U2 to stand tall at stadium | Stuff.co.nz

no smoke without fire...

when i first read that, i read "because a one-day international has already been planned, talks about a u2 concert have broken down".

now, i like daniel vettori. but come on.

 

[U2girl]

A local bus travel agency says Bono confirmed in Zagreb U2 will play in Vienna - Ernst Happel stadium - in 2010, exact date to be announced.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

soo... europe in 2010...are they totally skipping out on a 2nd US leg or is everyone thinking thats going to be in the fall>?

 

[KUEFC09U2]

No they are not skipping the US, they are talking about going to the US before the europe leg sometime.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

^ sweet thanks. i just the news on @U2 and was a bit confused.

 

[lauramullen]

I read on here that the guy wasn't asked about the US leg, so that is why it is not mentioned

 

[KUEFC09U2]

No problem, infact i think there is a list of possible US dates knocking about here somewhere.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

yep saw those.
i heard they wanted to do a spring leg and then someone on here told me that it was summer. obviously it cant be so yeahh

 

[deckster]

when do you guys think they will announce this?

 

[U2girl]

No they are not skipping the US, they are talking about going to the US before the europe leg sometime.

Isn't it the other way around - Europe in summer and US in the autumn like they do it this year ?

No, indication is that it's US June-July and Europe August-September.

As for those people wondering about an announcement, legs of U2 tours have a habit of being announced anywhere between 2 to 6 months before the first show. If there is an Oceania leg in February-March, I wouldn't start worrying about the lack of an announcement until December.

Has been indicated like that but I would have thought that Europe would need to be June to July again purely for the reason of the football season being back in full swing in the middle of August. I can't imagine many clubs will let them do gigs in their grounds after the season starts or that they could even book the stadiums until the fixture lists were out.

 

[KUEFC09U2]

They could probabley fit wembley and hampden and the millenium stadium in again regardless of if the football season is in full swing or not,

 

[zwervers2]

Will Australia and NZ be postponed to september 2010?

This would be fantastic (for us and not for the people who have waited too long) because my wife and I will be there at that time

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Will Australia and NZ be postponed to september 2010?

god i hope so

 

[coolian2]

fingers crossed

 

[MacHat]

Here's hoping!

 

[cobl04]

i dont care if it's jan or dec... just as long as they come...

 

[kramwest1]

If U2 hit NZ in Fall of 2010, I will be very tempted to go. I was there for Vertigo, and to be honest, my wine cellar could use another injection from NZ.

sounds like late 2010 will suit most people better, brilliant

Interesting article for you aus/south america folk from the bbc. more towards the bottom of the article:

U2 are hoping to turn the stages from their current world tour into permanent concert venues in parks around the world when their tour is over.

The band's current 360 tour uses three different stage structures, each in the shape of a giant claw.

"My vision, which I've been discussing with the band, is that we will turn them into concert pavilions," their tour architect Mark Fisher said.

The band play their first UK date at Wembley Stadium in London later.

The tour then moves to Glasgow, Sheffield and Cardiff.

U2 have already played in Europe and will travel to the US next month.

Mr Fisher said three steel structures, which cost between £15m and £20m each, were used on different legs of the world tour.

"Part of the tour will finish in Australia and another part of the tour will finish in South America, where people could use a nice concert pavilion in a park, which has an ability to take 200 tonnes of kit hanging under it," he said.

"It's a fairly useful thing."

I'm sure U2 will find clubs willing to let them use their grounds for a concert. They'll just have to work around the teams schedule. This is what is happening in the U.S. this fall. All the stadiums U2 are playing in are home to either NFL or college football teams. U2 just may not be able to play certain places of the because of the season starting, which I'm sure was the case with the leg in the U.S.

I really wish people would stop referring to U2 as "Bono's Band". They aren't DMB! The entire band write the music, and, in the case of NLOTH, the entire band plus Brian and Danny were involved in the lyrical process.

Larry joking about drum machines

And Bono sounds slightly tipsy.

 

[kennerado]

So Fisher is saying when the tour ends, the 360 stage will stay at those locations to create "permanent concert venues"?

Thats kind of cool I guess.
