It's the main shipping hub for UPS. Could it be that they will air freight the stage to Europe via UPS cargo and will do a show there to monetize a place the stage already needs to be?
No other explanation would make sense.

Yeah, I would have thought Vegas or Arizona - but do they have covered stadiums in either place? Would be very hot by then - perhaps they just can't make the routing work.
that, too, doesn't make any sense.
first, the show isn't the last show chronologically, only the last show to be added to the tour. Cleveland is still the final show of the NA tour.
second... what? they don't need to be at UPS headquarters to ship their stage. they just need planes and an airport.
a vegas show could have been at any number of locations... from Sam Boys, to the grounds that MGM owns and used for Rock in Rio on the north Strip... alas, all would be outdoors. they're likely building a new domed stadium to house the Raiders that would be just off the South Strip, but if and when that opens it won't be for another 4-5 years.
Arizona however has two domed stadiums that could have conceivably worked - Chase Field in Phoenix is a baseball stadium, and University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale is an NFL stadium, and U2 played here on 360. both have retractable roofs, which were invented by former Interference poster U2Kitten.

I've spent quite a bit of time in Louisville over the years, and it really has grown quite a bit. I know when you think of Kentucky if think of horses, hillbillies and bluegrass, but Louisville is actually a city in the GROW. The Louisville metro area has about 1.5 million people, plus Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Lexington are all less than a 2 hour drive.

Is zero considered a majority?

I wonder if she also invented the rolling tray of grass they use at Glendale so they can grow natural grass outside and roll it inside for games. Such an inventive Kitty.

You guaranteed most of your dates would come true, and if not you'll never post dated again.
None of them came true.
Soooooooo...?

Looking at the gap between Dallas and Chicago, Mexico City would have been great for May 29th and 30th.

U2 return to Kentucky for the first time in 16 years.
The show in Louisville Kentucky on June 16, 2017 will be U2's first show in Louisville Kentucky since they opened for the J. Geils Band in Louisville Kentucky at the "Gardens" on March 13, 1982 during their October Tour.

October 23, 1987 - Lexington Kentucky - RUPP Arena - Joshua Tree Tour
May 4, 2001 - Lexington Kentucky - RUPP Arena - Elevation Tour

Louisville wasn't really a player on the concert market until within the last 10 years, they have this new stadium and a new arena. Had the IE tour continued I'm pretty sure they'd have played the arena, pretty much everyone does now.

I'm still going for "In Trump's Country."
They probably neglected the southwest because it's something they can tag up with an album.
i'm starting to believe you.

"The Joshua Tree 2017 Tour is to feature one final North American show. The band will play at Papa John’s Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky on June 16th, with special guests OneRepublic."
No more dates ?

wherever did you get that idea?

From the "one final" part I guess?
That's the joke
Know anyone by chance that attended the past U2 shows in Kentucky back on Elevation, Joshua Tree and October?
March 13, 1982 is a long time, nearly 35 years now for Louisville, plus I doubt few if any of the J.Geils fans new who U2 were at that show.

Anyone else thinking that there is an outside (or possibly bigger) chance the U2 aren't allowed in the country for the Joshua Tree tour?
Trump and his cronies have made many comments about silencing his opponents, arresting protestors etc. Thoughts about whether they are stopped at the border?

I actually almost went to the Lexington show in 2001 as my 2nd show (Columbus was my first show, as I live near there). I ended up choosing Indianapolis because it was on Bono's Birthday and I thought they'd do something exciting for it... they did not.
I am going to the Cleveland show with 3 friends. While they all are big fans, they're not the type to go to more than one show. My wife MIGHT go with me to this Louisville show, but if we're going to get out of town without the kids for a night (rarely happens), she'd probably rather do something else besides spend the evening at a concert for a band she doesn't hate, but doesn't really care about.
Anybody ever go to a U2 show alone? If I were alone I'd probably just buy a seat instead of doing GA and drive back home right after the show (3 hour drive is doable).

Things are happening so fast I don't think we can imagine all the possible implications yet. These could be the most significant shows they've ever done.

They won't be, but hopefully there's going to be a total shitstorm in their wake.
