They have a lot of pressure, as Quincy Jones said.
So which one almost died and didn't the entire last album and tour telling us about it then?Bono’s not the one who needs or wants a rest. It’s not in his nature.

Yeah. Things have changed a bit it seems, looking at a window from 2nd week Nov to 1st week Dec now. Announcement after Christmas.
Latest update on the Aussie/other minnow country tour rumours
So that timeframe almost certainly suggests stadiums (not that we didn't suspect this would be the case already), although as mentioned further down the page, Sydney might be an interesting situation given the billions of dollars certain politicians want to spend to tear down and rebuild stadiums.
This year, U2 announced the European dates in mid-January, so there might not be long to wait for a post-Christmas announcement.
SCG could be the Sydney venue if both of the rectangular ones are out of commission? Or Spotless?
Or they could just come down to Wollongong and play the stadium a five minute walk from my house.
If this tour goes ahead (and we will know soon) I can guarantee it will be November and it will be a stadium show. All you need to spend up front is the dosh for the tickets. Then you'll have 10 months to save and sort out accommodation and flights.I'm torn between wanting to finally end the many years of speculation versus needing to plan and commit money 6+ months in advance.
Wait. If he was babysitting my son for a month, I should have had many more nights out.
I really hope you guys aren't counting on the tour based on some random forum posts.
I hope you get it and all... Axver's ass whooping is long overdue, but don't get your hopes up too high
When they say announcement ‘after Christmas’ I hope they mean like March/April. Enough with bands announcing tours 10-12 months out.
I had to look that up to see if it was true. Holy fuck, that's way too far away.I saw where Elton John is selling tickets for European concerts happening in December of 2020!!! That's insane!
Yeah that's just ridiculous. 6-9 months is okay but any longer is too long.I had to look that up to see if it was true. Holy fuck, that's way too far away.
I REALLY hope this is true for all of the fans down under so they can finally see them and be able to complain like the rest of us about: Setlists; Playing Time: Bono's Hair; Bono's Weight; Larrys' scowl and so on BUT:
What I'm really looking forward to is finally Ax getting his comeuppance, for too long he's been throwing his weight around here (and Shock of Blond Hair and his 6 foot frame, yes I saw him in Boston at a Vertigo Show, so Headache... if you need someone to point him out just let me know.
Bring it punkThe ghost of that ripped-af 'roo will be in my corner so Headache doesn't have a prayer.
Ax would you mind if Bono used your old Af-Roo to come up with a character who is Australian, extremely pissed off about Ultraviolet and a drunken stumblebum on way too many shrimps from the barbie and a few to manyGuine$$'Foster's
Why can’t they just make music? I’m the first one to line up for tickets to see them live but like, instead of just calling it quits because of the physical toll that touring takes - why don’t you just make albums? NLOTH was a fantastic album, until they felt the need to have more ‘hits’. The middle of the album is a complete disaster. The beginning and the end is a masterpiece of U2 being in a African setting. It’s gorgeous. With these last two albums, SOI, on my opinion, is weaker because of their fruitless pursuit of ‘hits’. SOE is pure songwriting, and that’s why it’s so great. Just do those. These 4 men are better musicians now than they’ve ever been. So just get together, have a good time and record a kick ass album. We will be just as happy.
Fixed
I'm chalking a lot of this "this could be the end" talk up to this being the end of a long work cycle and they're all probably burnt out on U2.
After a year or so of sitting on the couch, someone will get the urge again.
