I don't really fancy seeing all 7 support acts so I think 4pm is a fair compromise. I haven't been to a proper concert for ages as opposed to small gigs or arena gigs.
Sounds about right, depends on what tickets you have and how close you want to get to reserve a decent view, we've done it a few times previously. From memory, it fills up pretty quick around the 4-5pm mark but there is plenty of stuff around the north of the park to have a look at - something to eat etc if you do get there a bit earlier, the usual outside gig stuff. The Cuban brothers are okay for a mindless bit of fun, got their own stage there.

Link to the event map if you haven't seen it....

Ed Sheeran at Wembley tomorrow.

Not by choice.

My sister-in-law bought the tickets and "invited" us along last weekend. We tried to back out... work, distance, rail strike (addison lee booked both ways from Leigh) and so on - but we are still going :furrow:

I have done remarkably well to avoid Ed Sheeran's music, I only really know the A team song as I murdered it on Karaoke once, so I genuinely have no idea what to expect

I'll probably enjoy it after all that

If this covers Glastonbury, then be warned, there is a big cat on the loose, near a neighbouring field. It is believed to be a very hungry puma. www.msn.com

Sold mine for Elton instead as both same day. Didn't think I'd have to make a choice like that ever and even more surprised I'd pick Elton. Guess I'm aging.

:smiler:

I haven't listened much to EN for years, and I really enjoyed the concert last night, but they/their music has always been "difficult listening" and now is downright weird - to be honest, I prefer the older stuff I was listening to back in the 80s (Kollaps/Halber Mensch era)

They even introduced one song as "this is a weird song... compared to all the other weird songs"

Wembley this coming Weds with the mrs to see Ed. Have seen him a few times now, including in a pub back in 2010/11 and always enjoy it. Can’t see it coming close to last night though.
