U2 To Play Emirates Stadium?
Rumours abound that the Irish supergroup will be playing Arsenal’s ground next year as part of a forthcoming world tour.
Speculation surrounding plans for U2’s world tour reached fever pitch at a music industry shindig on Monday night. In a fund-raising auction, Bono snapped up a box at the Emirates Stadium which insiders said were for friends and family for the band’s summer show at the football ground.
The bash at the Grosvenor House Hotel was held in honour of Lucien Grainge, CEO and Chairman of the Universal label. Among the many heavyweight industry movers and shakers at the shindig were some of the rock and pop world’s biggest stars. How’s U2, Take That, Razorlight and Girls Aloud for a guestlist?
The speculation over U2’s touring plans comes on the back of a number of rumours already circulating. If you believed everything you read and were a fan of the band, you’d already be trying to source tickets to the following places: Dublin’s Croke Park and new O2 venue, a stadium in the Portugese city of Oporto and Paris’s Stade De France.
We would also officially like to start the rumour they’ll be playing next year’s Winter Wonderland in Brixton Academy on December 2nd, 2009, as main support to Led Zeppelin and following a re-formed Stone Roses.
