You mentioned that the u2start post included TENTATIVE dates, which was good. I just highlighted the fact that the u2start post appeared to have errors, so it would be unwise to book anything (non-refundable of course). What people chose to do with the information posted would be their own business. I was merely making people aware of it. Not every U2 fan goes to every U2 site. I came across the information by accident and posted it here since there is obviously great interest. I also think that virtually all fans here would be intelligent enough not to make any firm plans rashly. I made it quite clear in every post I made that the information was not concrete. However, this is the best indication so far that something is definitely happening. Edited May 16, 2019 by dmway Link to post Share on other sites
Community Moderator Max Tsukino 2,591 Posted May 16, 2019 Community Moderator Share Posted May 16, 2019 Please do not make this (or any other rumors) a contest about X,Y or Z... if/when there's something firm and concrete you will find all the official information on the main site. Please do not make any plans until there is official information... thanks 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Manohlive 2,328 Posted May 16, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted May 16, 2019 Monday Monday Monday! In four days we know a tour is going to be announced. It's in countries that have not had tours since Vertigo. It may, or may not be, here or there. This is a great thing either way. Thanks for the link, dmway. It's really nice not to have to search for it. I love the black background with the white fonts. Could you now arrange for the entire internet to do it like that? 😎 They are touring! Yee Haw. We should all meet in-between and dance together.. I'd like to see Mich and Max spinning vinyl in the DJ booth. Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber peterferris8 592 Posted May 16, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted May 16, 2019 Okay, so Joshua Tree shows after all. This is just going to make me nostalgic for The Joshua Tree show I was at now! What I do hope for this is that they find some way to fit SOI/E tracks into the set as well, because they’ve only done those songs in the US & Europe (unless you count Best Thing being played on The Joshua Tree tour in South America). One thing I also noted from u2songs was “we have been told the band will start work on a new album after this tour.” Even more good news! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the setlist is the most intriguing part in speculating before the shows actually take place. Obviously, JT, SOI, and SOE will feature prominently (as they should); however, that doesn't leave a big proportion of the set left over for songs that people want to hear and/or the band feel like playing. I think that "Acrobat" would have to be played again (thus, MacPhisto should be going Down Under as well ) - but the rest of the set, my goodness, how would you pick the few slots left over? Yes, and a new U2 album is always good news! Edited May 16, 2019 by dmway 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm hoping for substantial changes from what we saw in 2017. I'd like it all to feel new & fresh, which might be difficult with the stage design (I was hoping for a redesigned b-stage for Lovetown30). I hope quite a few SoI/SoE songs make the cut. Acrobat & The Blackout are both monster tunes, as is Exit! It would be awesome if they're all played. Blackout with that giant screen could be killer!
