At 3pm AEST today, stadium dwellers U2 will do a world first by broadcasting an entire concert live on YouTube. Their concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California will be broadcast live across 16 countries, including Australia.

It may prove to be the only time Australians get to see the notorious ‘Claw’ in the foreseeable future, with talk of bringing the tour down under at a standstill.

Adding to our woes, it has been reported that the tour is yet to break even, financially, meaning that this afternoon’s show will be running at a loss for the four men from Dublin. It’s a hard life when you’re the biggest band in the world.
