I know there are a few U2 fans around here who might be interested in this. Snow Patrol have supported them before, but Black Eyed Peas are a strange choice Neutral

The SP board says Elbow are joining U2 for the European part of the tour..I guess an official email would be sent when dates are set?

I can't wait to see how Elbow deal with U2's ridiculous 360 stage set-up.

Maybe like Sizer Barker on Gabriel's round stage back in 2004 What a Face

Well, I saw in the paper today that 10,000 tickets for the Irish show will go on sale for €30 - that is not bad at all!

Yeah, thay have said that the tickets will be relatively cheap.

We're trying to work on some cheaper ticket prices because this is the recession. We're also going to have some very expensive ticket prices, because rich people have feelings too.

Aye, just seen this on the official site.
Could be interesting, I know a couple of my mates (big U2 fans) were talking about going to either London or Sheffield the other night. I haven't seen U2 live for twenty odd years. Hmm.. scratch

I am so up in the air about this. I've seen U2 a few times and they are really good live. But I'm really not likeing their new stuff at all. And I'm not a fan of huge stadium shows....a few friends are thinking about it. I supose if I have the company I will go, but if it's solo, then no.

A toughie...
