I cannot foresee any situation in which they allow 50,000 people to fill football stadiums. Sure, it might happen in a few random places like Florida. But in order for U2 to mount a giant tour, all the states/countries have to be on board. Australia and New Zealand aren't going to let anybody in anytime soon. I don't think mass vaccination is our ticket back to normalcy. I truly believe 2019 and before is gone for good, and that this is the new normal.
I'm not really looking to start a covid debate, and I know this is a hot take. But I feel like the writing is on the wall, and there does not seem to be any evidence that mass gatherings of people will ever be permitted again, or at least not during the rest of U2's career. I feel like eventually I will be proven right, and it really depresses me. But I think Mumbai was it... the last full on, big crowd U2 concert.

Their career is in it's twilight, good new music is the only thing that can possibly improve their legacy at this point. No one gives a hoot about nostalgia tours.
