Apologies if this has already been posted, but there's a blurb in the new Rolling Stone (the one that has Taylor Swift on the cover and has the NLOTH review) that says U2 WILL be playing stadiums in the US this time around.
It's in the magazine's "On the Road section" (page 23) and is headlined "U2 to Rock Stadiums Across US This Summer." The transcription:
"After selling out countless arenas this decade, U2 are heading outdoors this year with their first US stadium tour since 1997's Popmart. The band members, who will release No Line on the Horizon on March 3rd, haven't yet announced dates for the tour or details about what they'll play.
But they're already planning an innovative setup that will allow for seating to be built around the entire stage, which will be moved closer to the center of the field than is typical. "It's an engineering marvel," says Bono, adding that the band wants to maximize space in the enormous venues to accomodate the the many young fans it has made this decade with this such as Vertigo. "We're going outdoors to meet that audience."
