Paul In The House, Cyrstal Ballroom Sidelined
Once called the fifth member of U2, Paul McGuinness stopped in for the second night. Social media a buzz of a possible sighting of Mick ( Rolling Stones) however no truth to that. Bono still a bit under the weather, fans stepped up and sung most of "One" allowing Bono to pull back a bit.
Sound check seems to always be a testing ground for possible set list changes. "The Crystal Ballroom" was rehearsed twice and yet not added to the set list. Most of the rehearsal was a preview of the night ahead.
We have to thank all the U2 fans that have been sending in their videos and photos. We review all of them. We tag and watermark your items and once that has been completed we post them to our network.

No Opening Act for U2 Shows
A couple of weeks back we said that U2 will not have an opening act this time around.
They have done this before however its been sometime. Live Nation has confirmed that U2 will be performing their show with no back up support. The show will be broken into two parts and will have an intermission. A couple of other items:

More U2 Dates yet to be Annouced
Live Nation’s Arthur Fogel, promoter-producer of all of U2’s tours since PopMart in 1997 and 1998, noting that he would have liked to make a splashier announcement tied to a high-profile TV play, no doubt in reference to U2’s planned (and scrapped) five-night residency on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. But “given all factors, we’re OK.”
Only stops in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe were announced, and Fogel is tight-lipped on future plans, but it wouldn’t be out of the question for the tour to run as long as three years, returning to North America and Europe, along with visits to Asia, South America, Australia and other territories.
Now checking around the globe we have sources that have informed us that some venues have "blocked" availability dates for their arena use. It's possible those slots have been put on block as Live Nation Global Touring and U2 work out the routing schedule around the world. This is the part of the business that has to be done right. Routing a band the size of U2 does not come easy logistics has to be worked out all the way down to the pre concert day and post concert day.
We expect that U2 will be announcing more dates within the next couple of weeks. The boys will tour this current album and the upcoming eXPERIENCE album yet to be released. For U2 to be touring for the next 3 years is not impossible. Now the final show will be Dublin and those dates have not been announced
