In exactly a week from this post, crowds will be pouring out of the Queensland Sports and Athletics Centre (QSAC) in Brisbane after U2's first concert on the Vertigo Tour's fifth leg. Here at U2gigs.com, we aim to bring you the Internet's most comprehensive coverage of the concert and the rest of the leg. The stage is already being set up at QSAC, and photos of it can be viewed at Australian fansite LyptonVillage.org here and here. Furthermore, rumour has it that U2 will rehearse in Brisbane from Friday to Monday, but we emphasise that this is merely rumour and should not be considered fact. However, if rehearsals do take place, we will be on hand to report on them. Stay tuned to U2gigs.com - there's much more to come, and between us, we'll be at all of the Australian and New Zealand shows. Look out for setlists, photos, and detailed reviews in the coming weeks!

It's been eight years since U2 last came to Australia and thirteen years for New Zealand, but the wait is nearly over! Enjoy the tour, everybody!

Regards,
Macphisto (webmaster) and Axver (setlistorian)
