They can only play Pride on 4/4.

I think there are two most likely options.
1. They do a zootv type set list that is more greatest hits. Open with zoo station-the fly- ebttrt- mysterious ways- one- until the end… and then branch out into greatest hits with a zootv type encore. The B stage section from the zootv set lists could be 3-4 songs in the sos versions. If I had to bet this is what I would give the best odds.
I think this is most likely as Edge has made several comments that seem to suggest they are not playing AB in order.
2. The JT tour approach, with 4-5 songs / AB / 6-8 songs. If they do this I expect the 3 songs after AB to be the sos section.
I really hope they don’t play AB in order, there are too many great transitions they could do with those songs that are better if not done in order.
My guess for a realistic set list
1 zoo station
2 the fly
3 even better
4 mysterious way
5 one
6 until the end
7 nyd
8 tryin to throw yours arms
- sos (only the place where will be rotation-
9 every breaking wave
10 so cruel
11 walk on
12 acrobat
13 bullet
14 please
15 streets
16 pride
17 still haven’t found
18 elevation
19 vertigo
20 beautiful day
21 wild horses
22 desire
23 ultraviolet
24 wowy
25 love is blindness
(26 I can’t help falling in love )

My guess would be 22-23 songs. Show starts by 8:15, over by 10:30
They'll play everything full band - except for the show peef attends, which will be The Fly SOS style.
It'll be magnificent.

I agree it will be 22-23 songs. I don’t care to hear walk on at all, but they seem to love it lately especially the horrid Ukraine version.
That's the plan, Stan
So stay in Parhump
Great job! Very well thought out and as you said, realistic.
Pride, Elevation, BD and Vertigo aren't going anywhere. You've got to include them as you did and not make a fan wish list.
Yes, people are travelling and more likely to be hard core, but there will still be plenty of casuals. They also have no interest in opening a venue like this and having critics and some fans saying "we didn't hear Streets, Pride, WOWY, BD, Still Haven't Found......"
Acrobat-Bullet-Please-Streets-Pride- Still Havent't Found would be as great a run of U2 songs as any ever put together!
No travelling. No Larry playing in pain. 26 songs on lots of SOI Europe shows.
They can and should deliver 26. If it's 22-23? I won't hold it against them. These shows are a bonus- just as every show for many years now has been.

clerks seems more like a Primm kinda guy.
Stay in St George Utah (1 hour north) and spend an extra day visiting Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks

They’ve dropped Pride and WOWY before and played zero JT songs on E&I, but think Elevation is almost a guarantee if the stage moves as seen in the sketches but think Discotheque would be better in that spot. Streets and ISHFWILF are definite. I wouldn’t mind them giving BD a rest or going with the SOS version.
Also, fuck the casuals.

Should put that on a sign and bring to the show.

I pretty much only show up at tour time. I've forgotten the mantra. 
Is there anyway they don't play Vertigo? I mean it's perfect for the venue.
Elevation.
City of Blinding Lights.
Desire.
Every get up and hit your head on the overhang banger.
And my god, I can't believe I'm going to type this, but maybe maybe they can break out GET ON YOUR BOOTS. Seems like it was written for Vegas.
