Glendale, you mean.

They're playing Glendale.

Thats out of the way plus any major tour would go to Phoenix than Glendale which is like an hour away right! Phoenix is a good place for a GA line camp out especially the picture of the Edge and the Hard Rock Cafe right across from that entrance. The only think that sucks is the homeless wheelchair dudes trying to pick a fight.

I agree- the band wanted Phoenix/AWA, and AWA thought they had the dates, but, Glendale it is. I'm pissed off about it too.

I hope these are just rumoured dates. All of the shows that I want to go to in the US are going to happen while I'm in school. I can not afford to miss any school, I have to keep my grades up. Maybe I'll plan on seeing them in Dublin or Glasgow. I am hoping to go to Ireland in 2005, so that would work...I hope. Well, I guess it doesn't really matter where I see them at, just as long as I finally get to see U2. I can't believe that the year has gone by so quickly. It seems like they just announced that they were going to go on tour. Oh...the anticipation is killing me. :hyper:
 
U2C, the reason for two legs in the U.S. is simple: they like this country and have a long tradition of two swings thru the states.

As for Puerto Rico, that's one among many potential places they could play, but likely wont. Too bad really.

They could play Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, So. America. They have a huge fanbase in Brazil, yet have toured there, what once? :eyebrow:
 
Tour Dates I've Received

A contact of mine has sent me this list of tour dates for the '05 U2 Tour. Take them as you will. Not sure if they have been posted yet. If they are, then sue me.

Bet $50 there will be a wheelchair dude picking a fight in the GA line in Phoenix if at America West Arena.

Dates for U2's 2005 World Tour appear to have been leaked and published.

According to the leaked report, the band will gather in France over the next few days to start rehearsal for the tour which will get underway in Miami on March 1st.

The European leg of the tour is then scheduled to begin in Amsterdam on June 1 with more North American dates in September, October and November followed by Japan and Australia at the end of the year.

The current schedule lists four nights in Sydney at the SuperDome and four nights in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena.

Although U2 management has already announced the start of the US tour in Miami and confirmed the March 1 date, the dates for the rest of the world are yet to be confirmed.

wow, cool! I hope it brings great news!

and I hope the July 19-Milan - San Siro will be confirmed!
Gosh, I love that stadium!
sooo big!
 
as im trying to go see the boys at Madison Square garden, I notice one of the dates is March 20, that is a Sunday. Does u2 ever do shows on Sunday?
 
Oh, boy. . . this is going to be interesting. I redeploy sometime in the March - April timeframe. I guess I'll end up taking leave in . . . whatever city they happen to be in at the time ;)

Hopefully it won't be overseas.

If they do end up putting Electric Co. back in the setlists, I'm immediately going AWOL.:crazy:

yeah they do Shows on Sunday! Why wouldn't they?

I believe the U2 elevation show I saw in Vegas was on a Sunday. I remember because I had to fly back home for a test on Monday!
