Stockhom Show Review, Brazilian Hopes

New York City:  So earlier in the week U2.com rock shop posted a "U2ie Tour Brazil Logo" ladies' shirt. We normal would have thought nothing of it. However The Innocence + Experience Tour does not have any Brazil dates planned.

The main inevitable dates are those on the current European leg. Bits of gossip have for some time proposed there will be a South American leg in 2016. Now that's clearly not possible since Dublin and Belfast dates has been posted as the last 2016 dates. So what does the posting of this shirt mean? Brazilians want to know ! This would be in poor form if the shirt was simply produced as part of an over all campaign. Well friends in Brazil we will all await some news.  Now on to last nights show.

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

After a concert Sunday with mostly positive response from critics, the rock group U2 Monday half day off in Horsens. But what the day will be used at will horsensianske concert organizer not disclose.

- 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.
