By most accounts, U2 is planning to tour again in 2015. If Adam Clayton's recent words come true, it could be an interesting and unique trek for the band and fans. We finally got our hands on the latest issue of Q magazine, which features U2 on the cover and includes interviews done with Bono, The Edge and Adam in the days right after the launch of Songs Of Innocence.
The Q article says U2's tour is due to start in May 2015, and includes this quote from Adam about there possibly being two versions of the show:
"We're booking the tour in pairs of shows. We want to have two different shows. That's the plan at this point, but it could all change."
Two different shows? That could be any number of things. We've heard rumors of the band wanting to do a show filled with hits and well-known songs in larger venues for a mass audience, and then smaller shows with less popular and less known songs for longtime fans. Alternatively, they could do a "hits" show and a separate show focusing more on newer material. Or it could be two entirely different ideas. Sounds interesting, in any case.
In the article, Clayton also estimates that the new album, Songs Of Experience, is about 70 percent complete, but he didn't make any guesses on when the other 30 percent would be finished.
