OMG.!!! thanks so much!! This came out of nowhere.. I just bought tix!

Can't wait to see them again!

 

[Joey788]

Are they still announcing additional tour dates? I would love to see them again. Saw them in New York a day after The Suburbs out. I'd like to see them now that I know the songs better.

 

[Imperor]

Those hoping for a tour extension are in luck. Just got word they're confirmed for ACL in September.

 

[cobl04]

how is it fair that you get SXSW and ACL.

 

[martha]

He has to live in Texas.

Yeah, I'm hoping they come back to NYC soon too (Philly or close will do)...last time I went with a friend who did not want to be on the floor - the next time I want to get closer.

You keeners have probably already heard these, but here's a link anyway. Speaking in Tongues is really good. Culture War is just ok

Loving Culture War.

 

[BoMac]

I love them both, but Speaking in Tongues is all kinds of awesome, in my opinion.

 

[u2popmofo]

I wish you weren't just pretending to like them to look cool.

 

[BoMac]

Is it that obvious that I'm pretending?

I guess this means that I have to disguise my intentions better next time.

 

[lazarus]

It's sad that the charade of enjoying anything having to do with The Suburbs is still ongoing. You people need to wake up and stop lying to yourselves.

 

[LDM007]

I love "Speaking in Tongues" because it has a fast "Suburban War" (one of my three favorites from "The Suburbs") vibe to it...

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Got my Charlottesville GA tix today!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

sorta short (may have been due to the fact that it was 100 degrees out there and humid as hell), standard setlist but I was just so happy to see them again!

pics I took (was 2nd row left side and am vertically challenged so not very many good ones this time, if i had rail I would of got a ton. This venue was so tiny that while waiting in the GA line before the show we got the full soundcheck and was even able to walk right up to the lawn portion w/o any security and take pics which I did the first 3 or 4 w/my 20x zoom they actually came out).

Awesome show in Charlottesville. I was drenched in sweat by the end, and exhausted at work the next day after a 3 hour drive home, but it was worth it. Really nice venue right in the heart of downtown. And apparently they soundchecked 'Vampire Forest Fire?' Sad to say I did not recognize it (I own the first EP, but 'Headlights Look Like Diamonds' is the only song I regularly listen to off it).

haha! you were there too.. cool.. Yeah they sure did sound check that. There was no security while waiting in the GA line. So i walked right up to the lawn area and started taking pics while they were sound checking. It was like getting 2 concerts, being in line listening to them and the show.

Omg.. I was drenched head to toe with sweat it was a brutal day. But so worth it like you said.. Drank 3 bottles of water by the end.. Walked thru the misting tent afterwards.. felt awesome.

I really liked the venue too where it was situated. And it was so small. Did you notice the people on the walkway above the stage on the right getting a free show?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

maybe they will play this tonite at bonnaroo..
they are live video streaming the show here at 9:30 CT : Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival 2011 | VEVO

Win still has the stupidest fucking haircut of all-time.

It ruined North American Scum.

 

[bono_212]

He'd actually be kind of attractive if he'd just wear it like a normal human being. What is that hair cut even about, I just don't understand.

 

[martha]

Maybe he's too handsome and the haircut is to keep the rest of us safe from his handsomeness.





Or not. I dunno.

Arcade Fire Presents Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

I enjoyed the traditional video and had fun "dancing" in the interactive one.

Loved that I recognized a lot of the places.

And can Régine be any more adorable in this video?
