I'm still not queuing and enjoy London before the stress later.
Me too. Off into Camden to explore some more right now.
Well about to travel up now and will hang out in Camden. Won’t be queuing until at least 6pm!! Will enjoy a few pubs with my wife beforehand.

Any particular Camden pubs/venues any of you guys going to first?

I won’t have a pink carnation but I will be in an orange fundamentalist t-shirt and orange hoodie….with pointy hair(not orange) :D feel free to say hi! Many names I recognise on here for years so would be lovely to put a face to names,

I'm a few minutes from the venue with a window on the street, so I can see you all walk by

I really don't mind what versions we get but please let it just be Neil and Chris performing. The whole Dreamworld thing is tired and nobody needs the band 'X-Factoring' these Obscure songs.
Absolutely this. I just want Neil and Chris with "those old machines", similar to the Whistle Test set up, with perhaps a guest appearance from Johnny Marr and Bernard Sumner for Patience of a Saint, for example...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I bought from SeeTickets and my Wednesday ticket was emailed to me yesterday!
Ah ok, cool. So hopefully tomorrow then. Like I said, I can see the order in my Seetickets account, but I'm flying out from Ireland on Wednesday so it'd be nice to have it by then, just to be on the safe side.

Pretty sure it’s the full band set up. Pete Gleadall posted a ‘rehearsals’ pic on Instagram and the photo showed that storage unit containing all the electronic drums and cymbals etc.

Sorry if it's been addressed already. Is their any word of these performances being filmed for a potential video release?

Well I am in a pub opposite the queue drinking beer rather than being in it, and they are playing What Have I Done to Deserve This. I would ask them to flip over to A New Life....

Queue goes along in front of the Camden High Street shops now, then round a couple of backstreet corners! Must be over five queuing hundred already, if not many more!
