U2, planning two of the biggest concerts Montreal has ever seen on July 16 and 17, has just made thousands more floor tickets available to the public. Organizers judged that this could be done safely.
80,000 fans will attend each show. Initially, only 40,000 seats in the stands and 25,000 floor tickets were made available. The injection of more tickets will allow 15,000 additional people to attend each show. If all the new tix sell, this means around 160,000 fans could see U2 in concert over two nights in Montreal.
U2 is already working on a follow-up album to No Line On The Horizon. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, The Edge promised an album with a different sound little used during his career, electronic.
