Originally posted by MattG:Miracle was a barely-good opener with nothing more than a "punch-punch" riff and a chant behind it. If they could make that work the way they did, they can definitely manipulate The Blackout - a song with a great pulse, a hook, and a chorus just begging for a light show - into being a really cool opener.
I was thinking for awhile that Lights of Home would open, but it seems like such an important song to them that I don't think Bono will want to play it without getting to say a few words about it. I think it's the Cedarwood Road of this tour, and will have Bono in the screen.
I revised my setlist prediction a bit even though I said I wouldnt.
01. The Blackout
02. The Fly
03. Vertigo
04. You're the Best Thing About Me
05. Lights of Home
06. Get Out of Your Own Way
07. American Soul
08. Desire
09. Love and Peace or Else*
10. Until the End of the World**
-Intermission: Drug of the Nation-
11. Zoo Station
12. Even Better Than the Real Thing
13. Mysterious Ways
14. Who's Gonna Ride / Tryin' to Throw / Stay
15. Ordinary Love / Elevation / Stuck in a Moment / Angel of Harlem
16. Every Breaking Wave
17. Walk On
18. Pride
19. Love Is All We Have Left / Where the Streets Have No Name
20. The Little Things That Give You Away
-Encore Break-
21. One
22. City of Blinding Lights***
23. Love is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way
*Wishful thinking
**I honestly can't see them using the exact same transitions as before, but that got me thinking...they could really re-frame the context of the song with the visuals on the screen and make it fit a new narrative. Purposely re-use it as a transition but make it mean a completely new thing for the show.
***You just know they're going to keep this fucking song in the encore.

Terrible setlist hopefully they don't play too many from the new album 5 songs max would be more than enough, it's not the type of record that will get punters off their seats .

Elvis Ate America(Elvis Presley and America snippet)
Grace (Fish Thrown Out of Water Into Another Useless Dumb Name Remix Mix)
Boy Falls From The Sky
Glatsonbury (Grace, Volcano, and American Soul Snippets)
One Step Closer
Million Dollar Hotel Interlude featuring incredible Dialog of the
main characters Mumbling in fascinating speech that is difficult to understand at any volume, since they are mumbling fumbling and bumbling.
Set 2:
Raised By Wolves(Race Against Time snippet)
The Troubles(I Will Follow snippet)
Slug(Grace snippet)
Red Hill Mining Town(Horns Instrumental, no vocals as Bono is eating Popcorn)
