Final show of the virtual road is Live from Paris on the I&E tour 2015 starting at 18.40 on 10th April. This was my first time seeing U2 live and i went to Night 2 in the 3Arena in Dublin. Loved it and the visuals were top notch with the setlist been great. The ticket was expensive but it was worth it

Just after the Bataclan massacre too - I thought it was brilliantly handled by Bono - not too strident, as he can be at times..

I was lucky enough to see them twice on this tour, once in Dublin and once in London. I loved it. Amazing to see a band at that stage of their career with so much energy and vitality.

Some fun with the ticket sales for that tour

Remember signed up for the u2 fan club a few hours after the Dublin/Belfast shows we're announced, primarily for the pre sales. At the time it was stated new members would have a separate pre sale after the legacy one but ended up getting a code for the pre sale and got tickets. There were whispers there was an error and ticket sales could be cancelled for 'new members' but thankfully nothing came from it

If I remember correctly tickets were showing up in dribs and draps for that tour but also for the JT revisited and the E&I tour years later. I'll remember that for future tours

We Are The People (Official UEFA EURO 2020 Song) · Martin Garrix · Bono · The Edge

Very catchy I must say

The Nal · 14-05-2021 10:01am

Sounds even more like Coldplay than the last couple of albums

From what I can see Garrix wrote the song and Bono and the Edge are only performing it.

Yeah its not bad

Why are we so **** at soccer, it would be a great song if we had qualified

dublinman1990 · 18-05-2021 3:36pm

Here's the lyrics from Youtube.

We’re a million volts in a pool of light
Electricity in the room tonight
Born from fire
Sparks flying from the sun

I hardly know you
Can I confess?
I feel your heart beating in my chest
You come with me, tonight’s gonna be the one.

Cause you fade, no fear, for the fight
You pull hope from defeat in the night
There’s an image of you in my mind
Could be mad but you might just be right

We are the people we’ve been waiting for
Out of the ruins of hate and war
Army of lovers you’ve never seen before
We are the people we’ve been waiting for

We are the people of the open hand
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
We’ll build it better than we did before
We are the people we’ve been waiting for

We are the people we’ve been waiting for

Broken bells
At a broken church
A heart that hurts
Is a heart that works

From a broken place
That’s where the victory is won

Cause you fade, no fear, for the fight
You pull hope from defeat in the night
There’s an image of you in my mind
Could be mad but you might just be right

We are the people we’ve been waiting for
Out of the ruins of hate and war
Army of lovers never seen before
We are the people we’ve been waiting for

We are the people of the open hand
The streets of Dublin to Notre Dame
We’ll build it better than we did before
We are the people we’ve been waiting for

We are the people we’ve been waiting for

Steve Lilywhite said yesterday that U2 are doing some recording at the moment.
"They’re very excited"
New album perhaps ?

I always thought of SOI and SOE as two parts of an album trilogy, so there should be a third instalment. I'm not as excited about new U2 material as I used to be though, they really seem to have settled into playing it safe on their last few albums.

Is Lillywhite involved, I wonder? That would give me some hope. This nonsense of hooking up with the trendy producer of the day has just resulted in bland, over-produced tunes.

Trying to "stay relevant" just drags them down into morass of modern nonsense. Adam said once about how they should maybe just try to "please themselves" and I think that would be great. A lot of the recent stuff has been very good but too much of it has been trying to recreate the current sound rather than create their own sound and it isn't successful because you don't recognise the band in it and therfore you can't believe in it...

Tour next year..?

fafy · 05-10-2021 11:59am

I understand they have been sporadically recording etc, but they always do that, its no indication, an album is out, anytime soon, i’d guess 2023 at the very earliest, for the next tour.

There were rumours of an Achtung Baby 30th anniversary tour, but nothing came of it.

There is the Anton Corbijn film called “Heartland” of the Joshua Tree 30th anniversary South American tour, which has not been released, so we might get that next year, but i’d say no new album until well into 2022.

MisterAnarchy · 05-10-2021 10:55pm

Zoo TV was epic and groundbreaking.

Its uncanny how relevant its depiction of a tech-driven future fraught with information overload, political tumult and social breakdown, is almost 30 years later.

Has it really been 30 years since Achtung Baby was released, I feel old.

Their best album.

fafy · 05-10-2021 11:56pm

Agreed, i have no doubt its their finest hour, and the tour was staggeringly groundbreaking, in every way. Only got to see one gig on that tour, but still remember, it was jaw dropping WTF !!

PTH2009 · 27-10-2021 6:25pm

God I never realised how amazing an album 'Achtung Baby' is

A tour with that full in tour would be amazing, not looking likely in the near future

At same time I heard about a U2 Stadium tour, I heard arctic monkeys were doing a stadium tour next year as well. With the same band supporting them both..

1 down...1 to go.. 🤞🤞

There never a chance of an anniversary AB tour, i’m fairly sure they ruled that out a long time ago, 2023 at the earliest, for next tour, should get a new album next year.

As for the repackaging of the outstanding album AB, its all been done to death, before, only this time its higher priced, no rare or unreleased music added to previous re-releases, so they are really flaaaing this, a totally pointless revenue grab.

OU812 · 18-11-2021 1:39pm

Absolutely a cash grab, however, it will be decent to have the disks 3 & 4 (are they disks if streaming?), remastered to a higher quality.

I have the early re-releases from Boy up to Joshua Tree on CD, all perfect, never played "collector's items", uncovered them yesterday while tidying up, but I think I'll sell them, I'm streaming everything these days.

greenspurs · 18-11-2021 3:16pm

The greed of bands , and the likes of ebay have really deminshed the hobby of collecting cds/rarieties>

I used to travel up to Temple Bar to a record store and spend my wages up there buying rare cds and bootlegs.

Then ebay and bands started selling them... Ruined the fun.

fafy · 19-11-2021 4:41pm

Good indepth interview on the AB album, with Jo Whiley yesterday, Edge & Bono joins her.

Ahem ahem

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/u2-edge-interview-new-album-1259650/

They aren’t ready to announce any plans for their next tour, but they’ve spoken in the past about the possibility of bringing Zoo TV back on the road for its 30th anniversary. The Edge is tight-lipped on their exact plans, but he says he remains very open to that idea.

“I would love that and I couldn’t rule it out,” he says. “I think [Zoo TV] is such a current thought. Back then we were we’re dealing with the overload and kind of the whiplash of 24/7 news cycles, which hadn’t been known before. It was the overload of cable TV and hundreds and hundreds of channels. And little did we know that that was just the beginning of this avalanche of channels to kind of draw your attention.

“And so, yeah, I think Zoo TV could absolutely come back and be just as relevant,” he continues. “But we haven’t actually got to the point of doing anything more than this kind of talk, but I wouldn’t rule it out again. The [production] team [from that tour] are still with us. That’s what’s fun about it.”

According to new Adam interview, album in 2023, and a tour after that- “if” conditions allow.

Times and Indo reporting it though so someone knows something.

Well it's all coming from Billboard reporting it .. all other media including Times, Indo etc are just quoting Billboard.

It's likely true I reckon and if it is I'll be going, always wanted to go to Vegas, this is the perfect excuse !

No doubt it will be pretty pricy

That venue looks amazing, isn't London getting one of those too in the Olympic park ?

OU812 · 26-07-2022 3:25pm

Getting ready for a tour, Practise the new songs and judge reaction in front of a paying audience. Pretty Savvy

Sandra from Buzz.ie hasnt done her follow up research

https://www.u2songs.com/news/u2_tour_rumours_2023

Update: August 1

Our source for the information about Dublin has shared that it wasn’t U2 booking a stadium for Dublin next summer, and indeed was a different act. The local gossip was that it was U2 making the booking at the venue, but now that the booking is finalized, it has been identified to be another act. We’ve removed the information about Dublin below to prevent any confusion.

You're complaining about ticket prices for a gig that never existed? That's completely normal.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119423928#Comment_119423928

U2 Songs has been consistently, very reliable over several years, so they are usually correct.

The question here is, who has booked Croke Park, the obvious ones that spring to my mind are - The Weeknd, or, Coldplay.

The Weeknd should be announcing his European stadium summer ‘23 tour in the coming months. Doing a relatively short US stadium tour until the end of September this year, remarkably (but not for U.S.)its all seated, stadium tour, and it is horrendously expensive. It won’t be all seated in Europe, in the unlikely event it is, that would severely limit the number of gigs.

Coldplay are doing a few dozen gigs around Europe this year, but, quite lot of places they normally play got skipped - Netherlands, all of Scandanavia, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, so a 2023 euro revist sounds likely.

MisterAnarchy · 09-08-2022 10:50am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119447999#Comment_119447999

It wont be the Weekend anyway, his US tour is selling appallingly.

Most likely Coldplay, they will be doing another European leg next year.
