Paul, Consol Energy Center Pittsburgh Aug 18th - ARCHIVE
-
veggieburgher:
And Aug. 28 is a Saturday.
The Consol Energy Center won't open until late August at the earliest, but it's already a hit with the concert-going crowd. Just as 'N Sync christened Heinz Field -- much to the dismay of hard-core Steelers fans -- the new Penguins arena likely will open with a hot musical act. The first show announced for the new building, Lady Gaga on Sept. 5, sold out within minutes. The same pattern is expected next month when tickets go on sale for a 30th-anniversary performance of "The Wall" by onetime Pink Floyd mastermind Roger Waters. <snip> In the meantime, more concert announcements, including a potential opening show before Lady Gaga's appearance, are on the way, and SMG expects the upward trend to go beyond the honeymoon period.
Hmm I remember looking it up and it being a Tuesday. I think the person may have said 8/24...I may have made a typo with the 8/28. It was one of those two!

A rumor with a date is better than nothing! I agree that it's kind of suspicious that the post was deleted.. Why else would they delete it if they didn't want the news to be leaked? I've been trying to keep up on the CEC facebook page, but I missed that! Glad one of you caught it before it came down! I'm quite confident Paul is going to be the opening show here due to the speculation and logic. I was watching a tribute to the Mellon Arena Sunday night, and they mentioned that the Beatles were the first big act to play the Mellon/Civic Arena. How fitting for our Paul to open the doors to the new venue I think it's only time before we see an announcement!

Haha yeah they even deleted my response with just, "Wow, where did you hear that from?"...its like they wanted to get rid of all evidence of it even being discussed! I'm not saying that because this happened it must be true....maybe they just want to get rid of all rumors with specific dates like that, true or false....but read into it what you like. I hope its true though, of course. I still think its possible that maybe Paul would release dates for later in the summer during this break he is on right now...so perhaps before that concert in Mexico City we'll know. He still has over a month until that concert, so it seems like the perfect time to make announcements!

This just in! Worldwide conspiracy covers up Paul McCartney's unannounced concert to open Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA. PS: Don't tell anyone. It's a secret...

I've got a feeling

Yeah, I have a good feeling about this one happening. He would appear to be the logical choice, and he is the most rumored and speculated to open it...but I'm not going to feel completely good about it until its official! I've seen rumors and speculation go down in flames plently of times before..! But I'm optimistic.

I keep trying to refrain from getting my hopes too high for this.. but if it turns out to be true, then the hype and suspense is soooooooo worth it!
-
WOW! I think we're like 70% of the way there

I think we'll get it...but we won't probably get a confirmation till June

Just think: This thread could very well be an influential dynamic to this show possibly happening.

That was the furthest thing from my mind.

I think this entire FOrum plays a very large role in what Paul does. Much larger than we realize...

We're clever people, aren't we? I AM surprised at the length of this thread...over a show that hasn't been confirmed. Just imagine if/when it is!

I think it could triple a month before the show if it gets confirmed

Every day is closer to the day we find out! Hopefully we find out what we've been speculating all along! I wonder if Consol Energy Center is going to give a heads up advance of the announcement like they did with the Roger Waters concert...and Waters wasn't even the opening show.

yeah, I thought for sure once waters was brought up he was gonna be the opener. But aparaently not! I'm a tad worried though...sir elton has begun to add some more US dates in the summer...he may line up...

Yeah, I hope Sir Paul is opening it...BUT, even if he doesn't...if he really is going to be doing U.S. dates later in the summer as many think he is, wouldn't you think Consol Energy Center would be a likely destination for him whether he is the opening act or not? Its a new arena and he hasn't been in Pittsburgh in ages...seems like a match! But I do hope he is the opener....
-
Good point. Even if he's not opener, he could still play. But I really hope he's the opener and the concert is in august. It'll be harder for me to go in the fall
-
If Paul is coming back to the states in late summer/early fall, I think it would be certain that he'd come to Pittsburgh..being that it will have the newest big concert venue in the country. The Elton thing kind of worries me though about the opening act...In September he's going to be in Italy.. wonder if he is taking a break during the month of August before heading to Europe? Hope so! ...so our man Paul can be squeezed in here!
