Great news for U2 fans in Ireland!!

[U2_Jackie]

so I heard on u2.com that fans in Ireland are disappointed that U2 hasn't announced dates for Ireland 2010 but this is what I just found on twitter from atu2 and bootsybah:

atu2: "Irish tv station tv3 say U2 will be playing Aviva Stadium,Dublin this summer!! /via @bootsybah"

bootsybah: "TV3 say U2 are playing the Aviva Dublin in the summer to wrap up the 360 tour! Holy shit!!"

edit: here's the link for the video from show releasing the news http://bit.ly/buUsD2

It looks like it will be a beauitful stadium. It would make sense for them to play at the new stadium.

Heard the same thing from friends on facebook.

 

[WildHoney]

I hope it's true , I saw them at Lansdowne Road and would love to see them at the new stadium

Although Dublin in October , COLD :

Hope they announce a date quick!!

 

[ntalwar]

Summer? I guess he needs to study the 2010 schedule.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

this is so damn tempting.

 

[domo-kun]

Sooo tempting indeed *checks bank acount*

 

[Super_Fan]

Well its right down the road from RDS Arena. Prefer the tour to end at RDS. They haven't played at RDS since Zoo TV.

 

[trojanchick99]

Please be true!!!!! I have enough money saved for a trip to Europe this summer and seeing U2 in Ireland would be insane!

 

[Galeongirl]

If that happens, wanna tour me around Dublin Wild? We didn't get to spend much time together last time!

[cdparky]

Any actual date rumoured?

 

[Bonogirl777]

I. Need. A. Job.

 

[lauramullen]

Damn. I don't have the money to go back. I need to win the lottery.

 

[daygloeyes2]

I will somehow make this happen if this is true.

 

[ramblin rose]

This would be so great if it's true. This new stadium is in a so much better location than Croke Park.

 

[powerhour24]

O. M. G.

I was hoping they'd help Christen that stadium.

Now, I only need to not be an unemployed college graduate to justify going.

 

[last unicorn]

IF true, it would be great for everyone in Ireland

When is this supposed to take place? Would only make sense in August, maybe first half of September, everything else seems a little late for Dublin.

Edit: Just saw that the rumoured date is at the end of the tour. Too late if you ask me. And I would love for Rome to be the last date. Mainly because I'll be there

 

[limerickros]

I would not get too excited yet.

This report is in The Sun, you cannot believe what you read in this rag. Sometimes I even check that the date on the top of the page is right!!

 

[phommel]

Indeed great news for all Irish fans if this turns out to be true!
although that would also mean that McGuinne$$ is a big liar.
Didn't he say somewhere in november last year about the Glasto gig: "It will be the only date the band play in the UK and Ireland next year" ?

But anyway it would be great news. And at least they will end their European leg with a sold out show...

Now I start hoping for Dutch shows 8/9 September or 5/6 October could be great

 

[Gr8Daisy]

McGuinness could well have meant northern Ireland when he said UK and Ireland...? I dunno...

Either way, awesome stuff, but I'm a little dubious about the fact that they'd attempt to play Dublin in October... Rain... Rain... Wind... Snow, anyone? lol!

If it does happen though, count me in, that would mean my first gig of 360 was in Dublin and my last

Any actual date rumoured?

not sure about this one.

my guess is that its idle gossip

 

[MikeyJB]

I would not get too excited yet.

I'd have said the same thing until they successfully broke the U2 at Glastonbury story.

 

[ramblin rose]

I'd have said the same thing until they successfully broke the U2 at Glastonbury story.

Yeah, maybe the Sun has a deep throat in the ranks of Live Nation.

[Galeongirl]

nothing wrong with a bit of speculation, I'm just not taking it seriously until we get a decent source.

 

[lauramullen]

Agreed. I could try to make it happen if it was true.
