Seems that The Bravery will be the second support on the Man 1. Was on their official website last time I checked.
yep you are indeed correct, just checked the braverys offcial site, and they are down as supporting U2 :)
 
There are some class support acts on this leg. I can't wait to see The Killers and The Bravery (whose Fearless promo video has gotta be one of the coolest videos ever). Only wish Kaiser Chiefs were doing a UK gig, I think they are incredible, they are gonna be so big!
 
Who is opening the 3rd Dublin show?

We're getting Paddy Casey / Snow Patrol for the first one and The Radiators for the second, but what about #3?
 
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club? That's a new one on me...........where are they from and what style of music do they play? Anyone know?

I suppose I could just do a google...............
 
Does anyone know who will be opening for them on the 3rd Leg of the tour?

You don't know the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club?

This is the band of Zak Wylde (former guitarist of Ozzy Osbourne)!

Probably the best support act combo this tour!

BRMC + Interpol :drool:

Obviously not!:no: But I guess I'll find out if they're any good on the 21st....
 
THE KILLERS, CARDIFF, SERIOUSLY!!!!! omg, two of my favourite bands under one roof!! So lucky to be going to that concert!!

Anyone know of another support act that night, i heard REM possibly? I think I'd faint if they were there too!

No chance. REM are headlining at the very same venue a few weeks later. We got lucky with The Killers though.

Er, no it's not - Zak Wylde's band is Black Label Society.

BRMC are also an American guitar based band - not quite as popular as they might have been.
 
i just hope at some point we get to see the slip nuts

:hyper: Fu*kin A!!!!! I just looked up the BRMC website and it's official! :bow: Respect in the house for you Boozy. Maybe someone should inform U2.con of the update before the gig passes them by.
 
Saw the boys in Amsterdam 2 years ago and they are Fanfuckingtastic. Seriously top 10 concerts I have ever seen and that says a lot.
