[claytons edge]

OK,now i doubt this will even happen but let's just pretend that it will.After playing the 4th and 5th leg,U2 will begin their indoor tour of europe and their final leg sometime around may,i'm trying to figure out most likely venue's across europe. I'll start off with the one's i know, LONDON EARLS COURT (19,000) M.E.N ARENA MANCHESTER (21,000) SHEFFIELD HALLAM FM ARENA NEWCASTLE METRO RADIO ARENA NOTTINGHAM ARENA CARDIFF ARENA (10,000) GLASGOW SECC ODDESEY ARENA BELFAST (20,000) GREEN GLEN'S ARENA CORK (7,000) POINT DEPOT DUBLIN. (8,000) Now we want to try and get as many suitable arena's as possible across europe with capacity,thanks for any help

Birmingham NEC. holds loads, dunno exactly how many though. 20,000+ i should think

 

[nickypiemcg]

Glasgow SECC does NOT hold 20,000. I think the record attendance for an all standing concert there is something like 12,000.

 

[claytons edge]

I know glasgow SECC doesn't hold 20,000,it's the oddesey arena in belfast that i was trying to point out that hold's 20,000.

[JulioArca]

Spektrum Oslo, 8.000. I can only dream...

 

[claytons edge]

Point depot show's would be amazing,but they would have to play the venue a silly amount of times,mind you westlife do it so why not U2

 

[claytons edge]

Anybody have any info for spain or portugal perhaps?

 

[anne_j]

The Globe in Stockholm can actually take 16000 (just checked), and then there's also Scandinavium in Gothenburg, with a capacity of 14000.
U2 have played both venues before.

 

[claytons edge]

Thanks anne,let's hope they'll be there next year again and everywhere else in europe

agreed

 

[zwervers2]

In amsterdam we allready had 3 "indoor"shows

That stadium SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

The concerts rocked though but that had more to do with the quality of the band that was playing and position I was during the concerts than the actual accoustiscs for the people who were sitting way back...

an indoorshow in europe would be cool though and some great outdoorshows in Australie and NZ for Axver and his buddies

I would like to announce the formation of the Movement To Bring U2 To Australia And New Zealand To Appease Axver And Keep The Peace On Interference, aka the MTBUTAANZTAAAKTPOI. Now that's one mother of an abbreviation!

could be who knows..do I know?
I need a holiday

 

[kaber]

If they play the same cities again without a new album their may only be enough demand to fill arena's rather than stadiums, so if they do return to Europe I think it will be an arena tour.

Curious to know how this would affect the size of the Bomb Shelter compared to the stadium gigs.

Anyone know how many got into the Bomb Shelter in the US on Leg 1 compared to the Bomb Shelter in the UK on Leg 2?

Thanks
