"Some people expect U2 to come on like a political band. . . . Other people see us as prophets. Some see us as pop stars. . . . And we're not any of those things. We're probably all of them. I don't know what we are." -- Bono |

U2 Planning Winnipeg Concert?
@U2,
October 18, 2010
As U2 continues to announce more U2 360 concerts in 2011, it looks like Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, will be one of the next cities to be officially added to the tour itinerary. A concert on May 29, 2011, at the Canad Inns Stadium is listed in a press packet that was released moments ago as part of the announcement of new shows in South Africa.
The press package PDF can be downloaded from the web site of Big Concerts, the local promoter handling the South Africa shows. As you can see, it says tickets will go on sale on October 25; that's a week from now, so look for this show to be announced in the next couple days. This slip is similar to the accidental posting on U2.com of a Baltimore concert a couple weeks ago; that show has yet to be announced, but we suspect it will be (along with others) at the same time as the Winnipeg show. UPDATE: Thx to Todd for this link to 92 CITI FM's website, which also lists the date and says The Fray will be the opening act. That page then leads to Ticketmaster Canada, where the Winnipeg show is already listed. Meanwhile, no confirmation from U2 or Live Nation. UPDATE #2: The Winnipeg concert is now listed on U2.com's tour page.
