It looks like 2011 is shaping up to be very busy for U2. To the delight of their Spanish-speaking fans in Mexico City, U2 has announced they will playing at their Estadio Azteca on May 14, 2011.
This gig is the first date in Mexico since their 2-night stint during their Vertigo Tour back in February of 2006.
For the rest of 2010, U2 will be taking things pretty easy, with only 2 shows in New Zealand in November on the books right now. The group want to give frontman Bono ample rest and recuperation time before plunging back into the rigors of a full blown tour schedule starting next spring.

There are a few things that come to find when you think of band rehearsals, and being quiet isn’t one of them. So it comes as a shock that Barcelona has fined U2 about 18,000 Euros, or $22,000, because of noise levels.
On June 30 and July 2, 2009, U2 kicked off their huge 360 degree tour at Barcelona’s Camp Nou Stadium. Because they were the first two tour dates, the band wanted to rehearse. Makes sense, right?
Well, Barcelona’s city government wasn’t too pleased that U2 practiced until 2 a.m. and has issued a fine resulting from them rehearsing past the scheduled 12 a.m. quitting time and receiving noise level complaints during the concerts.

Finally! Word has come out of the U2 camp about the rescheduled concert dates that were originally set for this summer. Recall the entire North American leg was postponed due to the back surgery and lengthy rehab necessary for frontman Bono. But all’s well that heals well!
“We’re delighted the dates are rescheduled and in all the same venues we originally planned to play,” U2 manager Paul McGuinness said. “It hasn’t been easy to accomplish this and I’d like to thank the managers of the many venues and sports teams across North America and Live Nation Global Touring for their help and cooperation in making this complex new plan possible. Above all we want to thank the U2 fans for bearing with us. They’re the best and the band wants to get back to where they belong, surrounded by their audience.”
All venues will be honoring the tickets from the previously scheduled performances, or you can get a refund at the original point of purchase. If you still need U2 tickets, consider GreatSeats.com, a national ticket broker who has these tix and for other stadium shows like Paul McCartney and the Dave Matthews Band. According to U2.com, “additional dates and cities to be confirmed.” Sweet!

5/24/10 Salt Lake City, UT: Rice-Eccles Stadium
6/1/11 Edmonton, AB: Commonwealth Stadium

The news has just been released that U2 has to postpone all their June and July tour dates, i.e., their entire second leg of the North American tour, and their appearance at the Glastonbury Festival in England. Bono underwent major emergency back surgery last Friday, and needs a minimum of 8 weeks rehab before the tour can resume.
Paul McGuinness, U2’s manager, confirmed the postponements, and Bono and the band’s disappointment, on U2.com, with the following statement:
“Our biggest and I believe best tour has been interrupted and we’re all devastated. For a performer who lives to be on stage, this is more than a blow. He feels robbed of the chance to do what he does best and feels like he has badly let down the band and their audience. Which is of course nonsense. His concerns about more than a million ticket buyers whose plans have been turned upside down, we all share, but the most important thing right now is that Bono make a full recovery. We’re working as fast as we can with Live Nation to reschedule these dates.”

2 | Jay-Z — “99 Problems”
3 | Beyoncé — “Crazy in Love”
4 | Outkast — “Hey Ya!”

So, what do you think? What songs should have made the list and didn’t? What should have been number one?
