Countdown Day 1

5 Aug 201078

Twenty four hours until showtime in Turin.

With rehearsals done for another day at the Stadio Olimpico, fans who've been waiting outside the venue are in for a surprise.

See all Countdown Clips and, if you want to keep up with what people are saying during the opening show, check out this thread in Zootopia for live updates and tweets from Turin.

(Latest: after rehearsals tonight, Larry, Edge, Adam and Bono came out to meet fans outside the stadium gates... and brought pizza. For everyone! Stories and photos in that Zootopia thread)

Waiting
Dear, Dear Bono, I said you were not done yet. I hold my iPad speaker to my ear, listen to rehearsals all the way from Italy, I Can't Wait any longer for your love. It is like a transistor radio, a car's radio parked on a hill in the night, it is the early 80's, It is New Years Day in Dublin all over again. God Bless You all. We will wait for you. Be well, take your time, see you in Miami town, with much Love, Lisa in Atlanta

Will enjoy following the Europe tour on my laptop in Canada!!! I have goosebumps and I cannot even be there! Arcade Fire live on Youtube tonight as my consolation of not being in Turin tomorrow.

Since you're a pro bono I think without question you can bring all you're fan base back some of Itayies finest craftsmanship. to do otherwise would be just another Hail Mary.
