I was really hoping for Stay. IGWSHA would be amazing though!
I really think they could pull off Lemon

Almost 72 hours to go. Sphere made Pollstar's Q3 cover.
Pollstar | Achtung Baby! Sphere Is Here And The Future Is Now!
U2gigs already reporting from Vegas. Shit's getting fucking real:

It's not gonna happen. For whatever (hopefully and thankfully) small number of hardcores that are obsessed about this shit, at 8am there will already be a small line with people with numbers on their hands, people arriving at 8 or shortly before will be told by security to line up behind them, and tour staff will start handing out the wristbands accordingly. They don't want a big unorganized circle of 200 folks all stampeding at once from all directions at 8am (who would?). It'll all work out.
The merch…
is Gildan tees? Ugh

Hasn’t it been for a while? My Slane shirt is, I think. So is my Surrender
Nice closeup of the LED tech tho!
Wanna watch this together Thursday night to get ready for opening night?

I was thinking that Lemon would be a cool encore opening song. Or maybe one of the remixes played before the encore if Bono can't pull off the falsettos anymore.

You needed to put the clothing label under a spoiler tag?
I thought this was going to be pics of the actual stuff.

Yes, it’s been Gildan t-shirts and hoodies for a while now which is a shame as Fruit of the Loom were virtually indestructible. I’ve just found my Zoo TV arena t which looks pretty damn for for being 30 or so years old.

I do like what they seem to be doing with the logos and colours for this run of shows and associated branding and merch.

I think that’s the same video they put on their Instagram. Pauli The PSM (and maybe a masked-up Gavin Friday?) checking out the exhibit. Looks really cool.

All that merch and the pop-up store with the exhibition really makes me hope they’ve got their shit together and you can buy everything you want from there rather than having any exclusive items at the actual show.

Looks like they shared some spoilers on U2-X Radio. Don’t click if you don’t want to know!

Rehearsal updates:
Zoo Station is the opener
AB not played in order or as a whole chunk
Vertigo rehearsed extensively, likely one of the biggest moments of the show
5 Zooropa songs being rehearsed including Lemon and The Wanderer
Pride NOT in the setlist per Adam Clayton on U2X radio
Streets and Beautiful Day rehearsed full-band
With or Without You continues to be rehearsed, ISHF is questionable
3-4 rotating songs per night

It's clear to me reading the spoilers that have info we all knew in our hearts... that Larry will come out for Atomic City to play that one song on drums during the ENCORE. Hence like Cal Ripken continuing his streak by playing 3 innings in a game..
Encore speculation...

Re: the new spoilers.
I’m very surprised Pride or Still Haven’t Found might not make an appearance - I thought they were going to go the definite “every hit by-the-numbers” route to cater to the casual/Facepalm group fans, but if this ends up being true, they are putting a bit more effort in this, setlist-wise. The idea of them bringing some songs from Zooropa is very exciting. Hoping for Stay as well, I still haven’t heard it live.
Starting with Zoo Station and not playing Achtung Baby front-to-back is probably a smart decision if they want to keep the momentum and interest up. That was one of my only gripes with TJT anniversary shows.
