Kevin Mazur

U2 commenced the European leg of their iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour in Turin on Friday night, with Bono attracting regard for the situation of evacuees attempting to reach Europe.

The band opened their show at the Pala Alpitour in the city with The Miracle of (Joey Ramone) and raged through a set which included more tracks from new collection Songs of Innocence and hymns from all through the quartet's profession.

Its unquestionably perhaps for U2 shows in Dublin before the end of the year. Albeit just before making that big appearance in Turin on Friday night the band and their administration were not able to affirm precise dates or a venue.

U2 were commencing the European leg of their visit to a pressed house in Turin's Pala Alpitour venue. They play 34 shows altogether on this leg of the visit, completing up in Paris on November fifteenth. Press reports have it that the band have piece booked rooms in Dublin's Gibson Hotel, which is contiguous the 3Arena, from November 25th to November 29th. The 3Arena is free on these evenings, as it is over the Christmas-New Year period.

Direct from a couple of weeks occasion in the south of France, the Euopean Innocence and Experience visit won't vary that definitely from that performed in north American venues.

The band are avid to play Dublin on this keep running of shows however there is an extreme logistical issue in that their stage setup just does not fit into the 3Arena.

A monstrous stage is partitioned into three segments, the conventional rectangular stage for the "Purity" some piece of the show and a littler "B" stage for the "Experience" part. A uniting walkway runs the length of the venue over which a 96ft multiplied sided feature screen hangs.

Venue: 3Arena

It is still misty if or when they play Dublin shows, how they will display the show given the constrained floor space of the 3Arena.

All that much an account driven show, enumerating their ascent from Northside wannabes to worldwide supergroup, it's a significantly more close and individual excursion that the past 360 visit.

In any case, in the event that they choose to do the Dublin demonstrates to it is likely that the visit will proceed into 2016 and potentially go outside in another arrangement.

Be that as it may, for the minute late November-December resembles a positive possibly for the Innocence and Experience leg in Dublin.
