U2 has to be make a stop somewhere along the East Coast considering the closest stop currently is Montreal… On the bands U2 360 tour website, a huge gap exists between July 19th to the beginning of August. Considering they will be on tour (U2), and the BEP’s who are playing Halifax will also be on tour at that time, I wouldn’t count this rumour out.

Personally I could care less if they played here or didn’t play here. I view U2 as sellouts who gain from any current environmental or human rights movement currently happening in the world. They share in the same interests as Al Gore, scaring the world with propaganda and benefiting over someone else’s misfortune.

To end… I also believe the whole environment and global warming phenom is nothing more then bullshit. The earth goes through natural cycles… I bet ancient inhabitants of the earth believed the world was ending when the ice age occurred too, and as far as I can see… It’s 2010 and the earth is still going strong.—Clayton Park

  1. With that attitude, no wonder the Earth is getting warmer. People don’t have to believe the world is going to end in 2012, but at least realize that there is a physical change happening around us by seeing environment turn more messier each day.

    But yes, the more Bono (and only Bono) seems to try to save the planet and it’s people the more he seems like a douche.

  2. As a huge U2 fan who keeps up on the band way too much, they will NOT be coming. For a variety of reasons: set is huge and difficult to ship, the commons actually isn’t big enough or appropriate for this tour, and they have already said through tour emailings that the tour dates are set. Tickets for the Montreal concert on the 16th of July were sold back in October. They plan WAAAAY in advance. And also, they never do concert “events” where it’s an all day concert or weekend event. So anyway, sorry about being a crazy U2 fan, but I just wanted to squash this rumour.

  3. Ah yes, U2 and Bono, the enviromentalist. Just how much energy do these bands use up in a day or two? Let’s look at it. Aircraft fuel to get them place to place along with buses, tractor trailers to haul the gear. The electricity required to put on performances. Now exactly how big is that carbon footprint? I just shake my head at the hypocracy of some environmentalists.

  4. Even if global warming is bunk(suuuure it is), it’s generally not a good idea to shit where you fucking eat, dude.

  5. Well put Bro Tim.
    Fuck you Bono. Spend some of your money for research to find a way to patch the ozone. All these tree huggers out there they should be able to put their heads together to come up with something. Maybe buy a shit load of AC units to stop all the glaciers from melting and keep the fresh water from flowing into the oceans, and stop fucking up the currents. Shit supply the material and I will wire it. Who gives a shit about global warming. Books say dinosaurs were wiped out by some huge event millions of years ago and the earth healed itself, now its our turn. LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, DON’T WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW RETARDS.

  6. I’d stick lighted dynamite in my ears before I’d listen to Bonehead and his tree fucking drivel.

  7. |If U2 do come, and they may, it will probably be in Moncton. There’s been no announcement there yet

  8. COULDN’T! You could not care less. Which means you do not care at all.

    If you COULD care less it means you care.

  9. to believe the earth is suffering under some natural 32,000 cycle seems reasonable until you observe a certain parasite constantly digging into the earth and setting afire ancient oil deposits… what’s so natural about that?

  10. Honestly, and I say this with 100% sincerity, ALL you morons who deny we are ruining the world are complete and utter IGNORANT FUCKING WASTES OF WHAT AIR WE HAVE LEFT… Frankly I hope your all the last to die, just so you hopefully get the worst of it… But one can only hope… BURN BABY BURN!!

  11. Geez-Louise Logic, mellow out buddy. I’m sure if you blaze up a big fatty and smash the windows out of a Starbucks, Mother Gaia will feel all better.

  12. Yes people. Lets all pay overinflated dollars to watch teh fucking black eyed peas. Rumour has it that Mckay also wants to bring in Bob Dylan and John Cougar. Maybe we could get John Denver too!!! WHo really gives a fuck about Bono’s ideologies? They are one of the best bands ever yet all Halifax gets is other places hand me downs. Newsflash. Black Eyed Peas were in PEI last summer. Who the fuck cares?

  13. Painful confession #3. I loved “Calypso”. Sorry, gotta go, got something in my eye. Spassibo Kyle, you fucking stuckach.
