They still have a contract until 2020, and they have to honor their end. U2 has clauses but of course they also don't have a say in many things.

Yes but they wouldn't be commiting any crime that could send them behind bars they would just be in a position where they would have to pay money to live-nation as they would be in breach of contract. I think the band would be more than willing to breach there contract if they weren't happy with whatever was being proposed to them.

A suspicion I had for a while is that U2 actually was forced to do this tour by LiveNation to make up for the delay of Songs of Experience. If that is the case, then it is natural for the band to play shorter sets and be on 99% rather than 100% during a show (or even pre-show). It just can make a very small difference.
