Album in October. He'll have everything finished by Glastonbury, he'll do this U2 thing then he'll go on holiday before it gets released.

Is there anyone from UK/Ireland/Europe on here who can't stand Bono, but probably going to see them because Noel is supporting, just like me? I feel stupid, but I probably will end up with sitting behind my PC to try to get tickets for my English friends and myself next Monday. On the other hand, Noel will do a solo tour once new album is out anyway. Dilemma.

People think that U2 should support NGHFB instead of Noel supporting U2. I think that U2 are like 5 times bigger than NGHFB, so it is right that Noel is supporting U2. If Oasis reunites, U2 should support them, but for now U2 are one of the biggest bands in the world.
Why is U2 doing a Joshua Tree tour after 30 years anyways?

"If Oasis reunites, U2 should support them".
I'm not for Oasis reunion. Oasis are done. I didn't want Noel to support U2 and I'm still not pleased about it.
and why do they Joshua Tree tour after 30 years, you better ask these 4 men of U2.

U2 would never open for Oasis, didn't open for Oasis at the zenith of Oasis' popularity in '97, so.....
God bless.

U2 have never been in a position to support bands aside from their obscure early days supporting Echo & The Bunnymen or The Police. They never will merely support, particularly not Oasis. For all the criticism, lets remember Noel has been a fan ever since October was released in 1982, jumping on board with them before they were big. And with that I don't see a problem with him going to support a band who have been a major influence on his career.
They may be creatively spent, but they still kill it live and at this stage of both careers, its the best way to remind vast swathes of folk why they're great. And at the end of the day, that is the heart of it all - the music. For all the U2 trashing and snobbery which is just beyond tiresome (similar to Oasis, a rule that is blindly followed from the hipsters Bible), they are a great band who have released many great albums. And that's all that matters.

Bono's constant "give us yer money Bob Geldof impressions" are very irritating but he is a hell of a singer. I for one can't wait for these gigs, just deciding on Twickenham or Croke Park now!!

I can't stand Bono too, but I love U2 and their music.

Too expensive for me as I'm not interested in attending a U2 gig (not a fan of Bono, but neither a fan of their music in general), so getting a ticket to see a less than an hour-long Noel performance doesn't appeal much to me.
Plus both NGHFB tours didn't convince me much: as a live band, they're quite boring (he might change the line-up for this summer though, hopefully).
But the major con of this U2-supporting tour is that the sound quality in stadiums is absolutely terrible, so for that reason alone I won't be attending the Paris gig. Been to the Stade de France once to see the Stones in 2002: never again!

Oh God Noel why? Bono is unworthy to wipe Noel's ass. The Edge is cool though. I would buy the cheapest ticket, see Noel and leave once Bono started preaching. Why are U2 touring a 30 year old album that wasn't even their best? Bono's ego knows no bounds!

Those who intend to buy the cheapest tickets should remember these are for remote seats at the very back of the stadium, where not only the sound is crap, but you can barely see the performers from very far away, so you'll end up watching the giant screens & hearing a dreadful sound. Worse & more expensive experience than watching a good fan video on YouTube. Think about that before spending your money on tickets for these U2 gigs; I'll patiently wait for the real Noel tour a few months later, with a much more interesting setlist as well. |

I don't mind U2 and I'm sure they're great live, so you won't be bored and I know I wouldn't be either, but I don't LOVE them either. |

Liam to support Stone Roses and play new material? That's a neat way of getting fans to churn out more money to hear tired retreads of their debut album yet again. |

U2 would never ever ever open for Oasis. U2 has been one of the biggest acts not just in rock but music over the last 35 years. Oasis came and went so fast. Bono's had pimples on his ass last longer than Oasis' golden run (1994-1997). U2 are proper legends. |

Wouldn't it make more sense to do it here? I mean surely more Europeans know who Noel is over North Americans. ffs. 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. Support acts traditionally did aim for a 5-10% uptake on their record from arena or stadium dates, although with the changing way music is consumed this is no longer as guaranteed a target. I am a bit surprised myself that he hasn't considered doing large scale North American support shows given he can comfortably fill arenas this side of the Atlantic though, considering the US market has been fairly immune to his solo records thus far. I will be interested to see what plans he has for the latter area as more dates are confirmed in the future. |

That's a neat way of getting fans to churn out more money to hear tired retreads of their debut album yet again. If he does support the at the Belfast/Glasgow/Leeds/Wembley dates hopefully it will be a better promotion than the BE support date, especially if he performs a good set to an on paper receptive audience. |

I don't mind U2 and I'm sure they're great live, so you won't be bored and I know I wouldn't be either, but I don't LOVE them either. The cheapest ticket is about same amount as Noel's last gig at HMH last year. I believe we'll be closer to the roof of the stadium than ground, but it'll do for me and my English friends. They prefer to come over to Amsterdam than going to London from Manchester and it's on Saturday, so it'll be full of UK people just like many other gigs in Amsterdam. I want to see Noel again, but don't bother to see U2. If I can get the cheapest tickets, I'll have a nice evening at Arena with my English friends. We'll take it easy and it's good that we don't have to rush and don't have to be in a queue outside. It'll be a nightmare on Monday morning! |

A few friends of me (U2 fans) asked if I wanna join them for one of the gigs "Noel will be there too so you should enjoy it"  . Don´t know what gig they wanna go though, maybe Berlin or Amsterdam. I said they should get me a ticket and I will think about it later. Can still sell it after if I don´t go. Where you guys know the prices already? I couldn´t find them. Edit: The funny thing is that here in the media when they talk about the U2 tour there is no word about Noel. But in other news you can read about Liams twitter  |

Tickets price for Amsterdam show are from 485 Euro (VIP Party Package) to 38,50 Euro (which I'm planning to get). VIP Party Package includes pre-show informal dinner, welcome reception with drinks and snacks, separate entrance and all that BS. Once again, I'm not bothered to see U2, but seeing Noel playing at Amsterdam Arena is something, that's why I'll try to get the tickets. In deep of my heart, I'm hoping that Liam will do something (solo gig, support act) at same time. |

Tomorrow starts Red Hill Group presale, thursday is Wires Group presale and on friday starts the normal ticket sale for Berlin. I guess it will be the same for Amsterdam. Wtf? So cheap tickets will be gone I guess... |
