From Patti Smith to Kanye West

Lowdown on very cool line-up of acts playing with U2 in the next few months.

We already reported that Dashboard Confessional will be opening for the first shows in Toronto – now we can confirm that they’ll be staying on the road with U2 for shows in Chicago (Sep 21 and 22), Minneapolis (Sep 23) and Milwaukee (Sep 25).

Then Keane, who played with U2 during the summer in Europe, will get on board the Vertigo train. The English band will play shows in Boston (October 3/4) and New York’s Madison Square Garden (October 7th-14th).

When U2 return to Madison Square Garden (November 21st/22nd) the legendary Patti Smith will be performing with them.

And the final confirmed news on support acts is that Arcade Fire will open when the band return to Canada for shows in Ottawa (Nov 25th) and Montreal (Nov 26/28th)

More news on who is playing where and when with U2 this Fall as we get it. But that’s a pretty cool start!

The post says Kayne West is opening, but doesn't say where! Anyone know?

I'm insanely jealous of the November MSG peeps. I'll trade you Keane for Patti.

Ooh, I hope I get Keane when they come to Atlanta... *crosses fingers*

I've noticed that they've posted opening acts for dates both before and after the Philadelphia shows. Any clues/rumors as to who the Philly opener will be?????????

Can it really be so difficult to say who is opening in Houston? Unless it's Kanye or Dash(bored) Confessional or My Chemical Romance. If that is the case (one of those three opening) then I might as well show up an hour late. I don't even want to know if it is one of those three or anyone similar to them. Give me Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand. Hell, even give me someone unmentioned so far like Mars Volta or BRMC or the Shins. Better yet, get Arcade Fire to leave Canada for one night! But please, PLEASE, NO EMO!

This is killing me too. I check everyday to see if they named an opening band for Philly.
