Well she has been warned right? If anyone is to blame would be herself who took that risk. I hope she can negociate with them.

The bitch lives half a mile away. Get on stage on time. Breaking a curfew oooooh! What a rebel. How old is she, 13? She really doesn't need anymore bad tour press in the UK. I'd laugh my bloody head off if they cut her show. Then I'd demand my money back!

She only finished about 10 - 20 minutes late for Sticky and Sweet. It was definitely before 11.00 and Wembley is miles from her place.

Someone mentioned the large screen around London. Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt mentioned on the Andrew Marr show this morning there are going to be large screens around London including Hyde Park so presumably they may be featuring performances of artists who've played through the summer as well as Olympic features. So, it could happen afterall!

UK is so uptight lately......ugh. I REALLY can't wait til she's back home where she will be appreciated. Europe has been so snooty overall lately when it comes to her.....a couple shows excepted of course (Paris, Italian shows come to mind). She's just overdone it there these past few years and she's just not appreciated, she needs to stay gone for a while. Skip most of Europe on next tour.

Whether she goes on time or late, the press there will slam her she won't get cut slack for "being a trooper" in fact they will probably blame her for not enough wood chips and too much mud. :lol:

Pulling the plug on Springsteen and McCartney is sacreligious! Unless there is some sort of national crisis going on where lives are in danger, there is absolutely NO excuse for that!

Well in fairness, she doesn't really have to do much of anything at all to get bad press in the UK lately. If she's on time they will find something else to slam her about. I just hope she pulls out both of her tits during that show, that will REALLY get her some nasty press over there. Fuck the UK press.

The reason is they have been threatened with losing their licence altogether as there has been a large increase in the number of these massive concerts being held there. They won't be able to host any events at all. Big loss in revenue for them.

And it's still raining!!!! Anyone know what the ground is like now?

And I think it is a warning to Madonna as well to be on time.

I didn't realise people were going to cue up that early! Geez! Any word on how the ground is looking? It must be going ahead as it's too late to cancel now but the weather has been terrible all weekend.

Madonna was today warned she will be cut off just like Bruce Springsteen if she over-runs a strict curfew when she plays Hyde Park.

The singer, 53, is set to perform before 50,000 fans tomorrow night in her first appearance in England for four years. But she has been told not to over-run the 10.30pm curfew after the plug was pulled on Springsteen as he duetted with Paul McCartney in front of a sell-out 80,000-crowd on Saturday.

John Probyn, chief operating officer of Live Nation, said: “It won’t happen again. We’ve had lengthy conversations with Madonna’s people. They contacted us. We’ve worked out with them what time she needs to go on stage to finish on time. That’s all in hand.”

Asked whether the plug would be pulled on Madonna if she were to run over, Mr Probyn said: “Yes. We’d have no choice. We are effectively breaking the law if we carry on. There’s not a lot we can do. She will finish on time.”

Westminster council today revealed it received one complaint about the noise from Springsteen’s gig on Saturday night, with a second yesterday.

The council, which has cut the maximum number of concerts in Hyde Park from 13 to nine from next year, said Springsteen had not breached its 75 decibel maximum. Last night Paul Simon also stayed within the sound limit, though many concert goers complained the music was not loud enough — a complaint of many who attended the Springsteen gig.

Police concerns about the need to evacuate the crowd via Hyde Park Corner were behind the decision to cut the sound before 10.40pm as Springsteen and McCartney sang Twist and Shout.

Springsteen said “I’ve waited for this moment for 50 years” as he introduced the ex-Beatle to the crowd. Guitarist Steve Van Zandt tweeted afterwards: “Is there just too much fun in the world? We would have been off by 11 if we’d done one more. On a Saturday night! Who were we disturbing?”

Rachel Gould, who Springsteen plucked out of the crowd to dance with him on Dancing in the Dark, said: “10.30pm is very early to end a gig. I was just really disappointed he didn’t get the chance to finish the set off. The last song is always where he thanks Clarence Clemons, who was his saxophone player.” Clemons died last year.

Fan Adam Coulter said: “It seemed extraordinarily petty-minded. History was being made before our eyes. Bruce seemed so happy to be back in the UK. Is this going to make him think twice about coming back?”

A Westminster spokeswoman said: “These time limits are a compromise between the interests of the organisers on one hand and local residents on the other, and are put in place for a reason — to get people out safely and to minimise disruption for residents.”

Mark Field, Conservative MP for Cities of London and Westminster, said: “It’s a matter of getting the right balance. There have been a number of occasions where these concerts have over-run and I think it’s right that the organisers decided to put their foot down and pull the plug.”

My friend, who I'm going with, went over to Hyde Park today to have a look. He said someone is already queueing! He tried to have look at the ground, but couldn't see inside the park. He side while there's already lines allocated for VIP and General Admission, there isn't one allocated for Golden Circle ticket holders.....BUT he said they're still setting up so hopefully there will be one by tomorrow. He's getting there by 1pm. I have to work so I won't be able to join him until about 3pm. We have Golden Circle tickets.
