Music: Re: [u2tour] Rumor: OneRepublic opening in 2011

It is pretty clear that U2 will never please everyone with the opening act selections!!
Silversun Pickups are a great suggestion!

I really LOVED Snow Patrol, even though they are mellow...just a band that i have liked a lot for a while, so it was a bonus for me to get to see them a couple of times, just like Muse was an amazing thrill!! So i guess I was happy last year.....

I was going to get Interpol this year, so i was all set to start listening to them more, but we will see what 2011 brings for North America..

I am thinking: Arcade Fire/U2 double bill for Montreal just for the hell of it (will never happen).
