Anyone tuning in to this or too busy jubileeing elsewhere ? Thought I'd start a thread .

I'm currently watching ITV from the Manchester arena.

I'd rather watch paint dry

Sparklingbrook · 04/06/2022 18:05

I've had a look at who is on and I'm not hugely impressed. Is there a list of times as to who is on when?

the80sweregreat · 04/06/2022 18:06

The acts are a weird mixture I must admit ; no idea of the order they will appear.

the80sweregreat · 04/06/2022 18:07

Diana Ross is the big act, so I assume she'll be on last! She is also at Glastonbury this year too

Yes am going to watch it when I get home from work. Havnt seen the line up though!

UrsulaPandress · 04/06/2022 18:09

Why are you at the Arena?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 04/06/2022 18:09

I was gobsmacked to hear Diana Ross was appearing. Why choose an American star, and why (sorry Diana) pick one who's getting on in years and past her peak to be the headline act? Did none of the top drawer UK acts want to do it?

the80sweregreat · 04/06/2022 18:10

I'm only watching the television at home , ITV have a jubilee street party on from Manchester !

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 04/06/2022 18:11

Wikipedia says this is the line up:

George Ezra
Diana Ross
Duran Duran
Queen + Adam Lambert
Andrea Bocelli
Alicia Keys
Rod Stewart
Mabel
Sam Ryder
Hans Zimmer
Elton John
Mimi Webb
Craig David
Ella Eyre
Elbow
Jax Jones
Celeste
Sigala
Nile Rodgers
Andrew Lloyd Webber
Stefflon Don

Hmm.

the80sweregreat · 04/06/2022 18:12

I'm surprised they have Diana Ross as the big act! Maybe she volunteered because she's also doing Glastonbury in a few weeks!
Elton is on too.

OP posts:
the80sweregreat · 04/06/2022 18:14

I do like Celeste and Nile

Oh no are we going to get another Elton rendition of ‘I’m Dill Danding’ ? 🙈
At least theres no Paul McCartney 👍

Mumdiva99 · 04/06/2022 18:54

Well I'm looking forward to it. Especially the musicals section. We have been away so haven't really got into the jubilee spirit. I want to join in the fun. (Even if I don't know them all....).

I read there are surprise guests - still time for Macca to show up!

Nooooo. No Hey Judy Judy Judy. Please!

the80sweregreat · 04/06/2022 18:56

Oh I bet Macca shows up at the end ...
( no idea , but I would put a few quid on it if I had any spare !)

It'll be ' hey Queenie , Queenie Queenie ' !
.. or maybe not

OP posts:

I'm going to give it a try.

the80sweregreat · 04/06/2022 18:58

I do love ' I'm still standing '
.. every time I was dumped as a teen I'd play it. Wore it out !

nancy75 · 04/06/2022 18:58

Someone put this on Twitter a while ago, would have been a far more interesting line up 😂

That is funny Nancy !
The smiths doing ' the Queen is dead ' may have ended up with 'em all in the tower up the road !!

Anyone remember the Diamond Jubilee concert, where (this dates it) the hero of the hour was Rolf Harris, performing 'Two Little Boys' when there was a technical hitch. 🙀

Sparklingbrook · 04/06/2022 19:01

Is it supposed to be the Queen’s favourite bands/singers? Interesting mix 😂

the80sweregreat · 04/06/2022 19:03

Rolf Harris .. blimey :(
I do remember it.

That was hilarious and I'm sure Macca will be there giving the Queen the thumbs up.

The thread on MN was very funny. I can't remember what the concert was for though.
