KEY POINTS:

As tomorrow's first U2 gig looms ever closer, fans across New Zealand are pondering just what these epic concerts will bring.

We had a quick peek at the five of the Australian Vertigo Tour set lists and have come up with our own predictions.

All of the Australian
shows opened with City of Blinding Lights, followed by Vertigo and Elevation so it's a fairly safe bet the Auckland show will follow suit.

Likewise, Pride, Where the Streets Have No Name and One rounded out all the concerts.

Sunday Bloody Sunday featured at some point in all the shows, as did Bullet the Blue Sky, Miss Sarajevo and Beautiful Day.

If the band heads off stage and you still haven't heard your favourite track, don't panic just yet. Every concert wrapped up with a solid, six-song encore, which included With or Without You.
