1. Yes 2. Had heard, not impressed, saw them supporting Muse and I just thought they had too laid back a sound to be support.
Have just listened to their album on Spotify - it's not exactly going to liven up the occasion is it ? Bit disappointed it's not the Kaisers or Snow Patrol or even Glasvegas. But then who cares, it'll be my first U2 gig after all these years !
Would rather see Elbow to be honest and thats no dig at U2. Seen them beofre and were excellent. But the other bands you listed aren't in Elbow's class. unbelievable last album and the live gig with the BBC orchestra was epic
Agreed Middle aged men after another payday.</p> Anyway. isn't Bono curing cancer and poverty that week ? </p>
miss out the middle man............ and hand your cash to the IRA funds if you are going to watch u2!! allegedly.
