Rock band U2's next gig is in crisis after residents living near the venue protested against the noise

July 29, 2009

Rock band U2's next gig is in crisis after residents living near the venue protested against the noise.

It is claimed a group of residents blocked staff vans moving the band's stage and gear after they were fed up with the noise.

The band had played three gigs at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin, but the residents reportedly had enough after the noise of moving the equipment in the early hours got too much.

However, a deal was made with the protesters who eventually let the vans move on to Gothenburg in Sweden to prepare for the gigs on August 1 and 2. But organisers are worried it will not be set up in time for the gigs.

The tour's director, Craig Evans, said: "It will be tight."
