In three days U2 start their tour at Turin, Italy, after the wounded lad, Bono recovered and is ready for the 2 months of band's concerts in Europe.
U2 are already in Italy, as reported in U2Tours on rehearsal played a new song as you can hear in the following video. Of course, we know that this year (probably late 2010) the band will release their new album "Songs of Ascent", so it's perfectly reasonable to be playing in concerts some new songs.
Athens is in just one month from now, so what new song-songs will they play? Of course, do you believe that most people that will be at the Olympic Stadium on September 3 will be interested in this? Most would care if they play "With or without you" or "One", but this is a discussion for another article...
About the appearance of the Irish in Turin, Italian friends of U2 are saying that the band played at the rehearsal "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me", which they haven't played since 1998. Indeed, the songs played on the rehearsals (but of course this does not mean that they will be playing them live) are the following:
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me New Year's Day
Gone
Where The Streets Have No Name
One Day Like This - Beautiful Day
Magnificent
Soon - Moment of Surrender
Get On Your Boots
Mysterious Ways
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
New Song
Miss Sarajevo
More on Friday night a few miles from us...
