Opening Acts 2010 - Lenny Kravitz, Interpol, The Fray and more

[daygloeyes2]

I've never heard Interpol.

 

[secretly alone]

^ Me either, really. I've just heard one song, but I like it. I'll be looking forward to seeing them in Chicago and Philly...

Wondering about Montreal and NY

 

[Pop Artist]

The subway is a porno
The pavements, they are a mess...

 

[MilotheMayor]

I'm more excited for Interpol than for U2 now. That's what happens when Turn on the Bright Lights obliterates any of U2's 2000s output.

 

[last unicorn]

Lenny Kravitz is ok, Interpol is good, I don't know the Fray.

I won't get to see any of them anyway because I'm in Europe.

 

[mirrorballman]

Well I'm wondering if, for instance, Interpol will be joining some Europe dates. With the new album coming out apparently soon, it's possible. In between, they might do some festivals and it's not the first time they'd be joining U2 as an opening act (Hampden Park, 2005)!

 

[Katiesheb]

I've never heard Interpol.

Don't feel bad. I haven't heard of them either. I will be spending some time on YouTube if they open for U2 in Montreal...

 

[kafrun]

Interpol.. my brother and I were freaking out over that. I have yet to see them live, but now I'll get to see them at at least two shows.

Arcade Fire for Montreal again? Yes.. yes.. YES

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Interpol - wow.
Lenny Kravitz - kind of odd, but good/fun I'm sure.
The Fray - WTF?!?!?

 

[Spoutnik]

Okay,In your mind,whats the difference between "To Be Comfirmed" and "To Be Announce".Because on U2.com it says that for Montreal and Jersey, the opening acts are TBC and for Europe to be TBA.

 

[Galeongirl]

To be Confirmed means that the acts are already being booked, and they just need to finalize things.
To be Announced means pretty much that they dont' have everything in order yet, that they still have to figure out most acts.

 

[Spoutnik]

Hmmm...so we may still get The Fray or Interpol or Lenny,then.

 

[Pop Artist]

Hmmm...so we may still get The Fray or Interpol or Lenny,then.

Possible, but they probably would have confirmed with their other dates, plus with these guys I doubt it. I think it will be an entirely different band(s) for Montreal and NJ.

- The Fray: Oakland, Seattle, Edmonton
- Interpol: Minneapolis, East Lansing, Toronto, Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia

No opening acts have been announced for the two shows in Montreal and the final show in East Rutherford. Here's the full list of U2 360 2010 North American concerts on U2tours.com.

Feck, I want to see Interpol!!!! Hope they open for the NY show.]

[Spoutnik]

Couldn't resist and i had to take a look at what the Interpol fans were saying about their band open up for u2.......and they're pissed,has it was expected,i guess.You read their comments and you'll think that Interpol are in bed with the devil by accepting to open for U2.

Funny and sad at the same time.

 

[ramblin rose]

^ That made me laugh.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Didn't Muse fans have the same reaction?

 

[intedomine]

Interpol OMFG!

 

[lauramullen]

I hope Jersey gets someone different.

 

[Spoutnik]

Didn't Muse fans have the same reaction?

I know.But it just strikes that those indie fans finds it more....shall i say "more cooler" to open for the Stones than for U2.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I hope Jersey gets someone different.

Jonas!

 

[one4u2]

Jonas!

Um, no


Lenny

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

Hanson, the Jonus Brothers and Miley Cyrus... Then I can just show up at 8:30

YouTube - Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way"

Probably one of the catchiest riffs written in the last 20 years. I wish Lenny was coming to Toronto instead.

 

[lauramullen]

Jonas!

You know they're your favorite band.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Watch NY will get Jay-Z

 

[RedRocksU2]

oh, hell no.

 

[lauramullen]

Watch NY will get Jay-Z

I actually like Jay-Z.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Me too.
