U2 Aussie Tour For December? Post by: Dave-O 25 June, 2010 - 11:36 AM

Here's some good news for U2 fans. Sources have revealed that U2 will bring their 360° tour to Australia in December.
The Music Network said the band will officially confirm the news we've all been waiting for when they announce new dates of their cancelled US tour.
U2’s manager Paul McGuinness told one newspaper, "We've nearly done it (rearrange the dates) so I hope we'll be able to announce that shortly."
Not that we're one to brag (oh, what the heck, maybe we are) but as we reported in August last year, U2 have always been scheduled to tour here in December (see the amazing footage from their world tour above). So it looks like their cancelled US tour hasn't really affected when we were always going to see them.
This week, McGuiness said that Bono was “making a full recovery, he’s pretty fit” and he confirmed that their European tour will begin in Turin, Italy on August 6.
Tell us, how excited are you to see U2 in December?

This comment is not about the above but it was the only place I could find to write you a message. I would have thought that on the 1 year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death that you would have played way more of his music today with a lenghthy tribute. I was very disappointed which is rare for me regarding this station.

I can't wait to see The biggest and best band on the planet, and one that keeps mixing it up for the fans, tour after tour!!!!
I'll be coming to as many shows over there as possible, and that's if they even manage to cross the ditch to NZ.
Dream out LOUD!!!!

Yeah Triple M, what's with the Michael Jackson shun. While on the subject, where is the respect shown for the passing of astronomer Walter Baade, scientist and oceanographer Jacques Costeau and Battle of the Little Big Horn's George Armstrong Cluster.
And what about physicist Ernest T.S. Walton? Dude, he split the atom. How about a shout out to ol' Waltso with a little (Atom) and the Ants.
Haha, I amuse myself if no-one else. Oh, and U2 blow goats.

Here's hoping that Australia will include New Zealand. Either December or Feb/ March next year would be great.

If they visit us in December, they won't be leaving us a stage. They will need all three stages for the North American leg of the tour.
