I will buy tickets for the show in Poland.

a really disappointing list of european dates :roll:: amazingly few concerts in all (only 12 european shows! come on...). and for instance just one northern europe show (gothenburg).
but well, i didn't except anything better because in 2005 it was almost just the same.

(it will be complete hell for those trying to get any tickets for that date - i already feel sorry for those people who really want the tickets there. i can still remember the hassle in 2005: i remember seeing some people paying 1000 euros for tickets to the gothenburg show back then. and then there was three concerts in scandinavia, now it's only one - so i suppose it'll be 3000 euros now. good luck, anyone...)

The dates were just announced and u2.com is already collapsing.

No doubt, they're a huge band...

First, I have to say that I find the choice of venues for the U.S. shows to be really odd. What, are they going to be playing halftime shows for NFL games or something?

Secondly, I find it really hard to believe this is all there is going to be for a tour in support of a new album. I can't remember the last time they didn't do least three legs, multiple back-to-back shows in the biggest cities — and all this taking place over the course of a couple years.

Something just doesn't seem right about this. Maybe these are just "warm-up" dates, so to speak.

Or... Maybe they're just getting old and want to keep it short and sweet?

i was actually thinking about the same today.
for instance, even compared to the elevation tour in 2005, this new list of dates just looks really short. (and even the elevation tour was nowhere near as comprehensive as like some past tours).

I think you meant the Vertigo Tour.

...which actually turned out to be a lot longer than two legs:

Well, maybe this will turn into something more after all. This site says there will likely be more shows added, plus another two legs in 2010. Seems believable to me.

They could easily add something between these that would benefit me.

2009-09-12 - Chicago, Illinois, USA - Soldier Field (30 March)
2009-09-16 - Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Rogers Centre (30 March)

Although I wouldn't rule out traveling a bit to see them. I guess the closet(?) U2 fan in me is coming out.

i've seen them on a stadium once and i'm not sure i'd bother travel for another stadium show. perhaps it's just too big for me these days, you don't get to see as much as you'd want to.
too bad they are too big to ever play (indoor) arena tours anymore.

Lady · March 09, 2009, 21:21:12

Some gigs are still missing...

It seems that they're going to play in milan not just on 7th july, but also on 8th!!!! This news is pretty sure!

Maybe it's the same even for the other countries...

That's a good point. Hopefully they'll add a few smaller venues at some point. But that might be "illegal" considering the trend so far. :roll:
