The National are too big and too good to be opening for U2.
Go read a magazine. Interpol are awesome.
The National are too big and too good to be opening for U2.
Interpol WAS a great band. Turn on the Bright Lights is one of the defining albums of the 2000s. Antics is great too. U2 was right to give them a chance, only it was 5 years too late.
And yeah cobbler, despite the amount of press they get in the blogosphere The National are not even remotely too big to say yes to U2. The same still goes for Arcade Fire. Hell, Muse had broken through here quite a bit years before 360 and they said yes.
Muse opened for U2 when they were playing stadiums. I'm not sure that they would have done it had U2 been playing arenas, because they can sell out arenas by themselves.
They don't always pick the best possible choices, but they don't usually stoop down to the level of Bastille or Imagine Dragons so no worries there..
Weren't they also already selling out stadiums in some markets? Do you think they would have said "no" to opening for U2 at stadiums even if they already were? I could be way off here but I got the impression from watching them cover Streets that they are huge U2 fans. That wasn't just a cover that was a love-in. I think they'd still do it, on that basis alone. Maybe not other acts who can already sell out arenas, sure, and as for The National I don't really know whether they are yet selling out arenas everywhere on their own or not...but Muse? I think they would have still said yes.
My request is The CHVRCHES.
I so want that.
I will settle for M83, also.
May I remind you that they had The Fray as an opening act for some 360 shows?
Don't think I've ever heard of The National before. What kinda band is it?
They aren't but they're already playing in them so I think they'd do a pretty good job. Stadiums would be horrible but that goes for practically every band.They aren't exactly "arena" music, then again the last time I saw them was 2007 in a tiny club.
Elbow, every last show of this tour.
/close thread.
The Dalton's

That first song sounds very Depeche Mode ish, I like it!
