markm Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 By 9:30 the stage lights will be impressive but it won't be properly dark until at least 10. Honestly - Live Nation are fuck wits for scheduling this gig outdoors in the UK in the middle of July. I don't think they had much choice with all the indoor arenas in London booked for the Olympics. They should gave gone for the Emirates stadium in highbury they could have at least started a bit later. I saw Coldplay there in June and they started around 9.30pm.

Kim Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm sure this choice of disastrous venue is all a big Live Nation tie-in what with them using the same stage for diff acts etc. I'm sure Madge is RAGING about the whole thing. But have a great time y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have a great time y'all I doubt she'll have a clue really. That's Guy's problem to fix. The stage is sorted, it's just down the road, it's stopped raining, it's sold well. She just needs to get there on time. So, not a disaster at all. It's way more convenient than Wembley and probably a much better concert venue. The weather nearly screwed things up but it appears to have come good. She'll be at home with her feet up watching Loose Women so as concerts go, I imagine this is one of the easier ones.

Kim Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well, she'll have a clue when she's told she has NO CHOICE but to start at half 8 or 9 or they'll pull the plug. I'm sure she thought she could break the rules as per. She's clearly decided she wants to start about 10pm ish this tour for whatever reason. Quite honestly, the stage looks SHIT in the daylight sounchecks we've seen so far so I don't blame her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But If they can cut Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen off in the middle of a song, they can do it to Madonna. The stage will look dull in soundchecks without any lights or videos. It will be fine!

They've played some of the screen vids on soundchecks. I dunno if it's different screens or what but they don't show very well at all in daylight, certainly less so than S&S, but yeah i'm sure it'll be fine.
