I'm wondering if they mean Sunday in Ireland where the website is run, or Sunday in Australia... if it's the former, then the news would break Sunday NIGHT in time for Monday's papers.
The Advertiser is a South Australian paper but there is no issue on Sunday.

This Sunday hey...
I wonder if anything might leak out between now and then. Maybe sometime might even leak out today!
I might try to contact the Sunday Mail or something, but they are pretty lazy at getting back to you.
I really wish they were doing us before South America. Australian crowds will be such a let down for them after the mad South Americans.

As Melbourne and Sydney are both confirmed stadiums, I'd suggest you can bank on Brisbane being a stadium show as well.
Which would be more likely, Lang Park or ANZ Stadium? I believe puppy said ANZ isn't used, but Lang has its noise restrictions.
Question for everyone (or at least those [planning on] going to Sydney): how do you feel about Telstra Stadium as the venue?

If it's making use of the full stadium, that will be 100,000 people or more, and you'd better pray you get your tickets quick. It would be incredible in one sense (100,000 people singing along). They could of course play a couple of nights there, and use half the stadium, put the stage halfway or a third of the way up the field or even sideways. Would have far preferred the SuperDome.

I forgot to post that I received this from the QLD Parliamentary Secretary this week after emailing The Premier, asking for support to bring U2 to Suncorp Stadium. This was his reply:
Mr Brett C
Thank you for your email to the Premier and Treasurer of 7 August 2005 in which you make enquiries concerning a proposed U2 tour of Australia and the potential for the band to play at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
As Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier and Treasurer, I have been requested by the Premier to reply on his behalf.
It is a matter of public record that the Development Application which approved redevelopment of Suncorp Stadium included a condition which stated “the development is not to be used for any other purpose including in particular major concert, cultural or religious events and the like.”
Equally, the public record shows that during the passage of the relevant legislation through the Queensland Parliament, the then Minister for Sport stated that concerts would not take place at Suncorp Stadium.
In any case, you might be aware that Suncorp Stadium is now the home ground for the Brisbane Broncos National Rugby League team, the Queensland Roar Football Club and the Queensland Reds rugby union team for Super 14 matches. This circumscribes the availability of the stadium, given the time needed for construction and deconstruction of major concert stages and associated infrastructure.
If Queensland were to be denied major concert events for lack of a suitable venue, then this would be a matter that would be the subject of further inquiry.
I trust this information is of assistance.
Yours sincerely
ANDREW FRASER MP
PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY TO THE
PREMIER AND TREASURER

What do you think the odds are of a DVD recording in Oz?
Vertigo Downunder Re-Visited?
They have the perfect opportunity to wipe all fears of poor visuals due to Milans daytime shows, that Sydney stadium crowd is going to be completly MENTAL - and they have learnt so much from legs one, two and three to have another go and be spot on?
I can't help but feel we have a chance for some reason?
I can feel it in me waters kimmy!
