I wonder if he'll just roll out the hits or whether as it's not really his crowd, he can just play whatever random stuff he wants. This whole tour is to celebrate 30 yeas of Joshua Tree... you can expect a lot of nostalgia laced set lists for sure. |

"It will be both a pleasure and an honour to play my part in what still remains the greatest show on earth" Please Noel, grow some balls again. |

I see there is already a thread on this (I'm always fashionably late to parties). Mods do your merge / delete thang! ✌️ Merged your thread with this one. |

Don't expect rare songs.
Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova, Half the World Away, (new single), Talk Tonight....

Aw shit! Why Rome and not Milan? Dammit. I really wish to see U2 live and Noel supporting would have been the icing on the cake, but going to Rome for this in July will be too expensive (and the gig ticket itself won't be cheap either). Just curious - how can a domestic gig six months from now be too expensive? Aren't you working? No offense, just curious... If we get tickets on monday, we're heading for Rome and a nice vacation in Italy.  I found it's pretty much offensive. Everybody has their own life and bills to pay. What's not expensive for you can be expensive for others. Those ticket prices are ridiculous - VIP Party Pakket, Golden Hot ticket, Silver Hot ticket from 488,25 Euro to 229 Euro. Standing ticket and seating category 1 are 77 Euro. My friends in England want to come over, but they can only afford the cheapest one, so I'm going my very best to get tickets for them. I might join them if I can get a cheapest ticket for myself. |

noel will not be supporting them here in the united states (of COURSE), but i will still go to the boston (foxborough) show, if i can get tix. Wouldn't it make more sense to do it here? I mean surely more Europeans know who Noel is over North Americans. ffs. |

Playing a handfull European major cities are easy money. |

I'd imagine that the reasoning has something to do with Noel gearing up the release of his album come the fall... and management probably doesn't think that playing stadiums with U2 is a good way to promote the record. Because, you know, selling more records isn't worth it or anything. As a matter of statistics, most artists will sell records to around 10% of the house every night if I recall. Maybe guigsysEstring can confirm this. |

Heard a promo for it on the radio and they mentioned NGHFB as being very special guests at the gig in Croke Park. GET IN!!!

All this tells me is that Noel's album will be out by early summer.

All this tells me is that Noel's album will be out by early summer. That would be a two year turn around from the CY release, and a one year turn around from the last CY tour date. That's incredibly quick for Noel, especially the touring. |

That's incredibly quick for Noel, especially the touring. Why waste a huge audience when you can be pushing material from your hipper/younger feeling album? Big forum for Noel not to be pushing new material. In my mind it makes sense. Noel is gonna be releasing music in 2017 regardless. Better to be summer 2017 than winter 2017.  |

That's incredibly quick for Noel, especially the touring. He finished Chasing Yesterday midway through 2014. And he's been working on this new one since late 2013. So I don't think Lennon'll be too far off the mark. And RE the touring: the dates were quite spread out last time - maybe he wasn't as fatigued at the end of it, as he has been after other tours? |

He said he started working on the album in Belfast on the day Lou Reed died - precisely October 27th 2013. So that's a hell of a long time in making an album (which he is still continuing with). For sure, he had Chasing Yesterday commitments in between, but I'm fascinated what this slow methodical approach will produce. At the very least, I expect the sound to be a lot more sophisticated - I know you've stated issues with Jeremy Stacey's drumming and that's one issue I hope we hear a great improvement on. I fully expect a more synchronised and holistic sound this time around with David Holmes at the helm. I'd genuinely prefer to hear one brilliant album made over a period of four years rather than a few half baked albums over the same time period. Should be an interesting year nonetheless. |

I wonder how much of this album is Jeremy Stacey even on? This is such a long stretch of time....there could be a long list of session musicians. |

Going on tour with U2 for 8 dates is a nice way to make him some extra money. Get on stage for half an hour, churn out some old hits, stare at his shoes to a disinterested crowd, walk out the stadium with a nice wee pay package with no effort wasted. Let's be honest, this is a very Noel type scenario. |

Let's be honest, this is a very Noel type scenario. I agree with you. That's totally Noel's style. Nothing fast or sudden. However......we know a new album is coming in 2017. The earliest March. The latest October. So why not July? That's only a 3 month difference. More to gain in July than October well after those U2 dates. Plus Noel might announce his own gigs soon. Who knows. |

I wonder how much of this album is Jeremy Stacey even on? This is such a long stretch of time....there could be a long list of session musicians. Well he went off to play with King Crimson so its possible Chris Sharrock might have been called up. But whether its Stacey or not, I've always thought Noel's albums in the last 15 odd years - with Oasis or solo - have featured very bland drums in my opinion. There's no subtlety to any drums, and its more akin to the gorilla on the Cadbury advert, except that instead of imitating Phil Collins drumming its just the gorilla playing the drums like any gorilla would. With a highly regarded producer this time, rather than just Noel doing it himself or hiring the dreaded Dave Sardy, hopefully we get more variance. |

I suppose he said he had to have everything done by Glastonbury (that's June is it not), meaning everything including artwork. It's often been the case with many albums that artwork has been devised very close to the release date. Fingers crossed. |

Noel has got to get over this idea like he was to release an album like its 1995. Doesn't work like that anyone. You can literally release it whenever. |

They're as backwards as Noel when it comes to the 21st century, its almost pathetic. |

Aye but do his management realise that? They're as backwards as Noel when it comes to the 21st century, its almost pathetic. I think they realize it. But when you continue selling albums, there's no real reason to change is there? I mean, he'll never chart in the Top 10 for his singles. His fans will buy his records no matter what. The release strategy is really formality at this point. Maybe a reduction in CY sales may change that, but that was more reduction back to the mean than anything else. |
