Crickets, if this is happening this year one would think there would be some rumblings pretty soon. The recent u2songs postings seemed to be hinting at this happening.
Just looked it up. In 2010 U2’s tickets for Australia and NZ didn’t go on sale until September 3rd, and the shows began November 24. The trend lately seems to be to put shows on sale much earlier. Point is there’s no reason to expect an announcement this far out, still plenty of time.
The mains reasons to be concerned about these dates are
a) it's just rumor and hearsay, nothing confirmed. not even a peep from a band member
b) there's no reason to do these dates other than simply to give fans in that region an overdue taste. For many bands this might be enough, but U2 tend to want to have something to promote when they tour.

JT30 would obviously have to be stadiums, unless they built a smaller screen.
I heard the JT30 stage is being modified. To what extent, who knows?
Definitely stadiums. And let's be honest, a show focusing on U2's 80s output will sell waaaaay more tickets here than SOI/E.

The (can't) C StageWillie Williams has said they are adding a boxing ring adjacent to the tree stage for the Headache/Axver fight which will take place during Red Hill Mining Town in an effort to distract concertgoers from the awful Edge piano and piped in horns arrangement, and a large cooler for Axver to store his Foster's whilst he gets pummeled.

Probably throw in piano EBW and probably 1-2 from SOE. GOOYOW and LIBTAIIW probably. Otherwise, all the HITZ + JT.
U2songs says 5 cities in Australia, 1 in New Zealand. Routing is being finalized and an announcement is being prepped. Maybe announced next week?
So the plot thickens. For 2 months you’d figure more cities, dates, countries than that.
