The much anticipated U2 tour of 2010 has been announced, creating a log jam of awesome gigs at year's end with The Eagles, Bon Jovi and Ireland's finest all touring around the same time.
For U2 fans, the 360 tour promises to be a return to the U2 of old- with big sets, props and stadiums in play.
Let's take a look at what to expect based on recent U2 gig in Europe:
Helsinki- August 21st 2010:
U2Tours.com:
"I Will Follow is played for the first time on the 360 Tour. No Line On The Horizon is played for the first time in 2010. Edge plays acoustically - Bono calls it a 'busker' version. Bono and Edge debut a new song, Every Breaking Wave, and Bono talks him through the chords in the middle. It was the last song dropped from 'No Line on the Horizon' and is rumored to be on U2's next album. Pride is played for the first time in 2010. Bono sings an unknown song/snippet before MLK. He sings several snippets throughout the show that refer to the rainy weather in Helsinki."
From U2Tours.com: August 25th 2010
"U2 plays its first concert in Russia. Fans enter to a stadium that's heavy on police and security. Before the show, U2 learns that police have shut down Greenpeace, ONE Campaign, and Amnesty International booths outside the stadium and detained several Amnesty volunteers on the grounds that they were picketing illegally."
