The Edge arrived almost a week ahead of the band. While the crew is focused on getting the stage ready.

Edge landed Saturday 19^th on a commercial flight ( Flight 533 Lan Chiile ) Of course traveling first class with his wife . Most of the flight they spent sleeping, taking some photos with the airline crew.

After landing, “The Edge” and family left the airport via VIP area and left the same day heading to northern Chile, to San Pedro de Atacama.

The guitarist plan is consistent with the initial requests were sent to all producers of his visit: the possibility that the trip mix business with tourism activities. In fact, last week, those responsible for the appointment to the team he sent the group a list of different places to visit, which included locations in the north and others further south, as Villarrica and Pucon.

 Bono, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen are thought to be arriving between now and tomorrow afternoon, on a private plane that also will  bring their families. The band will have a couple of private jets on stand by so that they can travel South America between shows. 

 Jack  Berry ,production manager, anticipates that the band will prepare a special video series designed in Chile.  “Bono has always been very interested in Chile, its history and its present, and this material is on that side,” defines Berry. Since early this year, the band’s staff has requested information about the earthquake of 2010, the bicentennial and the rescue of the miners. They have even asked for contacts to reach the  San Jose miners.

Everything seems to be ready for this Friday.
