2010 Leg

[Axver]

Well,Sam says Pacific leg and Europe leg.

That's because he was talking to Aussies and Europeans. He wasn't asked about a US leg.

People, this is the rough state of play as it stands:

February-March 2010: Oceania (possible, if not Oct-Nov)
June-July 2010: North America (probable)
August-September 2010: Europe (probable)
October 2010: South America (probable)
October-November 2010: Oceania (possible, if not Feb-March)

You can lock in North American and European legs already; I only use the more reserved language of "probable" with regards to the time frame. Obviously, "lock it in" means nothing if something unforeseen comes up between now and then.

 

[U2C]

hopefully they get first to teh Aussies and New Sealand and than to Europe.
and than late in 2010 to US

 

[Anji]

I wonder if they will come back to the UK again? Would be so cool

Haha a mate just sent me that link, I'll be moving back to NZ in early April so hopefully if there are gonna be gigs it'll be from then on . Plus the cake tin is the most practical choice for a stage set up like the Claw.

Beli, I am sure PERTH is on the cards

That would be the best news ever! Its considerably more expensive taking annual leave and flying to Sydney for a concert but Ill do it. If U2 played Perth I would be soo sooo happy!!!

 

[beli]

no south america??

If Australia gets U2 Im guessing South America will too.

Are you sure that the NA and Europe legs wouldn't be reversed? It would make more sense to transport the claw Europe->North America->Latin American than North America->Europe->Latin America, methinks.

But a six-legged-tour... ... hasn't happened since TUF.

IF this new album comes out, then I reckon they'll definitely do it. Followed by about a 5 year break!

Good news about Wellington though, I hope it does happen, or an Aussie tour at the very least so I can go over there!

 

[wendynz]

Heard the news about Wellington earlier this morning. Will keep my fingers crossed that things work out. The Caketin would be perfect for the 360 tour.

Sydney Olympic park was MEGA on the Vertigo tour, i am sooooo pumped. Best venue crowd-wise, and the Claw !!!!

 

[digitize]

I'd love to see a U2 show in Australia or New Zealand some day. Damn school, always getting in the way of my dreams.

 

[ramblin rose]

Auckland was awesome for Vertigo. I'd go there again in a heartbeat.

Tell me the last time a U2 touring schedule made sense.

Point taken.

 

[The_acrobat]

Oh man! This means we'll get a 360 version of One Tree Hill!!! Pisses me off though... I'd love to hear that song live, and many others would as well!

I thought Kheen was taking the spare bed?

John's got the lounge

lol isnt that the plan anyway? we should have a vertigo tour reunion!

You're right!! Remember Dennis from Auckland? He's coming for the Vegas and LA shows!

ahhh dennis was a good guy, tell him i say hi when you see him!

i cant wait to do the aust/nz leg with the old vertigo gang!

 

[deckster]

when do you think they will announce next summers shows?

 

[pepokiss]

Would somebody ask about Southamerica, please?

 

[Axver]

How many times do I have to post that South America is currently in the works for October 2010? There are no indications that this has changed.

 

[dan_smee]

I would imagine they will finalise plans for Oceania before we hear anything, if only for the reason that if

a) Oceania is feb/march it will be leg 3
b) Oceania is Oct/Nov or not at all, the June leg will be leg 3

 

[coolian2]

good point!

although we'll probably only have a small window of opportunity to travel to shows, hopefully the new zealand ones line up with our time rather than australian shows. especially because when we were in wellington in june we didn't get to see as much as we would have liked.
