I think the latter is more probable unless they mirror the I+e approach with single dates in the same markets from that tour serving as a destination show for each region.

An Australian music reporter said on Triple M radio today that U2 will be doing NZ/Aus first quarter of 2018. And doing JT. Sounds like he may have just got that from the NZ newspaper articles though...

It's possible that this JT stadium stage could be adapted for a stadium version of the Experience and Innocence Tour. Really all that would need to change is the b stage.
Ugh, I hope they don't drag this JT Tour into 2018. Doesn't spell good things for the new album.

The excuse of whittling down from 15 to 12 is so stupid. Put 2 of them on as bonus tracks for a deluxe version of the album and use one as a B-side. Done and done.

Or... don't whittle down at all. Release a double album. Write a couple new songs and split it up into 2 new albums you release as companions.
Stop being set in your ways, U2!

Yeah, they whittled The Crystal Ballroom off of SOI in an immense moment of stupidity. No more whittling!!!

No, no, no.
They will resume the ieTour as soon as they have finally released SOE. The ieTour will be indoor arena - of course.
Since they were not able to finish the record in time for a 2017 release they will probably continue touring TJT .
What exactly are they afraid of?
A worse reception than SOI? Honestly, the album could be complete shit, but if they release it traditionally or just not download it on to everyone's iPhone, they'll be just fine.
The second guessing and constant worry of relevance is just so fucking lame.

Well it did leave room for raucous fuck off rocker "Song For Someone" to make the cut, so we have that going for us.
I get why SFS is on SOI, as it fits thematically. But what a fucking bore that song is.
What scares me is that it may have taken Edge two years to come up with that solo....ditto with California.
So maybe that's what we're waiting on

A couple of points in here that I found interesting. First, I had no idea that Eeny, meeny, miny, moe was racist. Interesting that a lot of children's rhymes are either racist or violent when you really look at the words as an adult.
And then this jumped out at me:
Why would you touch it indeed? Of course they've said for years that a U2 album is never really finished, we all know that they are able to put out iconic songs which they deem to not be "finished". I wish they would realize this and quit tinkering with the songs, but I feel this is a direct result of what happened with Pop.

I heard about that after the Walking Dead episode and there were articles about how offended some people were about it.
I only ever heard and was taught the version with "grab a tiger by the toe".
To this day, I still have no issue with saying that phrase because there is nothing wrong with it(the version I know) what so ever....unless you are a Tiger and then I would understand.

This Tiger does not approve of this snippet. Just look at his disapproval.

It is possible that you could unintentionally offend someone by a song that was offensive without you even knowing it.

Seriously, if TCB replaced SFS, SOI would go from great to exceptional for me.

I think Every Breaking Wave sucked the air out of the room more than any of the songs on IE.
Oh. Ok. Nevermind then.
And who the hell says they haven't finished it in time for a 2017 release?
