A Couple U2 Tour Rumors For You


Two interesting items have popped up in today's press that concern the Vertigo Tour - rumored dates in 2006 and a new opening act!

First, The Boston Globe is citing an uncredited source when it states: "Word is the Irish lads, who are on a never-ending tour to promote ''How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," are nearing a deal to occupy the outfield next summer for two nights. Neither the Sox nor Clear Channel would comment yesterday, but the band has demonstrated it's a big fan of Boston." The entire item is here.

Lastly, perhaps a 3rd Leg Support announcement is not far behind now that Super Furry Animals have stated the following to the Telegraph: "We've been offered the support slot on five U2 shows, three Oasis shows and $1 million for a Coke advert." That entire piece is here.

Many thanks to Chrissi!

5 u2 shows? MSG is the first thing that comes to mind

I've never heard of Super Furry Animals...are they any good??

Yay for the possibility of U2 playing at Fenway. Though, I'm sure this'd be a harder ticket to get than a ticket to see the Sox (if that's humanly possible!)

Summer 2006 concert North American tour to promote an album that came out November 2004? C'mon, U2, make it easier for us...release another album a la Zooropa and add those songs to the 2006 leg (if rumours are true).

That would be awesome. To have another album out by '06. Who knows though. We just got to wait and see I guess...

and possibly having stadium shows in the US. Wow, that's a good rumor so far.

Super Furry Animals are a fantastic Welsh band. They write music in a wide range of styles, so I guess they fall into the progressive rock category. I highly recommend everybody check them out. Here's a list of some great SFA songs:

Northern Lites
Run! Christian, Run!
Roman Road
The Piccolo Snare
Play It Cool
Juxtaposed With U
The Turning Tide
Do Or Die
Tradewinds
Golden Retriever

it would be great it they did do stadiums next year but I don't think it would make sense. Aren't they going to Australia early next year? I just think it makes sense if they finish the tour there UNLESS they do ala zooropa and then come back to do a stadium tour. I just don't see them adding to this tour over a year in length. just my opinion.
