U2 Experimenting
U2 / U2TOURFANS / Mark Peterson @2016
New York: Back at the studio the boys have been working something fresh, experimental and some may say it feels like Zooropa. Songs of Experience, their fourteenth studio album.
Bono and the boys are just having fun creating music that will embrace their roots and pull along those new fans and bring them into the fold. U2 has had their challenges during the last tour.
One would think that may come into play with the new music. So the question most of you want to know. When will U2 hit the road again ? Well sources suggest that we should see the boys around the world in 2017 ! Yup that's the noise in the system right now. We tend not to support or agree with the noise however knowing that the marketing machines and the venue routing information would normally kick into gear right about now for a summer tour. 2016 looks likely not be in scope.
Be vigilant, but be unafraid ! As U2 heads back to Paris
New York City: Bono was honored during the10-year anniversary of his humanitarian organizations, ONE and (RED), Bono, U2’s frontman, was characteristically hopeful about returning to Paris, stressing joy and defiance in the face of terror.
"Nothing will stop us from going back. Be vigilant, but be unafraid." U2 does not have a history of canceling shows and as Bono said "Its the Irish in us we just don't want to give into terrorism.
The head of Live Nation Arthur Fogel's face said it clearly to us that this was not going to happen. Now we needed to turn our focus to how can we help our fellow musicians "The Eagles of Death Metal" As we focused on our departure from Paris we offered our plane and in the end we found what was needed most was some mobile devices to reconnect. Since the band lost their phones at the venue.
When asked about the new scheduled shows in Paris, Bono said that the show will go on as normal. Defining normal as the show was intended to be. Its business as usual as act of defiance.
Paris will be the end of this tour. The band had planned to end their tour at home in Dublin however its fitting that the boys head back to Paris with all the hope in the world for peace.
U2 Opening Night In Turin
Kevin Mazur
U2 commenced the European leg of their iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour in Turin on Friday night, with Bono attracting regard for the situation of evacuees attempting to reach Europe.
The band opened their show at the Pala Alpitour in the city with The Miracle of (Joey Ramone) and raged through a set which included more tracks from new collection Songs of Innocence and hymns from all through the quartet's profession.
Its unquestionably perhaps for U2 shows in Dublin before the end of the year. Albeit just before making that big appearance in Turin on Friday night the band and their administration were not able to affirm precise dates or a venue.
U2 were commencing the European leg of their visit to a pressed house in Turin's Pala Alpitour venue. They play 34 shows altogether on this leg of the visit, completing up in Paris on November fifteenth. Press reports have it that the band have piece booked rooms in Dublin's Gibson Hotel, which is contiguous the 3Arena, from November 25th to November 29th. The 3Arena is free on these evenings, as it is over the Christmas-New Year period.
Direct from a couple of weeks occasion in the south of France, the Euopean Innocence and Experience visit won't vary that definitely from that performed in north American venues.
The band are avid to play Dublin on this keep running of shows however there is an extreme logistical issue in that their stage setup just does not fit into the 3Arena.
A monstrous stage is partitioned into three segments, the conventional rectangular stage for the "Purity" some piece of the show and a littler "B" stage for the "Experience" part. A uniting walkway runs the length of the venue over which a 96ft multiplied sided feature screen hangs.
Venue: 3Arena
It is still misty if or when they play Dublin shows, how they will display the show given the constrained floor space of the 3Arena.
All that much an account driven show, enumerating their ascent from Northside wannabes to worldwide supergroup, it's a significantly more close and individual excursion that the past 360 visit.
In any case, in the event that they choose to do the Dublin demonstrates to it is likely that the visit will proceed into 2016 and potentially go outside in another arrangement.
Be that as it may, for the minute late November-December resembles a positive possibly for the Innocence and Experience leg in Dublin.
