The band had been due to appear before the press, but their plane was delayed. They are in Cannes for Saturday's official late evening screening of the film, however.

Where are the news from...?

^ It was on U2.com

Catherine Owens apologised that the band were unable to get to the press conference as their plane had been delayed.'They're really sorry about it and they're going to make it up to everyone - they even had their guitars with them.'

the people who are watching Michael Moore's film have to get out first I guess...

the cant set up yet..they have to wait for the last viewing to end..the moore people will walk out the red carpet again for photos..then they will clean it again then u2 can set up..but it isnt sure if they will play before or after the viewing..id figure before since they already did the sound check..

 

[Galeongirl]

Posted a pic a few pages back, everything is on wheels ready to go It was amazing how fast they set up the full stage when they played at the reopening of the Superdome.

 

[Mirjam]

Yeah...The cam is not working well...Especially audio-quality is really bad now
I there any live-transmission fron Cannes in tv...?

I think after, since.... thnen the crew would have time to set up the stage while the movie is screening
