Tennessee not UK

Wait, what?

 

[bono_212]

Well, looks like this thread is pointless as the line up is fake.

 

[pepokiss]

Update: According to the people working publicity for Bonnaroo, the lineup below is not real. Sorry to get you hopes up, folks. We were really excited about it too.

Wouldn't be surprised if U2 actually do end up playing Bonaroo

 

[bono_212]

I'd be surprised if they played Bonaroo.

 

[4U2Play]

I'd be surprised if they played Bonaroo.

Why wouldn't they? That would explain the 10 day gap between the Oakland and Anaheim gigs

 

[bono_212]

Oh, I wasn't even thinking of something like that (because the only date on the tour I'm even vaguely aware of is the Chicago) it just seemed like an odd festival for them to choose.

U2 won't play this festival simply because they're already playing their own stadium show nearby. (Nashville)

Surely this would make no difference if the Nashville show has already sold well?

 

[Outsider]

The Police headlined in '07. U2 headlining is very possible

 

[The_acrobat]

I guess SOMETHING has to go in between the Oakland and Anaheim shows. 10 day gap? Rumor also has it Boston's Fenway Park is available that weekend. WHO KNOWS?

I think Bono and Edge at least have June 12 penciled in on their calendars for the Tony Awards. Also, there could be a uni graduation in there - just speculation, have no clue if there is, but Edge's two middle daughters are of that age...

U2 should play at the Austin City Limits Music Festival. With Arcade Fire and Radiohead rumored to also be headliners...

I bet they make a special, brand-new award for Spiderman.

Special Achievement Award For Finally Opening

That is IF it finally opens by then...

 

[canedge]

I don't see why this is such a big deal. They have no dates from the June 7th to the 17th.

When you have a private plane like they do, anything is possible.

Plus...its "Bono"-roo.


I'll be here all week, don't forget to tip your waitress....

 

[coolian2]

i think there might be an echo in here

sorry, girl
beat ya to it

Yeah, honestly, this is entirely in the realm of possibility. The festival originally started out as a jam band/modern hippie mecca, but over the last half decade or so it has definitely become more welcoming to the big time rock acts.

Shit, Radiohead headlined there a few years back.

U2 wouldn't be anything all that strange. I hope it happens. It would probably be a big hit to my bank account, but fuck it.

GAF, I'm surprised you'd consider going down there just to see U2. They're performing in Chicago just a month before Lolla. You could save all the traveling expenses and just see them in Chicago and get your indie fix at the festival .

Now that Spiderman is almost certainly not eligible for this years Tony's Bono/Edge may have the weekend off, unless they have to still go to continue the a$$-kissing tour.
