KevinMFeeney @u2gigs It’s Vegas so I’m assuming they’ll stick to tradition and screw up a performance of Staring at the Sun
.@bookthoughts U2 are on at 10:40pm Vegas time. That’s 1:40am US eastern, 6:40am London, 7:40am most of Europe, 3:40pm Australian eastern.
@jeffreyakemp I think you missed one - perhaps Get On Your Boots?
@hedygabriel I’m not expecting them to, but you never know!
@CBarcaQC Yeah I wouldn’t be shocked to see EBTTRT and/or Elevation sneak in there.
I knew I forgot to predict something! Yes, let’s add that. twitter.com/johnnyo217/sta…
.@Maideneer Streets very rare outside full-length tour gigs (& rehearsals). Super Bowl, Glasto, U2:3D launch are only 3 full band examples.
@trojanchick99 They have 45 minutes. So I’m expecting 8-9.
I (Ax) prefer THIS prediction though: 11OTT, Electric Co, Gloria, ASOH, Heartland, One Tree Hill, Exit, Fly, Acrobat, LIB.
Ax’s prediction: Vert, IWF, Miracle, new (Best Thing), Desire, MWays, One, BDay, Pride and/or OOControl. Poss EBW after One & drop Miracle.
@Naomi_U2Sydney I’m putting ten bucks on “leftover IE shirts had an extra date printed on them so they can be sold”.
@Naomi_U2Sydney Though tempting to put it in IE Tour folder anyway just because people often don’t seem to find gigs listed in Various Dates
@Naomi_U2Sydney According to me (Ax) it’s not!
Glad to see my fave Indy driver there! MT @Hinchtown: Wheels up to Vegas for the @iHeartRadio Music Festival! … gunna take in some tunes!
@Naomi_U2Sydney Ax here: Streets has almost never been played at off-tour gigs. But its few off-tour plays are recent, so a chance.
Right now we have it as Various Dates, might change! MT @hjwallace1: now I’m curious/looking forward to how @u2gigs will class this gig.
joe_ahorro Guess I’m still on the #u2ietour tour! https://t.co/tzbXg4Pa2B
If we learn workarounds at showtime we will pass along. First act in 3 hrs, U2 in 6 RT @johnmbyrne01: @u2gigs not available in Belfast!! :-(
@trainmaniac Ah, nice. Thanks!
@trainmaniac Hola? How does that work?
With just 45 minutes to play I’d be surprised if they can fit in more than 10 or 11 songs. Matkin
@Naomi_U2Sydney It was, but you can also look at the Roxy set - no JT songs there at all.
@Naomi_U2Sydney Not in a full concert, but maybe for just 45 minutes set. Been done before, this broadcast was just… twitter.com/i/web/status/7…
Expect a stream here: iheart.com/live/iheartrad… Not sure if worldwide. Opened in Canada, said not available here.
@Naomi_U2Sydney That would be “Miracle” =P
Meant if any NEW songs RT @u2gigs: Matkin predictions tonight: No more than 3 SOI songs, two will be Miracle and EBW. If any songs, just one
But I’m usually wrong when making predictions so don’t be surprised if they pull out OTH and 11OTT instead!
What hits? Have to expect BD, Vertigo, One, Pride. Poss Desire, SBS, Bad. 45 min not a lot of time. No surprise if Streets skipped.
This is first time full band has played since tour end in Paris. Expect them to be playing hits more than new(er) stuff.

SilRigote Let the #U240 celebrations begin!!! https://t.co/XieSTFxNnH
harrykantas I was 5 when The Joshua Tree came out. My cousin had it on LP. He taught me how to sing With Or Without You in Greek-lish. #U240

Anyone else going to have People Have the Power queued up at 35 minutes past the hour?
@ConorMac1903 I believe it’s meant to be 45 minutes.
@redy70 Same timezone as UK.
Correction to previous tweet: I (Ax) can’t read my own timezone! For Aussie readers in eastern states, iHeart is at 3:40pm Saturday arvo.
@U2_australia …huh, no, you’re right. I must be going blind, I swear to god it said 2:40pm earlier.
@U2_australia Go check timeanddate.com. It’s 2:40pm.
U2 are on stage at iHeart at 10:40pm Las Vegas time. That’s 1:40am US eastern, 6:40am UK, 7:40am most of Europe, 2:40pm eastern Australia.
@thombullock Well spotted! You’re correct, and I sprinkled a few other references through the text (I’m esp pleased w/ a Thick of It ref).
A lot of people in the online fandom seem to think Dallas is engaging in some form of misdirection… we shall know… twitter.com/i/web/status/7…
@AndrewDowling84 Sorry, none of us will be there in person! But we will share all streams we can get our hands on.
If you’re wondering what I (Ax) have been up to during my absence, well… I published a book. Have a look/buy here: otago.ac.nz/press/books/ot…
Hi folks, Ax here. It has been a while for me, and I apologise. But I’m here and will be with you for the iHeartRadio performance!
