U2 deny plans for extra Dublin date

The U2 camp have dismissed reports that they’re planning to play a fourth Dublin show.

Referring to a story that appeared in yesterday’s Irish Daily Mirror, the band’s European tour coordinator, John Giddings, said:

“There will be no fourth date added to U2’s Croke Park shows next month. I can confirm that the schedule for U2’s Vertigo 2005 European tour is complete as announced and there will be no additional shows.”

Fans desperate to see Bono & Co. should note that there’s still limited ticket availability for their shows at the City of Manchester Stadium (June 14 & 15); Twickenham Stadium, London (18 & 19); and Hampden Park, Scotland (21). Log on to www.ticketmaster.co.uk for details ASAP.
