Babyquack Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 What's up with only using half the stadium? What's up with calling it an arena? Poor ticket sales. It's just a name given to the stadium - just like Amsterdam Arena etc. - a bit odd though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Or maybe there's an orchestra behind them And /england Keep dreaming. But... they have a lot of stadiums called stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn. Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 U2? ? They also do the same, look at this http://www.u2startcontent.com/photos/5976-79561-size2.jpg . Almost a quarter of the field and the W E M B L E Y seats are empty. It's doesnt't really matter, just curiosity, maybe the stadium have a limit for crowds, for security or whatever.

LeicesterBLISS Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I will be slightly disappointed if they use the pyramid set up in the same vein as the arena tour. Would like to see something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogette Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 re gaps in the stadium seats, if GA includes lower-tier seats the back ones won't fill up, so yeah there will be gaps. Also that gig hadn't started yet, most likely folk were in the loo/at the bar/avoiding support bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quarter field is empty because presumably you wouldn't actually see U2 from ground level if you were behind them...always beats me how they could do an 'in the round' tour that was so focussed on people in front of the stage. And yeah there will be limits on crowd sizes particularly standing as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museymouse Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 In my mind at the moment there are a few stage set ups that I could imagine them having. One would be a fairly stationary set up, perhaps lots of video panels and a large screen behind them as they had for wembley 07 / reading & leeds 2011. I say this since they mentioned something about wanting to be less about dramatics and more about being close with the crowd after the warchild show (but we all know Matt and he loves his dramatics). I could also see them having a massive version of the pyramid set up ,but perhaps not moving. Something that the visuals could be seen from throughout the stadium , or maybe some kind of robot head above them that displays visuals throughout. But I'm probably completely wrong Here's hoping they haven't gone for a 360 set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[spoiler=Google Translate]The big surprise of Muse live: a giant robot that dances The English trio in Los Angeles testing what could be your next and amazing show. By Rolling Stone The big surprise of Muse live: a giant robot that dances Muse. Giant buildings that open, spaceships ... The English trio knows how to give a good show and has always surprised its staging. For the tour to promote his new album The 2nd Law, which will stop in Spain on 7 June (Barcelona), Muse has a surprise: a giant robot. → The madness within Muse: The Story Behind The 2nd law Has been told Rolling Stone, Matt Bellamy, Christopher Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard are now in Los Angeles, finalizing and testing the details of the matter: it seems that it would be a robot of just over 30 meters operated by remote control. A kind of Mazinger Z will dance group several songs, including dubstep Madness, which was the first preview of the album. Dubstep Madness haha. I thought the stuff about the robot was just something that Matt said on twitter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirthas Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Dubstep Madness haha. I thought the stuff about the robot was just something that Matt said on twitter? Lately Matt has proved himself to be much more trustworthy than we would expect him to be However 30 meters is waaay too huge! I don't expect it to be true. Otherwise it would seriously surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museymouse Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 who knows and that would kind of make sense as to why the layout was like that ... I just had an idea that would have been epic if they had done it a massive robot like that behind them as they play, but the whole thing is covered in LED screens ... - despite that being ridiculously expensive to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
