Is This The End ?

Is this the last big tour for the boys? The question always comes up at the end of a tour. This time fans seem to believe that we may have seen the last of U2. Bono has been telling fans “Don’t forget us” as if they may have already. What has concerned fans most was the comment during last months shows in Brazil where he said.

‘Tonight is our last night in South America and we wanted to remember this,’ said Bono after Until The End of the World. ‘So we’re going out live on radio and online across the whole of your mesmerising continent as an excuse so we can have the record of this show. This show will last for ever.’

To a capacity crowd on the third and final night in Sao Paulo and to fans around the world listening it the comment did not go unnoticed rather most fans just listened as their band played and praying that they will see greatness again.

Sao Paulo was special for so many reasons. Steve Lillywhite came in from NY to hear the tracks he produced and claimed it sounds just as good as it did 30 years ago.

U2 will go down as the greatness band in history not because we believe it, because the facts are clear, they have produced, provided and continue to create music that moves people beyond the space and time that they live in.

Sao Paulo was special, so special that many believe greatness is hard to repeat however Mexico fans await their arrival to push the boys beyond greatness and make their shows the best.  North America is right around the corner and the time has come for those fans to finally see Bono and the rest of the band.  

Tickets for all shows are still available can be found online

U2's Edge wins housing battle

Remember that little story about Edge’s interest in building a house, well it looks to be all over now. The fight has ended and The Edge has won approval to move ahead -

U2 rocker The Edge has won a major victory in his fight to build five mansions on a plot of land in Malibu, California - a local agency has agreed to drop opposition to the plans.

The Irish musician has been battling since 2006 to win approval for a development project which will see him turn the 156-acre Sweetwater Mesa estate into a community of homes. Local residents have opposed the plans because of the environmental impact the development will allegedly have.

Officials at the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy board previously spoke out against the bid, but have now agreed to drop their opposition after reaching a deal with The Edge which will see him and his business partners help the agency conserve land around the site.

A spokesman for The Edge and his partners tells the Los Angeles Times, “The property owners are proud of what they’ve accomplished with the conservancy, and they look forward to continuing to work with the Malibu community and other stakeholders.”

While a statement from the agency reads, “The conservancy entered into this agreement in order to maximise the benefit for the public if the project is approved.”

'Glastonbury on steroids'

U2 have promised they will play an epic, stadium-like performance at this year’s Glastonbury festival.

Bassist Adam Clayton told Q that the band’s headline performance on the Pyramid Stage on the Friday (June 24) of the Somerset bash will have grand production values.

Clayton said: “It’s very un-Glastonbury to have a big production but we will be sneaking a few things in through the back gate which will hopefully make this experience a little more like Glastonbury on steroids.”

He added: “We’re stretching the level of what can be done. We hope to create a mind blowing experience that reacts well with all the other substances involved.”

North American Premiere of Killing Bono

Killing Bono – review
The real-life story of rivalry over teenage bands – one of which turns out to be U2 – makes for an entertaining, fun movie, writes Peter Bradshaw

Based on a true story and written for the screen by Dick Clement and Ian Le Frenais, Killing Bono is a good-natured, boisterous comedy with a Likely Lads feel. Ben Barnes plays Neil McCormick, a rock-mad Dublin teenager who grows up with Paul Hewson, later to be the legendary Bono. Both are in sixth-form bands, but when Hewson tries to get Neil’s talented guitarist brother Ivan (Robert Sheehan) to be in his group, Neil secretly scuppers this plan. Cruel fate takes its course. Hewson’s band become the world-famous U2, but Neil’s group remain failures and losers; Neil is convulsed with envy for his old school friend and guilt at stopping Ivan from getting his ticket to global fame. Martin McCann gives an interesting and sympathetic performance as Bono; Peter Serafinowicz has a funny cameo as a hard-faced promoter and Pete Postlethwaite gives a final, gentle performance as gay landlord Karl.

Free Show My Ass !

Well we knew if we waited some time a true message would come out about the possible free show in Brazil for the world cup. Once again it proves why we don’t post rumors or suggested possible rumors - All because its bull shit ! Yup that’s the official word of the day  - We have been off a few days for a well deserved break and when we returned our email box was flooded with emails from our friends down south ( South America) Yea the boys had plays a super show over a 3 day period and amazed the crowds. So of course the rumor mill would start flying a story that the boys may come back around to play a free show. Well we did some digging and it seemed possible based on calendars and timeline of releases that this could be possible. Well we digged deeper and got some info from some sources and the verdict is in. BULL SHIT - We call it - Nope no facts yet to suggest its possible. So with that we will remain our ban on rumors. Ugh said to say we been dupped but hey every dog has its day. 

U2 Considering Free Show !

In Rio During ‘14 FIFA World Cup. Sports Fans and Music Fans united all in one play Rio ! As World Cup gets set to return to Brazil in 2014 their is a possiblity that the boys from Ireland will be playing a free concert. Sources suggest that this could be a possiblity, the choice of Bono over Mick is still up in the air howvever Bono does have a couple of legs up, first the most successful show out shows ever held in Brazil belongs to U2. Second they love Brazil and would welcome the chance to come back and play. While this is all still up in the air. We do know that the final 360 show is pretty much set for Canada - What happens to the stage after that is anyone’s guess - Some facebook sites have popped up offering “Save the Claw” Its to early to say what will happen to it. One thing is for sure, that all three visions will need to find a new home. So if you see some big red trucks with steel rolling across America this summer just wave and smile - The boys are coming back to the US very soon. 

We suggest getting your North American tickets from our site if you have not pruchased them yet !
