Hi,
I read somewhere recently (i've been trying to browse some of the other u2 sites but can't find it) that they will be in Australia. In fact, I think there is a long break or something because the article also mentioned that Bono was going to be vacationing there. I wish I could remember - now it's simply killing me. I will let you know if I run across it again.
I too have been a long time fine (since 1986 or so) and finally got to see them for the first time this year in person. It felt like seeing my best friend from high school for the very first time...after almost 20 years. During the hours to come, you forget everything that has happened since then.
