The Medusa Fora

HI, I have bought a ticket for the birmingham arena show and need to know roughly when the band get on/leave the stage as Ive a train to catch at 22;20 from new street. would be massively grateful for any help

what time does the band literally get on and leave the stage at ??? I need to know because of trains

Good luck with that. They typically take the stage between 21:00 and 21:15, and they typically play for 90-120 minutes.

off to see themin Sheffield-what did they come on stage?

You will not be seeing much of the gig if your train time is 22.20

Aside from the fact that I am not personally doing this particular tour, I admire your ingenuity and resourcefulness. Actually, we usually bunk up in hotels around about now!

Merry Christmas

YEP, thanks alot.




Anyway i might be able to get a train abit later and if ticketmaster stop playing around there wont be a problem. when abouts do the pogues play fairytale? its christmas and i want to hear that song but probably wont if its played, as i fear, as an encore right at the end.

"Fairytale" is usually very late in the show, close to last.

Hi sorry but my pc wouldnt let me log in for some reason so im not a guest im RICHB. Without wanting to be repetitive I just want to check that the band will be on normalish time in Liverpool this year (21.00 to 21.15)? I only ask because I went see Dylan a few weeks back and he was on at 19.30 on the dot. Now I presume that this was because Mr Zimmerman wanted to get home for his cocco and buscuits and therefore we were all walking the streets by 21.30. I just wanted to check that this not a venue thing?

We've not yet been advised of the schedule for Liverpool. At a guess, I'd say we will go on at our usual time, but I will post the projected (it's never actually definitive) showtime the day before the show.

Any idea yet on a showtime for Wednesday Phil?

Also if you could advise on a time for Madstock that would be a great help too ! I don't want to take half day holiday if its not necessary.

Thanks !

According to the Madness site, The Pogues are on at 19.15 to 20.15 then Madness at 20.45.

Lucky you, wish i was going.
