Not a bad shout mate. Would be surprised if there are **no** European dates within the first year of release however. That would be unprecedented.

they might throw a spanner in the works and play europe and the irish dates in the summer of 2017

who better than u2 to be the first band to play the new PUC in Cork after playing the old venue all those years ago ???

anyway looking forward to it. Loved seeing them in the 3arena last year (cant believe it was last year how time flies)

Last time I saw U2 was 1993. Think I might go to see them this time around. Not so pushed on their new music though.

Don't think I've bought a U2 album since All that you Can't leave Behind but have been to every Irish gig from Popmart onwards and last year was the highlight

My thoughts are a big summer blow out from them in European stadia.

They'll have to delay the album release until The Killers have released their new album so they can copy it.

Ah yes. The new iPhone is out soon aswell.......

Christ. What a dreadfully predictably safe and boring band they've become.

They are a corporation now ,not a band.
Everything is played safe and to maximise revenue.

They will want to get the album out in Sept/October so as they can announce the tour by late November to cash in on the Christmas market.
