As already reported the band has plans to release a rock album, and SOngs of Ascent a set of songs from the recording session of their 2009 album “No Line On the Horizon” also Bono and The Edge have been busy with Spider- Man the musical.
Bono says he thinks he “could have made a limp work.”
He adds: “There are a lot bigger problems out there than the ones I was facing. … But I came out of it perfect. And I feel incredibly grateful.”
The last encore ‘Moment of Surrender’ had barely died away before U2 had left not only but also Horsens Denmark. ( Industry term “Runner” - This happens in small venues that bands perform and everything is packed up and ready as the band leaves the stage their are moved quickly to a running car and off they go.)
Just one hour and 20 minutes after U2 went on stage at Casa Arena Horsens, the band had taken their seats in their aircraft when they stood and waited for them at Billund Airport.
- They took off at 00:50, said director of Billund Airport. Kjeld Jorgensen Zacho to Ekstra Bladet.
The plane - an MD-83 machine - has been at the airport since the band and crew landed Sunday afternoon at 16:25.
U2 has tried to keep their presence in the Jutland secret. On their flight from the French VIP charter airline Blue Line.
The aircraft is initially accommodate 167 passengers, but U2’s VIP edition is only 60 Business Class seats for extra legroom good for Bono, The Edge and the other boys.
Sunday afternoon. 16:25 landed an MD-83 (DC-9-83) aircraft from the French VIP charter airline Blue Line from Billund Airport. The plane with registration number F-GMLK have a special livery on the tail.
The plane dates back from July 1988 and has 22 years in the logbook. It was originally delivered to Spanair, but in 1997 leased to Tunisian Nouvelair. From 2005 the aircraft was taking ownership of the Blue Line.
However, there is little doubt as to whether the Irish rock band was actually on board the French VIP aircraft.
About 20 minutes after the MD-83’erens arrival landed a Cessna Citation 560 Jet from the British NextJet specializing in rentals of smaller jets for VIP purposes. So maybe the band came in Citation-jet, while the crew enjoyed Business Class seats.
Between the two concerts the band stayed at the Hotel KongebroGaarden in Middlesbrough - a five-star hotel located in a forest by a small marina a few meters from water’s edge at Little overlooking both the new and old Lillebælstbro.
U2 play their next concert on Friday in Finland.
U2 Rocked Horsens for Two Days, the largest stage in the world arrived nearly two weeks ago as fans watched in amazement, dreaming of the show they would soon see. Tickets sold out, camping gear spotted around the stadium, fans positioning themselves around the non ticket holder areas to catch the massive screen.
The middle aged Irishman sounded like they should have been shoulder to shoulder in a sweaty summer club, maybe CBGB’s (reference to our friend Hilly) however tonight Horsens turn to experience U2 in a 360 view was.
The boys climbed the stage in a remarkably leisurely pace here as dusk turned into his most dark blue hue. But from the first chord in new instrumentals Return of the Stingray Guitar and its jumpy synth theme was solid beats and loud, and announced that tonight’s first peak could come as soon it should be. And it did: It’s a Beautiful Day song Bono to the riveting beat, and the answer came promptly in the form of ecstatic reunion joy that stretched all the way down to audience numbering 35,000 in the rear end of the arena.
The Edges familiar riff on guitar for New Year’s Day reminded us that U2 has three decades old, while Bono edge on the outer circle was all skepticism to shame that the very question back injury is a hindrance. He pulled hard on the body at a pace that drove the song even faster than the original, and grooved, dirty Get On Your Boots beats gave a further upward thanks to a metallic, treble that perhaps vibrated inappropriate under-grandstand roofs, but turn easily reached all corners of the arena.
It was frankly hard, sharp rock, and although the pace was choked a bit down in the beautiful pop Magnificent with Bono high clear song, it was not until tonight’s sixth number, Mysterious Ways, that there was something that reminded just a little on air and cracks in the sound barrier (while sensual female bodies writhing in front frontman’s face on the big screen to the sexy groove). Just to party and rock the machine threw yet another dunk gasoline on the fire with Elevation: Bono is out on the edge with big gestures - and the audience responded!
At the time of the concert was so looked deeply into U2’s history books, but actually, the four be commended for serving a very contemporary program. Half of the concert a total of 23 songs were from the last decade, and perhaps it is also why an estimated 25 percent of the audience this evening was not even born when the group came up - and many of them do not know when U2 had its absolute artistic zenith in the final 80 / start-’90s.
U2 will continue to blaze the world with this tour and fans await the release of something new. Something different as U2 continues to define rock as music that you feel in your soul and you can’t feel it if your sitting on your ass !
U2 fans got a delightful welcome addition to the setlist tonight - We will be updated the review abit later however for those of you that would to see what the surprise was check out the setlist. For those of you that attended the show join the conversation.
The critics liked what they saw and heard when the Irish world stars from U2 Sunday walked on stage and delivered over 130-minute concert in Horsens.
They have never been better ! Six Stars ! “Small miracle of rock historys biggest stage.”
The setlist was designed to get people off their “ASS” and enjoy the summer evening. Moments of Surrender, and the fans did. U2 triumph over questions of could they come back from Bono’s time out? In deed they can.
U2 was in focus and the stage was really just part of the music as it stood tall against the small town of Horsens.
U2 can indeed play, and you can sense that the four childhood friends from Dublin are still enjoying each others company after 34 years together, and the photos prove just that.
Monday gives U2’s second concert in Horsens.
- They have a secret program which they would not publish because they just have free, “says concert organizer Frank Panduro, who also is behind the city’s former great concerts.
The local tourist chief has however a number of recommendations on what U2 frontman Bono to get day to go by before the second concert in Horsens tonight.
- Besides, he obviously has to relax, so he gets ready for tonight, so I think then that he should go down and see downtown and the big party that is for him, “says Lene Kamilla Hansen, who is touring manager in Horsens.
- He may, for example, have a picnic bag with local specialties down the pedestrian street in Horsens. It includes a locally produced sausage, some pasta salad and some cake. It would be a perfect lunch, “says Lene Kamilla Hansen.
Bono can also see U2 worship, concerts on the pedestrian street and a bunch of volunteers in the U2 frontman’s spirit doing good deeds as lifting visitor’s baggage and wipe the sweat of people’s foreheads.
The U2 classics such as One, Moment of Surrender or elevation will find their way into the setlist of four from Dublin.

What time is it in Horsens ? Local Time is
Expect the the boys to take the stage around 8:45 PM
The rumors contiue to grow. Now La Tercera is reporting that Live Nation may have reached a deal for the boys to play in Chile, and if all goes well it could be more than one show. Dates suggested March 25th and 26th. The second show is based a sell out of the first. Which is more than likely. If Chile gets the second show this will be the first time since the boys toured South America that Chile gets a second show.
The waiting for some fans may be a bit much however we suggest you hang on word has it that tickets may go on sale as early as September.
Now what about South America, should the Chile concert dates come true, this would be part of the bigger South American tour which could include U2’s first time arrival into Peru. Rumors suggest that this South American tour could start late February or early March 2011.
