Hanamay Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I recently emailed the o2 Arena in London (I'm seeing them October 23rd, yay!) and they let me know the show times which are as follow: DOORS: 18:30 Prima Donna: 19:00 Interval: 19:30 Green Day: 20:00 Finish: 22:50So, nearly a three hour Green Day set? How long were most other shows?Sorry if this isn't thread-worthy, I just thought I'd share as it's likely to be the same length for other peopleseeing them in the UK this month.
The Disappearing Boy Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 most shows are 2-2 1/2 hours with some over 3 hours. i would say that is a rough time. most shows recently have been around the 2 hour mark
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Well both my shows were about 2:20 long, but both the venues said they'd be 3 hours long.
Princess Consuela Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah, they last more or less 2:15. But who knows, maybe UK will be lucky enough to get 3 h long shows
Nele Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Well both my shows were about 2:20 long, but both the venues said they'd be 3 hours long.yep, pretty much the same for me
Hanamay Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 Well both my shows were about 2:20 long, but both the venues said they'd be 3 hours long.Haha here is me getting over-excited! I cant even remember how long Milton Keynes was but around the same mark I suppose.
sampy Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 same kind of schedule were in stockholm, but doors were open at 18.00, they played about 2 and half hours.
04rebhop Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Wow that seems like forever! I'm so excited now!!
Sister of Grace Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 it's been the same times for almost all shows.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Hey I don't wanna spoil the party for you but they promised us 3 hour shows too and both were way less than that
Hanamay Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 it's been the same times for almost all shows.No, according to most posts on here so far it's been around 2 and half hours so saying that we do get those times it's about 20 minutes longer - that's if we get what we're told!
Sister of Grace Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 No, according to most posts on here so far it's been around 2 and half hours so saying that we do get those times it's about 20 minutes longer - that's if we get what we're told!the set times has been the same in advance.for example stockholm show:Doors: 18.00Prima Donna: 19.00Green Day: 20.00Finish: 23.00
Ally Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 just cos the schedule says 3 hours, it doesnt mean they will be on 3 hours, though it is highly likely with Billie and his love of performing!
Tubbie Head Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Well.. They also said that they would play for 3 full hours here in Lisbon, so.. Don't expect too much from thatThey only played for 2.15h here =( (no rare songs.. meh)
Sister of Grace Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Well.. They also said that they would play for 3 full hours here in Lisbon, so.. Don't expect too much from thatthis is what i mean. same set times for all shows but they don't play for 3 hours. more likely 2.5 hours.
Smoothed Out Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I'm even more excited now! Only 8 days to go till mine.Thanks for posting this (my dad thought they would come on around 9:00 so we didn't have to set off too early! Missed half the show by the time I get there )
norcalgreendayfan Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Well Green Day seems to love the UK. So they might bust out with 3 hour showa for the UK dates
iLozza! Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 If we get 3 hour shows, that'd be fucking terrific. If we don't well, it doesn't matter too much because we'll be seeing the band anyway, and that's all that matters.
Hanamay Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 I'm even more excited now! Only 8 days to go till mine.Thanks for posting this (my dad thought they would come on around 9:00 so we didn't have to set off too early! Missed half the show by the time I get there ) Aw I'm glad that I have helped you avoid that, it would be a tragedy for you Wooooo I'm excited. Billie Joe was quoted recently saying they want to beat whoever has the longest show time in the U.K. - unfortunately my memory prevails me and I can't remember the exact quote But anyway, Rocktoberries - let's have faith!
Katarina. Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I thought at every show Green Day was sheduled to play 3 hours, but at the most of them they played around 2,5 hours.At least that's how it went at the show I went to!
sassafrasroots_ Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Got my Email from the ticket sites we got ours from today and they seem to be saying the same thing, curfew is 11pm and they're playing till 10.50 but still, nearly 3 hours i nearly had a panic attack yesterday, my dad had me worried at first he copied the info out wrong and out them coming on at 9 and going off at 10.50 =\
minorityxdisturbed Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 The concert in Madrid was about 2 hours and 30 minutes more or less. And it was so short for me haha, they were fucking great.
novacaine_kid Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 2.30 seems realistic. 3 hours would be wonderful, but the guys are human, they don't wanna burn themselves out and i think thats fair enough
