I was thinking the same - the same 20 songs for the main set but change up the 3 encore songs every night?

They'd be insane not to release all 35 on streaming or physical media formats.

Yep..these shows all sold out pretty quickly - it’s an absolute certainty that if they released some sort of live album documenting one night or the best of all 5 nights..it would fly off the shelves!! But if they released all 35 live tracks - that would be insane!! I can’t imagine we’d ever be lucky enough to be given all 35 tracks - but there’s absolutely no reason why they couldn’t release them all. It would be awesome if they did a digital live album for each night so that fans could download whatever night they attended!! It’s a guaranteed money maker!! Please Team PSB..if anyone is reading this..please release each night digitally! Begging!!
Its taken me all of my life to find you

"They have rehearsed 35 songs (most of them not played before in concert) and will play a slightly different setlist each night."
This is fantastic news! Sounds like they're really excited to play these songs. Or they've had as much trouble as we have at whittling down our favorites. :lol:

Maybe they swap out the songs that get the least reaction from the crowd each night - you better cheer loudly for your favorites!

Guessing it'll be the same core setlists, but with a section in the middle somewhere that has 2-3 different songs each night. Easier to sequence all the kit that way. Possibly even acoustic versions. 'Hit and Miss' would lend itself to an acoustic version.

Good point. CheekyPete's Instagram stories did feel as though there was some acoustic activity going on in there.

It looked to me like it was the Dreamworld band but who knows, you may be right.
Woof.

C'mon, you KNOW Neil just wants to bust out the guitar! Who knows, maybe they do London busker-style with Chris playing a little Casio on an upturned bucket again! :D

According to an interview in The Guardian today -

35 songs rehearsed
Setlist will be 24 songs each night
Setlist (and intro music) will change
Chris chose the songs from a Spotify playlist he created and Neil added a couple

Yes please please please :pray:
I promise I'll buy a copy. Record all 5 nights, assemble them into a compilation of all 35 songs or something near that extent and put it out on CD, vinyl and digital. Please it would be so welcome by the fans. Even the songs sound similar to their original iterations. May as well create and release this!
Digital live album for each night, as an exclusive official website throwaway could also be nice!

Good day everyone.

Is it possible to buy a couple of concert tickets before the show? Will anyone be able to return theirs at the club box office?

Thank you.
