They cancelled the Opera House gigs after they realized Axver pissed on the steps

Updated: May 5, 2019:

We are told that Live Nation communicated the U2 tour to some local employees in Australia, New Zealand and Asia early last week. This is in advance of the tour announcement, which we are told is 100% ready to go at this point and will be made just after the general election in Australia. While we don’t know the exact date of the announcement, it will happen during the week, and will be made early in the morning in the Sydney time zone so it will be picked up by morning radio and television in the region. The general election in Australia is being held on Saturday, May 18. An announcement COULD happen as early as the Monday. We have been told that the tickets for this tour will go on sale days after the announcement and there will not be much time between the announcement and sales. If we can confirm the date of any announcement we will let you know, but employees were asked not to share information about the tour until it has been announced.

Not sure immediately post-election is the smartest idea I've ever heard, but whatever, hook it to my veins etc

 

[dan_smee]

Probably the week after.

 

[AndrewCowley]

Dunno why the election should have anything to do with it. Someone at LN is over-thinking it. It has been observed that it's a pretty low-key election campaign with a high degree of dis-involvement from the public.

 

[cobl04]

Enrolment is higher than ever.

Clearly so Willie Williams can finish his "Don't Blame me I voted for [Whoever lost the Election]" screen on the vidi-wall.

 

[dan_smee]

Can’t see Bono being a big Scott Morrison fan

They need an excuse to play the reworked "Australian Soul"

Came here lookin' for a Foster's Can Oy!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It's not a woop woop
This country is to me a sound
Of didgeridoo

 

[Hewson]

Blessed are the koalas
For one day they too will get to drink Foster's
Blessed are the Dingoes
For babies can be tasty

Evidence continues to pour in that the announcement will be next week for the U2 tour of New Zealand, Australia and Asia. We are told by multiple sources that the announcement is likely to be Monday morning. One source has shared that the announcement will be early in the morning Australia time.

The tour is expected to visit the following cities: Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Perth, Singapore, Tokyo and Seoul. Both Singapore and Seoul, if announced, are new cities that U2 has not previously visited. The tour will take place in larger outdoor stadiums, and a small number of large indoor venues. The opening act is expected to be Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds for these shows. Although multiple shows are rumoured for Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Tokyo, only the first show in each city will be announced with the formal announcement, with the second shows only being announced if sales meet expectations. The tour is expected to run from November 8 into early December.

Although we’ve been told for a number of months that the band would not call this tour “The Joshua Tree Tour,” more recent information has again brought up the possibility that the tour may be branded “The Joshua Tree Tour” in some way. All along we have been told that The Joshua Tree would be a focus again, and that those songs would likely be reintroduced for this tour, and some components of the 2017 staging would be used. It is unclear however, if the band would intend to do the full album from the information we have received. We should know the exact name of the tour, and whether or not it is branded “The Joshua Tree Tour”, as well as the full details of concert dates next week.

g'Day g'Day
We're at a place called Adelaide

 

[lazarus]

See the world in gold and blue
can of Foster's right in front of you

 

[cobl04]

Man I am going to fucking cop it from a lot of people when this announcement comes out. I’m gonna be so annoying

 

[Hewson]

See the world in gold and blue
can of Foster's right in front of you

Drink it
Even though it has a horrid taste
Chug it
Then to the Bottle-o for another case

 

[bono_man2002]

One does not simply call this the Joshua Tree tour and not play the Joshua Tree.

"G'day mates, we're a band from Dublin called U2, this is The Joshua Tree tour...and this is a song called Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of"

Wow.

 

[kabigon]

So apparently they were going to announce this tour after the election, now I'm trying to process this leak at the same time Bob Hawke has died, RIP.

 

[edge4larry]

Finally looks like its really going to happen. Too far away to go to any of these shows, but at least those of us who can't go will get to see everything on youtube in the days following each show.

I mean at this stage they should just do an Achtung Baby tour seeing they're closer to that anniversary.
