Apple fans hoping to get elevated with Bono and The Edge at the Flint Center will be disappointed to hear the band’s spokespeople have squashed the rumor that U2 will play at the iPhone 6 event.
Rumors began bubbling on the internet this week that U2 would release its album by preloading it on the iPhone 6. Reports also claimed that Apple’s mysterious white box outside the Flint Center for the Performing Arts in Cupertino is really a giant soundstage for U2 to play on.
U2 denies band will play at Apple’s iPhone 6 event
There are plenty of reasons why it’d make sense, but U2’s publicist is denying it:
“They are not releasing their album on the iPhone, and they are not performing at the iPhone launch,” the spokeswoman told Independent IE.
Could this be classic Apple subterfuge, trying to hold on to its secrets before the party? The rep didn’t deny that U2 and Apple have some partnership. Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. But maybe they’ve just struck a deal to release their next album as an iTunes Music Store exclusive, like Queen Bey did last year.
Whatever plans Apple has for that big white box, we’ll be at the event live to find out in person when Apple unveils its new bundle of goodies for the fall.
