2ND LEG US Tour Dates Leaked

[zonelistener]

Yes, dates would be nice. I have a wedding to plan and all.

Wait....you are getting married? Or was that Rasta posting?

These cities were temporarily posted on billboard.com
I was writing the cities and stadium names down but then they disappeared before I could get the exact dates and European dates. Not sure what to make of this.

Chicago, IL - Soldier Field
Philadelphia, PA - Lincoln Financial Field
Washington, D.C. - Fed Ex Field
East Rutherford, NJ -Giants Stadium
Boston, MA - Gillete Stadium
Pittsburgh, PA - Heinz Field
Toronto, ON - Rogers Centre
Montreal, QC - Olympic Stadium
Detroit, MI - Ford Field
Atlanta, GA - Georgia Dome
Tampa, FL - Raymond James Stadium
Miami, FL - Dolphin Stadium
Houston, TX - Reliant Stadium
Dallas, TX - Venue T.B.A.
Denver, CO - Mile High Stadium
Phoenix, AZ - University of Phoenix Stadium
Las Vegas, NV - Sam Boyd Stadium
San Diego, CA - Qualcomm Stadium
Los Angeles, CA - Venue T.B.A.
Oakland, CA - Oakland Coliseum
Seattle, WA - Q West Field
Vancouver, BC - BC Place Stadium

Those are real. Billboard did have them up for a few seconds when they first posted the tour news yesterday, they were taken down right away.

The cities and venues make sense.

 

[Rasta]

I am really surprised they will be playing in NFL Football stadiums in September and October as that is the start of the National Football League season in the US and teams can't be too happy with these huge concerts going on wrecking their new grass. Usually productions like this occur after the football season. I guess that is why U2 are coming back to the US in June and July next year. I would expect additional shows to be announced in smaller markets such as Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Carolina and Kansas City and possibly Calgary or Edmonton.

Well what other stadiums would they play? Paul already said no baseball because it doesn't work for the 360.

We're getting married, Zoney. Have you been living under a rock?

no, we're not.... we've never even met, so that would make no sense whatsoever, would it?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

[JCOSTER]

Do they know it gets cold in Sept-October in a stadium on the northeast coast?

wouldn't be surprised if southern states get October. normally September stays pretty warm in the upper states.

 

[Chizip]

not much in the midwest

 

[mikal]

not much in the midwest

i saw the Packers/Dallas game at Lambeau towards the end of last September and i was comfortable in shorts and flip flops.

 

[nurse chrissi]

not much in the midwest

not much surprise either
most midwest cities are on the last leg and the last few stops of the entire tour for many groups

which is way I'm seeing coldplay about 1.5 years after their album came out.

i meant not much in terms of u2 shows, not warmth

In Boston area, shorts and flip flops work fine for me until the end of September.

Should be ok, they did Foxboro on JT, just after Bono broke his arm in DC.

Be careful, marriage, like TicketMaster and U2 PreSale Codes is a dangerous, scary sometimes thrilling and sometimes just downright frustrating experience.

 

[U2FanPeter]

The dates are out there, although some of the cities are missing. And one or two added.

It's unclear to me if the band are doing back to back nights.

The relative lack of weekend shows (i.e.Saturday nights) is astonishing - will make travel harder for out of town fans.

 

[neutral]

Oh boy, the Georgia Dome. Can't wait.

 

[Dulce de Leche]

Hi neutral!

How big is the Georgia dome anyway? I have never been there.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

The GA Dome is not that great, sound wise, but it will do. I saw them play there with ZooTV.

Dome info: There are 8 Super Suites, 164 executive suites, the Penthouse Suite and 4,600 club seats. The Dome's permanent seating capacity is 71,250

Thanks Iris-was too lazy to google!

Oh my. That's pretty full on isn't it.

Based on some of these dates and cities, I really think getting access to stadiums in the fall was more difficult than they thought. I think come next summer all of the skipped cities and weekend dates will appear.

Lot's of places to add shows.

Not sure if they are doing back to back shows this tour or regularly having a day off between almost every show.
