U2 Vertigo Tour Leg 4 R.O.W. 2006 (Final Dates)

Weeks after U2 had postponed the final dates of Vertigo tour, a new schedule was announced so fans from Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Honolulu could finally get ready to see their favourite band.

So, the final Vertigo tour concert would take place in Honolulu as it had been announced months before.

In terms of itineraries, I was quite sure that a book was printed with the information concerning those 13 final shows but I never saw it until January 2013....that means 7 years after the end of the tour !!

As we all could expect they used the same design they had used before those final shows were postponed... but there is a little difference: This second edition of the Vertigo ROW itinerary comes with both laminated cover and backcover.

This book does include all the information related to those dates that were postponed so we see a total of 13 shows, starting in Brisbane on November 7th 2006 and ending in Honolulu on December 9th 2006. There were shows in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and that final one I already mentioned in Hawaii.





The information for the shows in Mexico and South America was off course left out of this itinerary as they were not postponed and went ahead on their original dates (Feb/March'06).

So what we can find on this book is all the info since the band left Dublin on October 30th, with the 5 rehearsals in Brisbane included, the 13 shows and their way back home once the Vertigo tour was finally over.

Nice to know that before heading to Australia the band spent just a few hours in London for the Q Awards on October 30th 2006. As mentioned before there were 5 rehearsals at QSAC Stadium near Brisbane. The band was flying on helicopter from the hotel on the Gold Coast to the Stadium.

You will probably remember that during this leg the band recorded a video for Window in the skies in Melbourne. They also played live for Japanese program TV Asahi at the top of the music station building. None of those events is mentioned on the itinerary.






After the show in Honolulu the band was ready for a trip back home on December 10th.

Next step....meet the Claw in Barcelona.
