  1. Based on these rumours with a Europe stadium tour and arenas in US, is U2 planning a combination tour? What do you think?

  2. I'm sure they'll play the venue at some point but I'm not buying the residency rumours they aren't some dried up tribute act like KISS or Motley Crue who are solely in it for the money, I'd say the venue are doing a bit of PR by throwing a big bands name out there , U2 still have a large fanbase across the US where they can fill Stadiums 🏟 and Arenas in most major cities so I just don't see them needing to do a residency at this point .
  3. Depends on how they promote this tour. Filling arenas with a new album is no problem. Filling stadiums is something different. I can only see them filling stadiums if they promote it as a greatest hits tour, another anniversary tour (which i hope both won't happen) or tickets will be very cheap
  4. It’s sounding like it will be. If that’s the case, I wonder if they’ll build two separate stages like the Vertigo Tour, or if they’ll jam the outdoor stage into arenas, like they did for Saitama 2006 and 2019, and Perth 1998.
  5. I can see the business appeal of one venue only. Lower carbon footprint, easier to keep band and crew in bubbles if necessary, reduces ms costs in transporting a stage across the country. I think it actually suits the U2 setup.

    Closed door rehearsals in the same venue before the first gigs. Take a week to settle the setlist and production then just phone it in every night and collect those dollars.
  6. My money is on stadiums for Europe, something along the lines of the JT30 tour in terms of cities and duration perhaps.

    Could it be marketed as a greatest hits tour? Wouldn't rule anything out currently.
  7. No problem with stadiums in Europe
  8. I don't believe there will be U2 tour in 2023

    It will support a new album so I don't think so.
  10. Just because U2 are playing a residency in Vegas doesn’t mean they’re old and washed up.

    The arena is probably looking for a big name that can fill multiple nights for the grand opening of this new venue. I’d expect a handful of shows, no more than 5. Remember U2 failed to sell out 2 shows at T-Mobile arena in 2018, so it’s not like they have huge drawing power in Vegas. The new arena factor will be more of a draw than the band. I saw this thing being constructed when I was in Vegas last year, this Sphere thing is gonna be pretty cool.

    The good news: U2 are probably touring next year. The bad news for me: it’ll probably be residencies in the big cities in arenas. Which means I’ll have to travel to Chicago to see U2 again, because that’s the nearest city to me that they always hit. I’m sick of Chicago!’n

    They've never phoned it in unlike a lot of bands from their era who rely solely on past glories from 3 decades ago.
