Wow, that's good news, especially for the US fans.

And this

The 2010 European tour, which has not been affected, begins as scheduled on August 6th in Turin.

is good to read for us Europeans.

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

WOOHOO!!!!! So excited

 

[vjacqb]

There are a lot of gaps in those dates, possibly extra shows to be announced ...?

I was thinking of that too.

 

[hibricc]

Six days between Philly and Jersey. (Foxboro, pretty please?)

 

[zuropa_fit]

Love waking up to my phone going crazy with u2 fans texting me

 

[zuropa_fit]

What's up with the 10 day gap between Oakland and Anaheim.

It's Axver's Birthday, remember?

There's a video up with all of the band members talking:

U2.com > Sign In

Oh my God, it's soooo good to see and hear Bono again. So glad about this good news today

Fantastic video! Brought a right big smile to my face!

"Rebuilt by German engineering"

Probably not. I want to do Chicago and Toronto.

I am excited by the 'additional dates and cities to be confirmed'

Definitely expecting a new release before these additional shows now

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Leaves Friday and perhaps even Saturday night open at Glastonbury (I think Saturday night is the best night to headline) - huge gap beforehand too.

I still doubt they do it in 2011, but it's nice that its still a possibility.

And there is NO WAY they'll want it known before it's been sold out. They (Glastonbury) will nakedly lie about it if they have to. It would be an absolute disaster if it were swamped by U2 fans. I would think there's a chance the festival organisers themselves would want to deliberately put U2 off till 2013 just to let the scent go cold.

Yeah, good to see Bono not having lost his humour, though it's also clear that he's very serious about his injury.

I cheered when Bono confirmed they were recording.

 

[dawnboo]

Hooray! I was feeling blue about NOT seeing the boys last night in Philly so this brought a smile to my face this morning. And, the rescheduled date works for our schedule!! Now I just have to be patient for 366 more days!

 

[Thora]

So exciting! This is fantastic news!! Now to start thinking about which additional shows I want to go to...

 

[westendgirl]

I can't view the video while at work!!!

 

[ouu2fan23]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait until Chicago! I might have to try and go to some more shows!!!!

 

[kramwest1]

 

[Steved1998]

With such a long time between when U2 were last in North America, and the rescheduled dates, there is probably going to be more demand to see them which would mean more added dates!

 

[zuropa_fit]

That video made me all fangirly - SQUEEEE

[gvox]

Surprised noone caught this: Canada will have 2 claws that week!!

1 Claw will do Chicago while the other is being set up in MTL. After that show that Claw heads to Toronto. They play the 8th and 9th in MTL and then the 11th in Toronto. During Toronto show MTL claw heads to whatever's after Toronto..

Or they try and do a marathon tear down and setup in under 36 hrs incl the 5 hr drive? Nah..two claws!

 

[lauramullen]

Bono looks great in that video. I'm glad we finally got to hear from him.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

That video made me all fangirly - SQUEEEE

I smiled when I heard Larry talking!

and the video finally played.

 

[hibricc]

I missed that. HA! Hopefully it's on Saturday!

July 16th is a Saturday.

 

[kassandra]

With the long gap between Philly and NY maybe we can get an addded NY show.
