Sources which prove to be extremely reliable have hinted to Atlantic Canada Rocks that U2 may be very close to inking a deal to play Moncton this summer.
The show, which is said to be taking place on Saturday, July 30th 2011 at the Magnetic Hill concert site could attract upwards of 80,000 people, potentially quashing The Rolling Stones’ record in 2005.
We see this July 30th date as being extremely likely, as it is a Saturday, has been brought up with several other sources, and fits into their tour schedule.
A U2 show rumour is not unheard of here, as talks to bring the Irish rock band have been taking place since as early as 2005, just after the Stones played the largest outdoor venue in Atlantic Canada.
Fans have been waiting long for this day to come, and will pour into Moncton to see possibly the biggest show in our history.
It seems maybe U2 has “found what they are looking for” in a concert deal and we can hopefully look forward to seeing them.
U2 has been on their 360 Tour for over 2 years now, with the tour continuing into 2011. Before the July 30th date, the band has a show in Pittsburgh, taking place on the 27th.
Are you excited? Will you finally find what your looking for after you’ve seen U2 live?
