Who knows?, if they wanted to play b-sides In The Night could work as an opening track although this song was already played live. Songs like A Man Could Get Arrested or You Know Were You Get Wrong could take part of the song. All of them from the early days.
Anyway, I think they could go for songs were not taken to be part on an album but they deserve it and never have been played before. For example:
- A New Life
- I Get Excited
- Bet She is not your Girlfriend
- Too Many People
- The Truck Driver and his Mate
- Hit and Miss
- I didn't get where I am Today
- Between Two Islands
- Confidential
- Delusions of Grandeur
- The View from your Balcony
- Screaming
- Lies
- Positive Role Model
- A Certain 'Je ne sais quoi'
- Hell
- An Open Mind
- Thought You
- The Dark End of the Street
If I could add one more, my favourite is "Bounce" (the song fans were looking for ages) and a really good song.
Not a bad set list - I would be happy to see this all live. However, unless I misunderstood, a number of these tracks have been played live (unlike what you suggest). IGE was on electric tour, TTDAHM was on Somewhere, Positive role model certainly was at the Glastonbury 2000 (not sure is performed at any of the later Nightlife tours). Still, as said, would love a set list like this.
In this case, I think A Man Could get Arrested could have an option, I prefer you know Where you went wrong.
Don't forget One Thing leads to Another, perfect song for concert. Imagine everyone singing "Oh Yeah, One Thing leads to Another".

The end Dark of the Street suits perfectly just for the end of the show (with a cover which is quite usual in some tours for PSB) becase of the lyrics. The show is called Obscure (They're gonna find us
Lord, someday you and me at the end dark of the street). I think it has sense and you can consider their last song by now.
It has even a musical outro for dancing .

Those two has actually been performed live before.
And yes, please, Bounce!

I haven't booked flights for this yet - it's a lot of $ to drop for that part. I got hotel booked though which I am glad I did as availability seemed sparse close to the venue.
Hope I don't screw this up by missing out on flights somehow. That would be a real doozy.

Now that we’re in 2026, starting to look into hotels - anyone who can recommend a good hotel near the concert venue?

Same here. It’s the type of show I’ve long wished they would do. Whats annoying is i got at least twice a ticket ‘in the basket” and when i went to checkout I got thrown back to the start.

Indeed. One or two people actively boasting of attending all 5 nights, knowing that there are lifelong fans who couldn't get a ticket for one. They know who they are and quite frankly are beneath contempt...

It's an illness. I genuinely believe these people think they're part of PSB inner circle. It's equally sad as it is pathetic.

I'm staying a the Premier Inn London Camden, which is close by the venue. (5 minute walk, I think?)
