If there were already plans in place and they wanted to play it either because they wouldn’t really get another chance and/or to promote good publicity for the place to try and help avoid it being demolished. Totally guessing though.

I'd be so up for that haha. Was supposed to see U2Baby in the empress ballroom in June but then Covid happened.
Originally posted by gmc:I stand by my opinion of Don Valley Stadium on page 119 of this thread,paragraph 1.Absolute shed of a place,disgraceful venue for them to play.Thing is they must have got a safety certificate to hold such an event of this magnitude.And the amount of major artists to play there before 2009 is quite remarkable.
