Anyone going? Just booked and am so excited!

Please don't say Simon has lost his voice in old age.

Oh my god, it so was so good. I had a great time and danced and sang the whole way through.
Simon’s voice is outstanding, the band musically are amazing and the backing singers are fantastic too.

Can anyone tell me what time they come on to stage please? Our tickets say that the doors open at 6 but there’s two supporting acts. Just trying to plan a meal before and how long we might need childcare for! Thanks x

@MummyJ12 Yesterday apparently they came on about 8.40 - should have been 8.30.

Thank you! 😊

@MummyJ12 if you want to beat the crowds when leaving, duck out just before the very end of Rio - that's the last encore.

QuicheQuoche · 02/05/2023 17:22

Don’t miss Jake Shears, he was absolutely brilliant!
Didn’t see Lia Lia unfortunately.

MummyJ12 · 02/05/2023 17:41

Thank you so much @rookiemere and @QuicheQuoche good to know!

GeriKellmansUpdo · 02/05/2023 17:44

Loved the show last night. Simon's voice is as good as ever; so were the rest of the band.

Did not enjoy Lia Lia's angsty moaning.

Lia Lia’s I am a Moth song, not to be missed!
@MummyJ12 They didn’t come on until about 9 on Saturday. Jake Shears was on until about 8.40pm

They came on at 9 i believe

HadEnoughOfBears · 02/05/2023 19:18

Am going to Glasgow next Tuesday!!

SiblingFights · 03/05/2023 19:58

Went last night, they were absolutely epic. At one point SLB changed jacket and in doing so forget to put his earpiece back in so had to pause the song and restart - he was so utterly charmingly apologetic and shows that they are authentically live.

Honeyroar · 05/05/2023 16:53

Our turn tonight! Can’t wait.

MummyJ12 · 05/05/2023 17:06

Oh my goodness, they were so good last night!
Thank you to everyone for your help and advice. We left during Rio and managed to get out easily and didn’t get stuck trying to get out of the multi storey car park!
We had great seats!

Glasgow on Tuesday for me. Seen them many times. Love how they don't care about being perfect.

Gosh you did, didn’t you!

We were up in the gods, but it was still fabulous, and when everyone had their phones on it was beautiful.

It was so beautiful @Honeyroar loved it. Your photos are amazing!
I didn’t realise that Come Undone was written for Yasmin 💗.

I was at the Manchester gig and they were not disappointing at all!
They def haven't lost it!
I've seen some older bands in the last few years where voices have changed/ages and band members have stand ins but I could've closed my eyes and it was 1986 again 😊

foodtoorder · 06/05/2023 19:05

Forgot to add jake shears was great, had no expectations but was a big bonus.
Lia lia however.....not for me

Twoscotcheggsandajarofmarmite · 06/05/2023 19:10

I’m so excited for tomorrow in Dublin! Hoping to be taken back to my youth by the lads.
Hotel prices are outrageous though because Bruce Springsteen is playing the same night on the other side of town.

To be honest I was half expecting that for Duran Duran, I thought they were slightly off at the jubilee concert. But they were absolutely fantastic last night, spot on.

I thought Jake Shears was superb too. We missed Lia lia as the restaurant we’d booked was very slow, but I haven’t seen anyone yet say anything good about her performance (on Facebook pages).

Great pics. I feel as if I was stood right next to you @Honeyroar

Honeyroar · 06/05/2023 19:26

Well if you had been stood right next to me you would have been singing louder than Simon but not quite as in tune!😂😂

Rogue1001MNer · 07/05/2023 00:28

I'm sure the woman stood next to you sung like a goddess @Honeyroar

LemonTreeSkies · 07/05/2023 02:44

So jealous! All those yet to see them, have a wonderful time!
