Fact #65476

When:

Short story:

On their 360 tour U2 play the first of two nights at Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg, Sweden, Europe.

Full article:

Thomas Johannesson (promoter, Live Nation, Sweden) : I remember we were going to do Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg and I was certain we were doing two nights, about 120,000 tickets in total. John was very doubtful about that, he was convinced that the second day was to be Copenhagen, but I was holding the two nights in Gothenburg. So we go on sale with the first Gothenburg show which went well, then on the phone I told John I wanted to go for the second show. The sound of relief in his voice was very clear, because he’d forgotten to hold Copenhagen. I think I made him very happy with that phone call.
