I'd guess that the 8pm would be just an arbitrary time for "gig starting" that they put up. Has anyone been to the Forum recently? Presumably it has an 11pm curfew?

I'd guess, based on nothing but my own logic (so I'll no doubt be completely wrong), but it'll be something like this:

First band - 7:30 - 8
Second band - 8:15 - 8:45
Third band - 9 - 9:30
Maxïmo Park - 10-11.

But then again it might start at 7 or they might have a later curfew.

depend when the door open and let people in, saying if its open at 7. You time slot should be bang on

Oh also depend if you are lucky get aftershow pass, your curfew will be alot later than 11

was there for the rifles - they were on about 9.30 till 10.30. ur guesses look about right, ill just mail the forum in the morning and get the stage times.

TOMORROW TOMORROW TOMORROW!

Never mind that I've been dying of fever lately. IT WILL BE AMAZING.

*spazzes away*

Does the venue still have a cloakroom?

Let the Maximo-fan speak, she knows best:

7:00pm Doors Open
7:30pm-8:00pm Pete & The Pirates
8:15pm-8:45pm Blood Red Shoes
9:10pm-9:40pm Mystery Jets
10:00pm-11pm Maximo Park

Yes it does. On the right just after the foyer.

Mystery Jets, Maximo Park and BRS on the same stage?
LUCKY!!

wahey! that gives me 20 mins to grab my bag/coat and leave before i hear one note by maximo

everyone gonig to the bull and gate pub before the gig or the assembly house?

I think the Germans are loitering outside (insert joke involving towels here) and so we'll probably be there.

while BRS start playing I am in Barcelona by then

so have fun whoever is going to that tonight

Anyone know of an after party? Maximo were gonna be having one I think?

i have to say the support acts for that are ace, ive lost interest in maximo park recently unfortunately.

brs were ace last night, best ive seen them play in a while

James says 'They were nothing special.'
But then he hated This Is Not For You the first time he heard it so we all know his opinion on this board counts for nothing.
I mean 'Hi James who's sitting next to me'

I loved it though. Very fun day. I have some pics I might upload later if I remember

Crowd were abit dead last night for BRS.

I did try to leap about when they played Dosen't matter much (my fav song) but not even that worked.

I see some guy's tried to rock out towards the end.

Roll on October.

Oh, was it me or was Maximo's sound really bad?

It wasn't great. I just assumed that it was because I was right down the front though. The BVs were practically switched off.

Who cares about the sssssound. They're the toppest top of the pops. They so are. /objective

I have to say that I am SO jealous of those of you who went to this (but, just as Ian Wright once said, it's a good jealousy!!!).

I went to the extent of planning costs for a gig ticket and travel down to London. I even found a hotel that didn't charge ridiculous prices.

But alas, it wasn't to be. Other commitments forced me to withdraw my interest in the end.

It seems that those of you who went and have posted on here had a good time though.

I forgot to mention about going to this gig. I really enjoyed it, BRS were superb as ever. I thought they picked a really good setlist, accessible, if you will. I can't remember it precisely but it included IGBBTS, Try Harder, IWIWSB, YBMD, possibly Doesn't Matter Much, TINFY.
