Chicago Concert Announcement :: U2

Posted on Friday 6 March 2009

u2

Rumors are circulating online and via twitter that U2 will begin their Kiss The Future tour at Soldier Field in Chicago on Saturday, September 12th. Full tour dates are expected on Monday, but as with many things online, they are very likely to appear in advance of that.

Billboard.com states, “The top ticket price will be slightly higher than last time and the bottom price will be lower, with the floor seats — the closest to the stage — the lowest priced. In fact, playing larger capacity venues allows for more conservative pricing overall. Field level is going to be $55, and there will be 10,000 tickets a show, every show, at $30, Fogel says. The price points are $250, $90-$95, depending on the market; $55 and $30.”

I’m probably in the minority of those that are really enjoying No Line On The Horizon. I actually just placed my order for it on vinyl. They were my first favorite band, and despite what you may feel about their recent recording output, they are a consistently great touring machine.
