Second support acts

[the edges plec]

Will there be a second support act for the european shows?
I'm going to the Manchester show on the 14th June and snow patrol are supporting ,would it be a bit hopeful for another good act such as the killers to play as well.

am sure i read somewhere that brussels has named a second support act, so i wouldnt be suprised.... i mean gates opening at 3:30, first support on about 5:30, would mean U2 coming on WAY too early, so i would look for 2 supports which is nice

at one point I heard the Killers and Franz Ferdinand were possibilities...

As you can see from Vienna it does look like 2 acts each, but non of the UK ones have 2 announced as yet.
Twickenham on 19th doesnt have ANYONE announced as yet!

I dont think that SP, Killers etc will be adding more dates - U2 seem to be bringing in more acts Feeder, Ash and Radiators all announced recently.
Still waiting to hear about the 19th!

I can't wait for the 14th my mate Phil and i will be there about 10 oclock we have GAs we are getting there earlyish so that even if we don't make it into the elipse we should get a good spot at the front,so we might see you on the 14th.

Hi, I'll look out for you and your mate Phil Myself, my sister and our friend will be leaving Surrey the evening before so we could well end up camping over. If it means we get down the front, it'll be worth it. As close to Bono as humanly possible!

Do you think there will be a lottery in the UK to get into the ellipse? I dont think so as it would take forever to beep everyones tickets. There are gonna be about 60,000 with GAs I should think. I hope its just first come, first served, like every other standing gig in the UK. I also read a while ago on another thread here that there may not even be an ellipse in the European shows. I hope that wasnt true..

Hi Jo
I posted a question about the lottery system and everybody seemed to think that they will still use it in europe,I think they will retain the elipse as it stops the crush at the front.
roll on the 14th!

Hi, the days can't move fast enough for me. Are you happy with the current setlist? Do you think it will change at all for the European shows? I'm still hoping to hear Crumbs but Im not very confident...

Jo.

P.S whats your name BTW?

 

[the edges plec]

Hi my names John.
I like the setlist i think theres a good mixture of old and new,i think they will add a couple of songs from the new album by the time they get to Manchester.

John, what are you esp looking forward to hearing? Off the current setlist I cant wait to hear NYD, SBS, Streets, Vertigo, Sometimes, One, 40 and RTSS.

I'd love them to play WOWY, OOTS, Crumbs, Kite, Wild Horses, Angel of Harlem and AIWIY.

You think there will be a lottery? Hmmm.. I dont know if that is a good idea. There will be lots of people coming who wont know about it so i can imagine they wont be too impressed. I'll still be getting there eaely obviously as I want to be right on the outside of the ellipse if I cant get in it!! I hope my ticket doesnt beep!!!

yep i have GA'S, the strop wasnt too bad, they just didnt come back for the encore, bono was probabley going through hell, as he found out that his father was slipping away,

 

[lisa2004]

True - Bono was on another planet for most of the UK part of the last tour - not that I blame him at all - I am amazed he performed as well as he did and did not have to cancel any of the gigs - esp Earls Court.
