  1. HI guys

    Does anyone know why there was a break in the vertigo tour? I hear that someone was sick, do you know who and did it turn out alright?
  2. After rehearsing for several months in Vancouver, the tour's opening night was on March 28, 2005 at the iPayOne Center in San Diego, California. The first leg through North America consisted of 28 sold-out indoor arena shows and finished May 28 in Boston, Massachusetts.

    The second leg was a European stadium tour, commencing on June 9 in Brussels, and finished on August 14 in Lisbon. They played in a number of venues including Amsterdam, London, Dublin, Milan and Oslo. U2 broke Irish box office marks with ticket sales for these Croke Park concerts in Dublin, after more than 240,000 tickets were sold in record time. In The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Austria, the tickets were all sold within 60 minutes.

    The band then returned to North America for the third leg in the autumn, playing 50 sold-out shows in indoor arenas, starting on September 12 in Toronto and finishing up on December 19 in Portland, Oregon.

    On March 9, 2006, it was announced the final 10 shows in New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Hawaii were postponed due to a serious illness to guitarist The Edge's daughter Sian. (The initial start of the tour had been postponed slightly for the same reason, although this time prior to any tickets being sold.) On July 20, 2006 it was announced that those dates were now on for November and December, with some adjustments and additions of dates. The fifth leg started on November 7 in Brisbane, Australia and after 13 shows in stadiums it finished on December 9, 2006 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
