Hours Until Showtime

6 Aug 2010
Maybe these Italians don't need sleep.

In the early hours of this morning, having waiting outside the venue all day, hundreds of fans got to meet the band... who brought everyone pizza.

'I came there at 14.30 and I waited with tens of other fans for hours, without moving. We hoped in an autograph but we had the whole band and a slice of pizza instead,' said Xalira on Zootopia. 'They all delivered pizzas around 1:30, when many people had already given up hope. I was in the first row with some other Italian girls... We got a pizza from Larry and ate it (6 people for 1 pizza). I think the girl who got it won't throw the pizza box away.'


Just a few hours later now and everyone seems to be back at the stadium, aiming to get into the show first.

'They have to play 'Moment of Surrender'

'Magnificent.' 'Streets'. 'One of the new songs..'

Anyone you talk to has a hunch about what the band will play tonight but no-one will know until Larry, Edge, Bono and Adam walk out on stage for the first time since last October.

Don't miss it... even if you're not in Turin tonight. Keep in touch with the show on Zootopia in this thread or, if you're signed in as a U2.com subscriber, on this thread.

If you're going to be at the show tonight and are planning to live tweet, use the hashtag

As well as keeping open a window on Zootopia, pull open another one on the U2.com Tour Page - that's where you'll find a live Fan Feed from Twitter and Facebook.

And after the show, check back here where we'll have a report on the show, the complete set list... and you can add your own comments.

Back soon....
