EUROPE SHOWS ANNOUNCED FOR 2010

09 February 2010

In case you're wondering, all of U2's 2010 European shows are now announced.

 

The tour will visit Russia, Turkey, Greece and Finland among others places, as per www.u2.com/tours http://www.u2.com/tours.

 

But U2 Tour Promoter Arthur Fogel has urged fans to be aware. 'Fans should always check U2.com first, it's the most reliable on any dates. Recent rumours, like Dublin and Tel Aviv (Israel), are unfounded.' <_<

U2 Scores For The Irish

 

Posted on Friday July 30, 2010

 

U2’s concert at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin Aug. 6 has caused Italian soccer club Juventus – which plays its home games there – to move its Europa League clash scheduled for the same night to Modena.

 

Modena is 200 miles away, so the Turin-based side may feel they’ve not been given home advantage in either match of the two-legged tie.

 

The team to benefit – in the sense it’ll be playing the first match at home and the second on a neutral ground – is Irish side Shamrock Rovers, which comes from U2’s home city of Dublin.

 

“Apparently U2 have the stadium booked as part of their European tour so the venue is being moved to Modena,” Shamrock Rovers chairman Jonathan Roche told the Irish Times.

 

U2 has booked the venue for the next two weeks to rehearse for the return of their 360° tour after Bono’s back injury forced the band to postpone dates including a headline slot at Glastonbury Festival.

U2 postpones Spanish show due to general strike

 

 

 

MADRID — Irish rock megastars U2 have postponed one of their two concerts in Spain next month due to a general strike called by the country's unions on the same day, the band announced Thursday.

 

"Due to the scheduled general strike in Spain, on September 29th, U2 promoters have today announced that the date for the U2 concert in Seville, currently set for that same day will be postponed to September 30th," the band said on its website, www.u2.com.

 

"Although the specifics of the strike have not been announced, in the past the strike has affected security services, public transportation, cleaning as well as medical and hospital services which are all integral to the running of the concert."

 

It said fans who had bought tickets but were unable to attend the rescheduled performance could obtain refunds by September 10.

 

The band, which launched the second part of its "360 degrees" tour in Turin on August 6, is also scheduled to play in the northern Spanish city of San Sebastian on September 26.

 

The tour, which began in Barcelona in June of last year, is to conclude in the United States in July 2011.

 

The 16 North American shows were initially planned for this year but were rescheduled for 2011 after lead singer Bono underwent emergency surgery on his back in Germany in May.

 

U2, founded in Dublin in 1978, has sold around 100 million albums.

 

The band's last tour in 2005 and 2006 drew some 4.5 million fans at 127 shows, all sold out.

 

Spanish unions called a general strike for September 29 to protest the socialist government's planned labour market reforms that would make it easier to hire and fire workers.

Have you seen them in concert before Maria? :unsure:
