Your 2012 Tour Calendar

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Yeah, it's the same thing down here. I'll be getting face-ish value on crappy seats. A bit more, like $5 or $10 more. But I've never seen em and they're the last of my 'top 6' original influence artists as I like to call em that I've yet to see live (U2, Airborne Toxic Event, blink-182, The Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers all seen in that order).
 
Maybe I'll see what Stubhub has at the last minute for the August 8 show. No one seems too enthusiastic about behind the stage tix, so perhaps ther may be some deals there.
 
Jack White - May 31st - Wiltern - So glad I decided to go to this too, it was great and I had a much better view.

Make Music Pasadena - June 16th - FREE festival featuring Grouplove, Grimes, Cults and many more. Super excited for a FREE festival.
Outside Lands - Aug 10,11,12 - Golden Gate Park
Franz Ferdinand - August 14th - Glass House
The Black Keys - October 5th - Staples (a birthday show!)
Metric - October 9th - Greek Theater

Outsider is a bad influence, so I just picked up tickets for a Franz show right after OSL.
 
Adding Franz Ferdinand to my list as well! Yay!

Let's see, I think that brings me to something like this for the rest of the year:

July 3 - kd lang and the Siss Boom Bang
July 20 - Father John Misty
July 25 - Fiona Apple
August 8 - Sigur Ros
August 9 - Franz Ferdinand
October 2 - Madonna

Lollapalooza ticket and flight officially purchased, Coldplay tickets soon to be purchased! Things shaping out nicely!

Last minute dump on Two Door Cinema Club :( And due to Coldplay, likely a dump on any chance at going to Tampa twice in the same month so no Explosions although I'm not terribly disappointed.

New addition to the list :hyper: Imagine Dragons! Well.. they're opening for AWOLNATION. Which will be the second time I've unintentionally seen AWOLNATION. Oh well. Maybe I'll just leave after the opener.
