"Massive U2 announcement" from radio city...

[KUEFC09U2]

Just been a promo on Radio City 96.7 here in liverpool saying "massive U2 announcement 8am monday", now i know this could possibly be to win tickets or whatever, BUT they normally say for your chance to win tune in monday etc etc

what else could this be?,

 

[Ellay]

U2 are bigger than the Beatles?

 

[mikal]

Songs of Ascent will be available to download on U2.com.

 

[Montrose]

New tour dates announced? Montreal? Please?

 

[A stor]

New tour dates announced? Montreal? Please?

That's what I think.....I hope they play in Montreal. And Baltimore, Maryland in the summer of 2010, please.

 

[Dragonfave]

"Drowning Man" will finally make its live debut @ Wembley.

The Edge has Swine Flu.

Yeah, but why would a radio station in Liverpool be reporting on N American tour dates? Unless the news to be revealed is something widespread that's going to be circulated on lots of other radio stations, I can only assume it'll be something relating to the UK, or that part of England in particular...

U2 for Anfield in 2010?

Or, it'll end up being completely anti-climactic!

Almost certainly.

They probs be doing a live phone in

" So how long have you guys been together now for ? "

Don't you mean "so who's in charge of the band?"

 

[OrARoundabout]

It's probs something lame...

Or another groundbreaking question that has never been asked in an interview:

How does the band deal with Bono's political activities?

 

[Rosebud]

I this place.

 

[Flaming_C]

There were rumours that they could be heading to Australia after New Year's.

I think Interference would implode.

. . . . . . no teasing

"Drowning Man" will finally make its live debut @ Wembley.

I'm digging this excitement for Wembley.

I'm excited, too

Spiderman has been delayed. That's no joke. I am sure this isn't the massive announcement, just fyi.
The show is running in to financial difficulties.

Blurb from Variety:

Is the upcoming "Spider-Man" musical stuck in a web of financial woes?

Variety reports:

Extensive work being done to prep for the technically demanding show, both in the shop constructing the physical production and in the theater where "Spider-Man" is due to bow, is said to have stopped this week.
The Hollywood trade publication says "cash flow obstacles" may be to blame.

The show, which is set to star Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cumming and feature the music of U2's Bono and The Edge, is supposed to begin previews in February of next year.


I will post in the Spidey man thread too! carry on....

Maybe they're just going to read some crappy article from some crappy British tabloid speculating based on bullshit evidence that U2 will be breaking up, and announce it as TR00 FACT.

 

[mikal]

if spiderman being delayed helps SOA come out faster, then i'm all for this.

The promo was more a happy kind, my bet is "this is your chance to win tickets to see U2 at wembley/cardiff/sheffield".

 

[powerhour24]

I'll believe 'massive' when I hear it.

 

[zoopop]

Adam will wear a new shirt on the 2nd leg

Aren't tickets still available for all UK shows except Wembley 1? If so, you hardly need a radio contest to get cheap nosebleeds.

It might be about SNL. It has to be about something in US

 

[LyricalDrug]

Yeah same. Honestly, I'd really like this whole Spiderman thing pushed to the back burner for now, until after the 360 tour ends and SOA is released.

 

[LyricalDrug]

Agreed that it's something about the US. Although, "massive announcement" makes it seem like it would have to be bigger than that, right? I know U2 are the masters of hype and excitement, but even so...

EDIT: oh wait, not Radio City music HALL, but rather the UK radio station.. hmmm... in that case, maybe they're going to broadcast one of the upcoming UK shows on worldwide radio? C'mon, Cardiff!

Maybe its thats rumour about u2 going on X factor.
