Last week we announced that U2 were coming to Australia in the summer but what we didn't say was which summer.

Well, all indications look like it's going to be this summer! It's reported that U2 look very, very likely at being here in November/December 2010.

"They're going to do Europe, South America and that's where Australia fits in before they head back to America next year," said Nui Te Koha, music reporter.

"I spoke to the promoter Michael Coppell to see what kind of scale it is and he said it's incredibly huge. It's like that UFO in Close Encounters… It will stick out of the stadium and it will be a force to be reckoned with."

So it will be a massive summer for Aussie audiences with U2, The Eagles, Bon Jovi, Peter Frampton and America all touring. Basically everybody is going to be here!

Nui asked promoter Paul Dainty if the summer season was in danger of becoming overcrowded? "We keep saying 'well, it's so crowded that someone is going to get hurt' and yet we haven't so far seen it. I think if it's the A-grade stuff it does well."

How excited are you?

  This is all well and good, but nothing is official until the band announce the stops themselves.
