U2 Experimenting

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.

U2's Runner Show, Off To Berlin Now

Stockhom: When a tour schedule is this tight the room for error tends to be very slim. The band performed their forth show last night in Stockhom and now its off to Berlin. Right after the final downbeat the crew swung into LOAD OUT mode and startedbreaking everything down. The exit for a show this size should be about 3 hrs.

Most of the time the crew breaks a show down pretty quick because the band and most of the management has already left the building this allows to the crew to push it out the door fast.

Last nights show was the replacement for the "security breach" on Sunday and as of today still no word on who this "security guard" was or if in fact any details. Due to the rescheduled many fans were not able to make the return and the area was pretty much empty.

The upper deck was totally closed off and fans had a chance to push forward. Bono apologized to the fans and stated he had no idea how many fans really traveled to Stockhom to see them.

The set list had a couple of returns "The Electric Co", "Desire" and "Angel Of Harlem" and to wrap up the evening "Bad" and "40"

The best video capture goes out to Matt from U2gigs. He has always had some of the best videos from around the tour. Well fans its off to Berlin. We will be on site taking photos and looking for you.

U2 Possible Belfast Venue Choice / Turin Show Update

U2 are doing everything they can to take their world tour to Ireland - with The Edge saying not playing to a home crowd would be a "huge disappointment" to the band.

The Edge told the Press Association that a venue in Northern Ireland may the right choice for the show.

"This show is intended for a kind of venue and tragically there isn't one, absolutely in the south, I think there may be one in the Belfast territory so we're taking a gander at that also.

"In any case, you can't design a venue. It's either there or it isn't. So we're doing a considerable measure of head scratching at this moment to check whether we can make sense of something," he said.

Proceeded whether U2 may be coming to Belfast, The Edge said: "I wouldn't preclude it."

There has been much hypothesis about U2 adding dates in Ireland to the visit, and The Edge said: "We are absolutely living up to expectations hard on it and we can't declare anything at this moment yet it would be a gigantic disillusionment to us on the off chance that we lacked the capacity play in Ireland thus every exertion is set into make that conceivable."

The band has recently commenced the European leg of their reality visit and will be playing a series of dates at The O2 in London and dates in Glasgow, before completing up in Paris in November.

Turin Update

Today U2 performed their second of two shows in Turin. On the off chance that you missed the premiere night of the leg yesterday, you can see the set here.

Ahead of schedule in the show, Out Of Control pivoted once again into the set in the second spot. This is only the second time it has ever been played in Italy after first showing up as an astonishment closer in Turin on 21 July 2001. Amid the second set, Desire and Angel Of Harlem both showed up of the European leg; Desire had last been played at the last night in North America on 31 July 2015, while Angel Of Harlem's latest execution went ahead 27 July. With Or Without You contained its additional live verse Shine Like Stars for simply the fifth time this visit. Toward the end of the show, I Still Haven't Found was turned into the set as the closer; like Desire, its latest execution was on 31 July.

A gathering of artists were carried in front of an audience to perform with U2 on Desire, and the guitarist got the chance to keep Edge's guitar. Toward the end of Angel Of Harlem, Bono wished Van Morrison a glad birthday (a week late!) and sang a piece of Into The Mystic. He then identifies with the group about Pavarotti, as tomorrow is the commemoration of Pavarotti's demise, and sang a snip of Torna A Surriento before Every Breaking Wave. Zucchero joined U2 to sing amid I Still Haven't Found.
