A radio plays singles and all of U2's latest singles have been as safe as it gets. None of their songs, apart from Elevation, rocked as hard as a song like One Wild Night or Have A Nice Day does. When Bon Jovi released the song Have A Nice Day they knew it wouldn't be played at AC Radio stations. When U2 releases a single it needs to be played on every single radio station on the planet and they cut off the balls of everything they release. They're supposed to be a rock band, not some wishy washy dance influenced pop band. They're everywhere, and not because they're thát good, but because they have become an easy listening act, good for elevators and supermarkets, bad for rock radio.
Further on, the rest of your post doesn't make that much sense either and hometownboy pretty much explained why. But if you feel that U2 are worth 150E be my guest, go spend your money, but keep in mind that for 150E you could visit 2 Bon Jovi shows on the Lost highway tour. And you didn't get to hear Lost Highway at the beginning and at the end of the show either.

I would rather pay 150E to hear vertigo twice then pay anything to hear lost highway at all! U2 may have been influenced by dance, they are a band that are constantly moving in a different direction, the one thing U2 are not turning into is a tribute band to themselves, thats what bon jovi are turning into! Bon Jovi were influenced by country, no different to U2 been influenced for dance. I certainly don't think one wild night is anywhere near being a hard-ass rock song!
the stage is a 360 degree stage, it is not "in the round" as it were, ie, in the middle of the stadium, it is still based at one end.
