Somewhere there is a Krezip forum with people posting full-panicked meltdowns over the possibility of their band losing Bram.

Thank you for referencing the classics. This begs the question: what would the good Doctor have said about the Sphere?

Apropos of nothing, here's a intriguing little article about the cameras that have been created to capture the 18k video for the screen(s) in the New Las Vegas Lemon: https://www.4kshooters.net/2023/06/14/theres-a-new-large-format-cinema-camera-in-town-with-a-huge-18k-sensor/ This thing will...

Larry's not on board.

Speaking as someone who suffered through the Taylor Swift ticketing shitstorm a few months ago on behalf of my daughter, Ticketmaster seems to have learned from that experience. Placing my ticket request was straightforward and simple. An existential fear of having one's monopoly broken up...

I know nothing, but I did just take a look at the calendar on Terry Lawless' website. He has a tiny, cryptic "X" on every date from August 1 through November 4.

No "Streets?" Burn it down. Let Tulsa crumble to ash. Other than that, good set.

I completely agree. Brace for impact!

This thing needs a "Like" button. WRT to the omission of "Streets" from the setlist: if you went to a Sinatra concert and he failed to sing "My Way," you'd burn the fucking place to the ground.

U2 fan club presale was a waste of money and time yesterday. On the other hand, I had no difficulty grabbing a pair of RZ tickets for the Nashville show during the Citicard presale this morning. I seriously doubt that I will be renewing the fan club membership. Let's be frank, the only...

Just as an FYI: Ticketmaster is a division of Live Nation. U2.com is operated by Live Nation. U2 essentially sold themselves into indentured servitude to Live Nation many years ago. Stay strong, and don't let any of these entities point fingers at each other. They're all different heads of...

Admittedly thinking out loud here... If I were one of U2's corporate overlords at Live Nation, I would want them working in Europe in stadiums during the summer months. Noting that this US arena leg seems to end in late June, do you think that there is any chance that they will visit the...

Given what happened in the UK today I would anticipate that backpacks will be forbidden at every concert, everywhere, forever.

Unstated subtext: "We really had to throw this together at the last minute, and at minimal cost. We'll be recycling stuff used in recent years by other Live Nation artists, because LN won't give us any more money."

"...on the bass, Adam Clayton. He wrote this."

U2 are the greatest live band in the history of popular music. What the Beatles did in the studio, U2 do on stage.

Perhaps I should go buy a lottery ticket? http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f314/breaking-shooting-and-explosions-in-paris-219834-5.html#post8028266

What we want really does not matter. What matters is what meshes best with some evolving business plan that is constantly in flux. A best guess that maximizes demand might be: * arenas in North America this spring and early summer, with a focus on the east coast and southern states *...

The MBA side of my brain refuses to believe that the band will: 1) bring the inertia of the giant, lumbering tour animal to a screeching halt when it has so much momentum, 2) squander the opportunity to profit both creatively and financially from that momentum, 3) waste a full summer when...

I would be amazed if Live Nation is not pushing hard for the band to be on the road in European stadiums during the summer. If not, they have an underperforming asset on their hands, and shareholders have every right to be pissed.

Agreed. I would like to suggest, however, that whenever the next Paris show takes place the Eagles of Death Metal would make for some wonderful E-stage guests.

Stadiums are the only way to meet the immense demand for U2 in Europe.

This band is made of of guys in their mid-50s, some of whom have become a bit creaky in recent years. "Multiple nights" is not necessarily the best answer. The US has ~50 arenas with 18K+ capacity, and Canada adds probably 8-10 more. Europe has only 17-18 arenas with that sort of capacity...

I respectfully disagree. Tremendous demand exists for U2's live product in Europe. Further, Europe lacks the extensive network of large arenas in the 18K-20K seat range like those found in North America. That means they can profitably do stadiums in Europe, and perhaps more significantly...
