Surprising that it's taken this long for a music snob to weigh in. ;)

prey tell - where the hell in the UAE could accommodate such an event or indeed which insurance broker would be willing to underwrite such an event (which is, I have been told, the reason they have not played here before)

As to the insurance, if they got it to play in Turkey than the UAE shouldn't be a problem.

do either of those dates fit with the F1?

if so i'd say it could be a possibility otherwise no ****ing chance.
whilst i like u2 my wife is a u2 nutter and frankly i could do without them coming here, besides they were pretty shoddy in glasgow last year.
