Belfast Show 1 & 2 (10).jpg

New York City:  We are busy in the office today; working our calendars for our field reporters and photographers to be able to get the best crew out to most if not all of the tour cities and we got a bit of a laugh this morning with some comments from The Edge. Take a look:

During a Rolling Stones interview, The Edge was asked "Do you have any idea how the next album will be distributed? There was so much attention paid to the distribution of the last one."
 Edge said: My plan is that Bono and I would sneak into everyone's house and put a CD under their pillow.

Oops Billboard! Loose Lips, Creates A Buzz

New York City:  24 hrs may seem like a long time, however, have learned very early sometimes you better wait before reporting a source's statement.

It looks like Billboard's reporter Lipshutz may have jumped out a bit early on a story that suggests U2 2017 concert schedule.

Jason Lipshutz ( which we are a fan of his work) published a story suggesting sources told him that U2 would do a series of dates and even suggested a headline slot a major festival. However, within a short time, the whole article has been edited to remove the rumors and any of the proposed details. 

U2 marketing machine would want to be in full control of the timing and release of any tour news.  Too bad for Jason that all of the outlets picked up on his story and ran with it as if it was gospel.  U2 fans don't worry the tour news will be forthcoming in due time.
