Even before the tour kicked off in San Diego, rumors have already been flying around of a more extensive international itinerary--like always. Now, U2.com finally confirmed that the band will be Vertigoing well into next year.
Eight years after they last played Australia, U2 are taking the Vertigo Tour to Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney in March. The shows are the first to be announced for 'Vertigo '06' which will kick off in February and also stop in Mexico, South America, New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
Yeah, that's as near as they come to Manila, my poor forsaken city. This leaves me with only two options: head for Van Diemen's Land (or Japan since it's closer) or launch a one-woman campaign to get rich tycoons, media empires, and "religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew" to bring U2's road show down here.
I sent emails to local promoter Midas Promotions and Principle Management early this year to find out if they were planning anything; both yielded negative. Maybe someone somewhere's doing something now that a swing by Japan has been announced. I really hope so and if there's anyone out there influential enough to get a production like this going, think of the retribution it will bring you if you do this. And, really, a big enough venue is not a problem. We can lend you the Bagong Nayon Pilipino Entertainment City (while the Senate sleeps on the company's fate!!) site which would probably get me in free...
Seriously, isn't anyone out there considering the benefits of seeing U2 play? Or are you all just gonna sit back, sipping margaritas, flaunting your pricey cellphones, and wither in all this acoustic rehash crap fake world you live in. I thought that with your US-bred education and Forbes Park twang you would know better.
