To Happy Camper - No, the correct name for the stadium is Camp Nou.

to Bob....they have 3 stages- when one is hosting, one is being set and the last one is travelling......

U2 are incredible live, and I have seen some of the worlds greatest acts over the years, just a pity I like millions of others will never get to see Jacko live, but then again he would have been a shadow of himself 20 years on

'No Line On The Horizon" is a donkey of an album, an epic fail. File under "Completely Irrelevant White Man Rock" - the very thing they were attacking with "Zooropa" and "Pop". Shame...

Why does it say Camp Nou? Isn't called Nou Camp?

I'm NOT a U2 Fan. BUT if they are over rated why and how can they fill huge stadiums! I think we have a few sour grapes from Northern Ireland.

How do they manage to erect this stage in time for every set? The roadies have been working on the one in Barcelona for 4 weeks! There is only 2 days between each set location!!

what happened to save the planet from pollution? Oh, it's Bono. Sorry. I thought for a moment it was someone who cared...

rubbish band, went to see acdc at wembley on friday night and they are twice the age of U2 and twice the band. when was the last time u2 had a great song was it the 80's? if bono was made of chocolate he'd eat himself.

Pompous, tedious and overrated...never has a band passed its sell-by date more than U2. I wonder how much of the profits of this tour will go to the poor? Or will Bono prefer to lecture us whilst moving his money out of Ireland so the taxman can't get it? Eh, Bono?
