U2 Finalize TX/OK Tour Dates Updated*


After much ballyhoo and more than a few rumors of dropping the Norman stop from the tour, U2 has finalized dates in Dallas, Houston, and Norman, OK. As previously announced, Dallas will play Oct. 12 and Houston Oct 14. Norman, however, has been moved to Oct. 18 (19th was the originally announced). Tickets go on sale to the general public for the Norman show on Friday, April 17th, and for the Houston and Dallas shows on Monday, April 18th. The pre-sale for U2.com members runs April 14-16 for all three shows. For those who don't get Houston or Dallas tickets initially, keep a look out for the possibility of a second show if the first sell out quickly. Second shows have already been announced for the majority of tour dates (I can't imagine they'll do a second show in Norman, but I guess they could). Also announced, Muse will be the opening act in Dallas and Houston, with the Black-Eyed Peas taking over in Norman.

As a bonus, here's a U2-solicited remix by Justice of Get On Your Boots. Better than the original, although the original has grown on me. And here is the rest of it.

The Dallas show will be at the new Cowboys stadium, which is supposed to be unbelievable - there will be a HUGE videoscreen hanging over the field.
