U2, 2010-10-08 - Olympic Stadium, Rome

Fri, Oct 8, 2010 in Rome, Italy @ Olympic Stadium

I had a VIP package. Had to go to "Scholars Lounge" (Irish Bar & Club) to the U2 Fan Party.
Before going to the Irish Pub I visited Rome. Was hot but it was awesome to visit the Coliseum and Fontana Di Trevi. Took many photos to remember.
It was awesome. Met some new U2 friends like: Michelle Van Gerven, Maureen Dudley and Wendy Tsang. We had some presents, free lunch and even a tribute U2 band playing there.

We had 1 band before U2 ("Interpol").

The band was Interpol. They played for 45 minutes. I hate them.

Finally was time for U2. They started the show at 21h27 and played for 133 minutes.
When the 2010 European tour dates were announced on 24 September 2009, Coimbra was listed as the final city of the European leg. This show was not confirmed until 30 November 2009, displacing Coimbra as the last city.
