When was the first time you became a fan of U2? For thousands and thousands of people in the Ottawa area, they became fans in 1980 after seeing the Irish band perform at Barrymores on Bank Street. Oddly enough, the club capacity is about 500, but thousands of people claim that they were there. Its almost become an urban legend, except for the fact that this show actually did take place. Do you someone who was there? Chances are, you do!! lolU2 has just announced the dates for their new tour, its being billed as the '360 degree tour'.
It starts in Europe in June, and it will come to North America this fall. Unfortunately, no Ottawa dates (its a stadium tour only, and we only have 1/2 a stadium in Ottawa right now).
The band plays Toronto on Sept 16th. Tickets go on sale to the general public on March 30th, but you can get in on a pre-sale if you become a member at www.U2.com. That will cost you $50.00 U.S., but you will get a CD sent to you in the mail, as well as other bonuses.
