U2 are releasing "Songs of Surrender": basically a (pseudo accoustic) rehash of their old "classics" and scrapping the barrel being the total nadir of their career, having finally reached Bon Jovi level or something else. The fire has turned to Ashes being this the proof.
To complete this nice overall picture, they also do a Las Vegas tour with "Achtung Baby", without their drummer just for fulfilling their contractual obligations with Live Nation.
I am quite shure Bono fanboys or girls will surely find this news quite exciting but beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, as various formats are available of course

I really love U2 (90"s are my favourite era) and even on last albums there are songs U really like (and some I really don't like) and are great live. But last decisions and "products" are very disappointing. Songs of Surrender (the songs already known) are really meh and totally ruined original songs. The announced Vegas shows without Larry (the drummer) is the biggest disappointment and totally against their (many times spoken by them) principles and just cash grab. Just call it a day and stop embarrase youself! *rant over* sorry 😄
These dates are contractual obligation to Live Nation, aren't they?
I heard the contract is with the venue. 14 shows spread over 7 weekends. The venue looks unreal. The shows are going to be based around Achtung Baby. Love that album. Might be worth a trip down there for the Grand Prix & throw a show in as an extra.
