I saw this photo on a U2 message board tonight and it made me smile and giggle!

Wooo Hooooooooo!

Oakland Sold out

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggh!  This was the sound I made (loudly) when I read the news that U2 would be headlining the Glastonbury Festival this coming June.

I had read the rumors over the weekend, and I guess it gets rumored each year that U2 will play there.

Anyway, after reading the rumors I did a little research into the event.  Glastonbury is over 100 miles outside of London.  There will be more than 170,000 people in attendance all festival style.   

170,000 people??!  Holy HELL!!!!  

Back in 2001 I did Slane Castle and that was 80,000 people at an all day concert.  It was a long day but  amazing.

I am 9 years older now and to be honest I don't think I could be in a crowd of 170,000 people.

So, I guess it's OK that that it's already sold out right?  

Oh, and the reason for the Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggh!!!  Glastonbury is the only date U2 will play in the UK and Ireland in 2010.  Really?!  Seriously?!  WTF???

U2 concert tickets!

: )

Could you please just release all of your concert dates for 2010 now?  I know planning a massive tour takes a huge effort, but I am not very patient.  It looks like you may have missed New England in your plans for 2010 and I am hoping you make a return to the UK to make up for that.  But, rumors are swirling that for some insane reason you aren't even planning a return to the UK in 2010?! 

I am getting tired of hitting refresh on all my favorite U2 sites and reading the latest tour rumors.  Please.  Please.  PLEASE just announce the remainder of the tour ASAP.

Then I won't have to look at rumors like this pretty list:

What's the longest you've ever waited in line?

It must've been about 11 hours. 

My friends and I had gone to see Siouxsee & the Banshees at a concert on Boston Common.  The next morning U2 tickets were going on sale at the Orpheum Theater at 10:00am.  It was the Joshua Tree tour and the concert was at the old Foxboro/Sullivan stadium.

This was before ticket brokers and before I had a credit card, so we decided to wait overnight for the chance to purchase tickets.  In Boston.  On the sidewalk.  What the hell was I thinking?

Thank you to A/T for sharing!
