Countdown Day 5

1 Aug 2010116
On Friday the 2010 European leg of U2 360°  opens at Turin's Stadio Olimpico.

But with just five days to go, a strange light is throbbing in the dark recesses of the stage.

Only those who have seen it before may dare utter its name.

What is this mystery? (Think you know? Illuminate the rest of us ... in the comments below. )

See all 2010 Tour Countdown Clips and  in Zootopia check out videos and photos that fans are sharing ahead of the first show.)

I hope this means that Ultraviolet will be staying in the setlist. It was amazing when I saw it last year. Can't wait until next year!
