    You’re strangely obsessed with bed wetting.....

    Almost as strange as your obsession with U2.

    You really need a new hobby.

    Do have to question the mentality of that though...

    The version on RTE on Stephens Day had a lot more music, best thing, 13, every breaking wave and all I want is you in favour of those awful Cat Deeley interview segments. However the footage of Adam and Edge record shopping in Brazil was not included, so I've no idea how one would go about seeing the full thing.

    On another bother... The band sounded absolutely brilliant at the BBC. SOE is their best album in a long time for me, the tour should be nothing short of spectacular!

    If I'm not mistaken Adam said the European dates will be announced after the summer. I guess the Irish SOE dates could be in December like in 2015.

    This announcement surprised me, the only explanation I can think of is they will head to Australia and Japan after the announced American dates and do Europe as a 3rd leg.

    Evidentally sick of the unpredictable Irish weather, U2 has officially confirmed that there will be no outdoor show at Slane this year.

    Instead, they will go for some nice, cosy, intimate shows in the 3Arena. The Irish Daily Mail is reporting that U2 has block booked the 3Arena for a number of nights in October.

    They will be performing as part of their Songs of Experience tour and this announcement puts an end to rumours that the band were planning a performance in Slane.

    It will still be an absolutely huge performance, with a custom-built stage being set up and no expense spared. An insider at the venue said to the Mail:


    "Ireland is home for U2 so they will always bring their tour to Ireland,

    "There will be a number of Dublin shows that will depend on demand. The band will undoubtedly adapt and tailor their rig to fit the 3Arena, as the current show is being devised for bigger American and European indoor venues.

    "But anyone who was lucky enough to attend the Songs of Innocence tour will know that it is possibly the most up-close-and-personal show you will get with the biggest rock band in the world."

    I cant see U2 doing the 3Arena in October. They will probably do the same as they did in 2015, 4 gigs spread over 6 nights. And currently October in the 3Arena has the following:

    Pete the Vet: 6th (yeah you read that right)
    Cirque du Soleil: 10th - 14th
    Jools Holland: 20th
    Jeff Lynnes ELO: 25th
    Andrea Bocelli: 30th - 31st

    So theres not a lot of room for them in October. I think November is a lot more likely personally.

    could do from 1-9 Oct but whatever dates they play and they suite me I'll try and go

    wasant too pushed a few weeks back but this will be a different show compared to the JT 2017 Tour and will have a much different setlist and U2 at home Is always speical no matter where they play

    tickets will be expensive I'm expecting though

    Pete the Vet is "playing" there on October 6th so that rules out that stretch.

    That just leaves one day free in the middle of the 4 gigs. For the Innocence and Experience tour in 2015 the band always took at least a 2 day break after performing for 2 nights. i.e in the 3 arena they played 23, 24, 27 and 28 November. Assembling / disassembling the stage has nothing to do with that.

    Good to hear the subscribers gifts are arriving. What's the packaging like? My plan is to get the vinyl framed if its well presented.

    Finally got the vinyl singles collection (that was ordered last May), what's in the 2018 subscribers gift?

    (somewhat worried at winding up with two sets of the same thing.)
