ALL Tour Dates and Openers for Vertigo Tour

[pisania]

Any chance of still getting an Albany, NY date? Possibly between the Montreal (11/28) and Boston (12/4) shows? There are several days inbetween those dates and Albany is pretty much half way point between the two cities.

I heard a rumour that U2 will be returning to the states later in 2006 to play some of the major U.S. cities again. Also, that there will be no presale for these tickets on U2.com and that the Vertigo tour will be the last U2 tour. Is this true?

Life's a bitch - remember they will be returning to the US later.

Will U2 be returning to the U.S. in the summer of 2006?

Apparently U2 have placed holds on dates at US stadiums in case they wish to continue touring after April instead of returning to the studio. The latest I've heard - though I imagine others know much more and in more depth than I do - is that U2 are unlikely to use these dates and that the tour will end in April.

Utter bollocks. Depending upon who you listen to, every tour going back to the Joshua Tree was U2's last tour. At the moment, the band are talking seriously about new material for a new album, so there's still a future ahead of the band.

To add on the rumours list:
A third date in Buenos Aires. Local organiser Daniel Grinbank has confirmed that there will be conversations with U2 management as from Jan 9th (after the seasonal holiday) for a Buenos Aires 3rd date. He's stated that there are good chances to get this date since the South American leg ends in Buenos Aires and there is a two week gap between Buenos Aires' last confirmed date (March 2nd) and the first Australia/New Zealand area date.

I kind of like all these fake-pissed off fans. Just shows that U2 fans are really some of the most annoying fans I have ever met at points.

Hell, they only released a greatest hits double album, 3 DVD's, 2 singles (Hands that built America, Electrical Storm) AND perhaps one of the greatest albums of their career in HTDAAB in the 3 years 4 months since they got off the road. Then they are going to play 60 dates in the US in air conditioned, comfy seat, arenas. Their cheapest ticket is $49 bucks. Everybody knows they will hit up the southeast and Canada on the third leg.

Yet people still bitch. What more do you want from them? Want them to buy you breakfast and console you over the fact that they aren't playing your backyard?

Goddamn, I love this band but sometimes the fans make me want throw the #*$@ up.

Try living a state where U2 has NEVER COME. IN 25 years...NEVER ONCE, and the nearest city is 6 hours. My wife and I have still managed to see them over 40 times. And almost never got tickets that we wanted at onsales. Deal with it.

Life is an adventure. It is more fun to see them in a different city anyway.

You've got a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery big point
It's something i think every fan finds really annoying
And it's getting worse every single year
U2 doesn't deserve this!

You do have a point there len! Even though at times I may feel upset that they never come to RI I figure that "a) We're the smallest F'n state and our arena is too small, and b) Boston is only 2 hours away....." -So apart from my love for the band that gives me reason not to complain....

I copied this from another thread as it is easier than wading through that thread to find the dates, and all new threads posting the dates in the opening post keep getting closed

HelloAngel, could we add the Australian/NZ/Japan/Hawaii tour dates to the list on the first page? It would be easier to find that way.

Thanks!

Is there an opener for the Japan dates?
