ice
May 12 - Bon Jovi
June 5 - Hall & Oates w/ Train (eww)
June 11 - Depeche Mode
June 12 - Paul Simon
June 16 - Harry Styles
Three's nothing stopping them from booking, say, the 31st and 1st. Even if ACC didn't want to give up 3 days because of potential playoff conflicts, they could easily book one show now and put it on sale in that time frame.
These teams won't know their initial playoff schedules until mid April... and potential dates of each playoff round are communicated by the league in advance. So yea... makes no sense for that to be the hold up.

Mohegan Sun is advertising this as the last stop on the US tour although that wouldn't preclude a second show, nor Ontario or other Eastern Canada dates after that... https://www.facebook.com/mohegansun...42150835045/10160174154210046/?type=3&theater
EDIT: (or other US dates before that)

Yeah. This one wasn't a shock to me.
But Uncasville? I had to fucking look up where it is. I think that's the first time they've played somewhere and it's been so obscure I'd never heard of it before.
I'm also very surprised they've added extra shows without including a second Atlanta date or anywhere in Canada.

I am pretty convinced more Canada is coming though - why they are waiting on that I don't know.
