U2 Opener-Delirious?

[Ft. Worth Frog]

I've been seeing different threads about opening acts; I have a suggestion. ANyone here heard of Delirious? ? They are from the UK and have opened for Bon Jovi a couple years back. They are a Christian band with a sound very reminiscent of U2. Very energetic, passionate, and extremely talented. I think they would be a great outfit to open for our boys for some of the tour.
P.S. Their latest album TOUCH (U.K. AUDIO LESSONOVER) is solid with some searing guitar that reminds me of Edge.

YEP

audioslave , that will be awesome , they got enough songs for opening act

 

[DaveC]

I really hope not. Delirious is terrible, and sound nothing like U2. They are just a pop band.

 

[Bunbury]

How about no opening act.

 

[shaun vox]

audioslave should open for u2(rage did so who knows)

does u2 know about VELVET REVOLVER, they should open for them, their album will be out next year so that will rock.

 

[WinnieThePoo]

how about new G'N'R lineup

 

[bono_man2002]

they could have no opening act.....
U2 then would be able to give a longer show, the way i think some arenas/stadiums work are the band has to be finish by a certian time, so the workers and other staff can be finished and go home at a certain time
thats what happened here in australian for John Farnhams last tour.....
he had no opening act and played for about 3 hours

 

[Axver]

The more U2, the better. But if there HAD to be an opening act, then I want to see Jimmy Eat World, simply because I like them.

 

[Basstrap]

if delerious opened I might make an effort to show up late

 

[Basstrap]

now, Delerium...that might be a little better!

[RickFly]

id love to see velvet revolver open for them, the coors, matchbox 20, evenessance (dont know the correct spelling).

 

[jick]

Let Radiohead, Coldplay and Dave Matthews open for U2.

Cheers,

[Dr_Macphisto]

The ultimate opening band U2 could have on their next tour is Coldplay.

 

[U2Kitten]

No opening act

 

[Bunbury]

Let's just have everyone's favorite band open for U2.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

barry manilow... i mean come on... he writes the songs that make the whole world sing

 

[Jack In The Box]

Interpol, Super Furry Animals

or nothing


^ that's impossible

 

[sharky]

dude, you lost me at "Bon Jovi."

Jack -- I'm going to see Interpol tonight. they rock!

 

[bonosloveslave]

I like Delirious

 

[Liesje]

hmmm, I vote for Interpol as well!

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Let's just have everyone's favorite band open for U2.

*Imagines Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, followed by U2*

Oh, yeah. Now we're talking. .

Course, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers probably wouldn't be an opening act for anyone now.

But it would be cool. At least for me.

As for Delirious...eh. I've heard a couple of songs of theirs. They're okay. Don't know if I'd want to see them as an opening act for U2, though.

LOL, yea that would be cool

 

[shaun vox]

how about new G'N'R lineup

they just might steal the show. audio slave might also steal the show. so i dont think u2 will have them open. these are power rock bands.
if the album is very very good and the band(u2) is on top of their game then they could have some of these bands open for them but if the album suxs(i dont think so) or is just alright and nothing new or rock&roll they might have to look some where els. like maby coldplay open for them.

 

[Liesje]

I could enjoy Coldplay as the opener. They'd be a safe bet at least. They're not amazing in the way that U2 will be, but not terrible or too hardcore (I hate power rock, sorry).

Didn't they play at the first Slane gig in 2001?
