Additional opener in Oakland
A second opener has been added to the line-up for the concert in Oakland on 16 June 2010. Already announced as opening this show, as well as those in Seattle and Edmonton, is The Fray. The band joining them on the Oakland bill is a local group called Moonalice.
This presents a little tip to all of you in bands who'd like to open for U2. Your chances of success increase dramatically if you happen to be one of the founders and managing directors of a company that Bono also founded and directs, as in the case of Roger McNamee of Moonalice - and investment firm Elevation Partners.
At this stage, the Oakland gig is the only U2 concert for 2010 with two openers. All remaining gigs, both in North America and Europe, have just one opener on the line-up at present.
