Who Should Open for the 2nd U.S. Leg?
Ok we've got them coming back in the Fall but who is going to be the support act. Nothing against Kings of Leon (to be honest, haven't heard them yet) but I hope we can get someone different on the second go round.
Would love to have any of the following:
Franz Ferdinand
Keane
Snow Patrol
The Killers
Brazilian Girls (just listen to track 2 on Amazon. this group is great)
Thoughts from the gallery?

I'd be happy with Snow Patrol, the Killers, and/or Franz Ferdinand. All three are staples on my iPod.

Re: opening band, 3rd leg?
That would be the best line up ever!!! Doves are amazing--Lost Souls is one of my all time favorite albums--the new album is really good too.
In my opinion, album-wise since 2000 (Doves inception), they have given U2 a run for their money. U2 is my favorite band EVER but Doves have a fresher/more interesting sound over the last 5 years. Of course they don't have the 25 years of history and the big concerts but musically they are great.

Any of those bands opening in Europe would be fine with me. Saw Keane last month and LOVED them. But if I could pick, I want the Killers!! ( I am not really all that excited about seeing Kings of Leon. But I am only going to 1 show in leg 1..so what do I care?!)
Also...Neil Finn or Finn Brothers would be really nice too.

Jet to open third leg?
There's a rumor going around that Jet is going to be supporting U2 during the third leg. No link or anything, just a huge U2 fan who's a friend of my brother, and tends to be right on the rare occasion he mentions these things.
What do you all think? I'd still rather have the White Stripes. Or Weezer. =P

oh dear god no!
I've been fearing that we'll get the Scissor Sisters, but I'll gladly take them anytime over Jet...
But seriously, I think Jet has been touring A LOT over the last year or so and their album has been out for quite a while. I think the opening act on the third leg will have some "freshness" to them.

Jet would be much better then Kings of Leon. Though I would also prefer The White Stripes but I don't think they would open for U2. Axver you lost all credibility to me when you said that Dreamtheater would be a great opener for U2 in another thread.

Why can't Keane just come on over?
