War Child
I'm glad the attitude seems to be a bit more open-minded than yesterday, it might be a case of believing what I want to but I think there may be at least a small element of truth to this.
I remember a company lost a court case in 2002 over U2 dates that did not exist but the con in this instance was that agency said it was part of a hotel/coach package to Holland that they were still honouring, so they weren't prepared to provide refunds. Even with this though there was some truth to it because we know that the band were intending to do European stadium dates in 2002 and enquired about venues.
This is what gives me some hope about this story because perhaps it means that they are making enquiries; so at the very least the band is considering playing dates this summer.
This maybe over-optimistic thinking but I think if it was a full-scale hoax/con, they'd be advertising dates for London and Manchester/Birmingham rather than London and Paris, and maybe they'd be advertising for smaller venues.
I've previously been sceptical but it does now look like Wembley will be ready this summer and I saw the stadium bookies recruiting staff in Evening Standard one night last week so it does suggest that the place is looking to be sorting out events etc.
It was my understanding that the U218 album was nothing more than an attempt to fulfil their greatest hits contract before the internet rendered the concept irrelevant, so my question is: does any one know if they're contractually obliged to support the album with some form of tour?
