U2 May Say Hola South America !

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.

It has about 50,000 inhabitants and is located 45 and 75 km from the airport and Aarhus Bill and removed. The town is famous for its annual Medieval Festival in late August, will travel to the fans from all over Europe.

The four Irishmen: Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam are in the Casa Arena Horsens from approximately 35000-45000 fans from around the world about a two hour concert with a worldwide hit as follows: One, I Still Have not Found What I ‘give m Looking For Beautiful Day or for the best.

360 degrees! Bono makes Hannover hot

Distorted Space sounds, powerful guitar sound in the boiler of the AWD-Arena, mega-impact of the world stars U2 before 57 000 fans sold out!

“Beautiful Day” - and what a beautiful day!

Front man Bono is dancing on the outer ring of the gigantic spaceship stage: with typical cool sunglasses, black leather outfit. Fog, light explosion, hit fireworks. Crazy good, these Irishmen. Your superheated “360” show brings the stadium quickly to a boil. U2 rock Hannover!

And in the middle: President Christian Wulff (51, white shirt with no tie) and First Lady Bettina (36, black pantsuit know). Insider, Bettina Wulff is that for years a big fan of Bono - for his music, but also because of its commitment to Human rights and the environment. Wulff: “That’s why I have given her the inside cards for Christmas.” Half an hour before the show gave it a meeting behind the stage.

Wulff, “Bono is an impressive personality, credibility and a great model to make the responsibility of African popular!”

It was long uncertain whether Wulff after the rise in the Bellevue Palace are actually for the U2 concert. Security concerns! Compromise: Only rocked the presidential couple with the interior. Then when it got dark, brought bodyguards for security reasons the other two for a place.

Iconic pieces of three decades, thundered from the speakers: “New Year’s Day,” “Where The Streets Have No Name”, “Still have not found what I’m looking for”. In between songs from the new album “No Line On The Horizon” (“Magnificent”, “Got Your Boots On”).

Again and again inspired Bono with personal notes, even neighboring Maschseefest as “the festival of beer drinking mentioned outside.”

At the finale Bono recalled the late 96-hero Robert Enke, sang the mega seller “With or without you” and “One”. Soulful goosebumps-end …

U2 and the 700-ton monster arrive in Hanover

Just over a week before the start of the Bundesliga season in the AWD Arena in Hanover from the green grass is not much to see.  

A total of 700 tons of steel and technology currently dominate the stadium on Thursday evening and prepare the stage for the concert. 

After 13 years, the band is the first time to see again live in the state capital.

Six days and more than 8,000 hours was the construction of the 360-degree stage - a futuristic, spider-like structure - claim that it has, according to organizers in these dimensions so before given only U2.

The approximately 50,000 fans are expected to forward to an appropriate spectacle, production manager Jake Barry promised yesterday, while in the truest sense of the word were the latest work on the stage.

Hanover, the second of three German stations during the 2009 world tour the band started. On Tuesday evening, the rocker is already in the Frankfurt Commerzbank-Arena had occurred.

It had come to the end of the presentation for a moving invocation. Before the very last song called “Moment of Surrender” singer Bono recalled the 21 victims of the Love Parade in Duisburg. He then expressed his hope that the disaster should not lead to perish in Germany, the joy of music.

Quite easily, the German tour start was, however, does not. During the construction stage to comply with the giant screens, there was in Frankfurt a lot of trouble.

At 52 meters height, the steel structure for the stadium roof was too high. “In Hanover, there has been no trouble,” said the head of production.

Ensure that the lawn just before the season start of the Bundesliga season is not damaged, make special shoes. If the Green still suffer, there is a new turf by U2.
  

Opening is Kasabian. U2 starts at 20.45 Local Time

Bono Fingers Frankfurt

Bono Fingers You 2010 With Bono bravely bounding around the stage, acting all born again after recovering from his back injury, the European reboot of the U2 360 tour moved to Frankfurt on Tuesday night. With REM’s singer Michael Stipe in the crowd, Bono injected an energetic end-of-the-world snippet into “Vertigo.”

Other than dropping new song “North Star” and adding “New Year’s Day,” setlist changes were minor. The show ran its normal event however there was at least one interesting event.

Really we are not sure what Bono was thinking at the time. However the photo clearly shows his feeling towards something. We need to check in with our German press office to learn what’s up. Ah I guess we know what’s up, rather we need to know why ?

Last nights show by the Frankfurt fans was considered fantastic and it was clear that U2 and Bono are back in business. If you compare the show in Turn to last nights. We agree we spent most of the show wondering how Bono will perform? For last nights show it was almost as if we did not even know anything about a back “issue” it was  hard to tell he’d had any back surgery just a few months ago! He was swinging on the steering wheel mic like a kid during the encore.

The different between shows lots of emotion and drama on the first night. Last nights show was just freaking great said one fan. Amazing. Larger than life. As you can expect twitter was all a buzz with the setlist and comments about the Boys, and bits of information from U2GIGS vast database of concert details.  The audio stream ran fast and most fans listening on line suggested the show was running fast which it was not just simple compression.

The German crowd was loud. They seem ready to jump out of their skin for this event. Lots of singing, clapping and most fans up off their fat asses for most of the show. ( Hey thats what Bono said)

Larry gave Bono what we thought was a very warm standing ovation just after Bono’s prance around the outer stage which during the first show remained empty for most of the time. Bono returned the warm overation and off the show went.

 

We have finally settled the conversation about what was the first song. Beautiful Day starts the show off. We have posted the set list. Beautiful Day works to start the show off while some miss Breathe which really never got the crowd up off their feet BD take set the tone.“New Year’s Day” was an inspired second choice, pumping some more fuel into the fire, with some extra Polish passion added to the mayhem in the pit. Six Poland flags were hoisted by fans in different parts of the pit, one was thrown onto the stage, and Bono draped it over one of his monitors where I think it stayed for the rest of the show.

As we said earlier the German crowd was LOUD and stayed that way for most of the show.

“I Still  Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” “Mysterious Ways.” with some props to REM throwen in as Michael Stips was in the house.

Miss Sarajevo was amazing, Bonoo strained to hit the highs and Until The End of The World was amazing. The Edge had his full game on dredging some filthy sounds.

For U2 moved one fuminante show from Germany and towards the end of the upbeat, the singer also showed his heart. came the terrible disaster of Duisburg (at the Love Parade is a mass panic) moved even U2. She dedicated her song “Surrender” the 21 dead of the Love Parade.

Bono announced at the end of nearly two-hour concert on Tuesday evening that he hoped that the tragedy of Duisburg did not lead to “the joy that goes down to the music and the culture here.”

55 000 spectators cheered their stars, but the World Cup Stadium was not quite sold out. But whatever - the arena was cooking, no wonder: At 360 degrees hot guys who want to know on their tour around the globe once again really.
