Is it on a channel other than CTV in Canada? I could swear some of you guys posting are canadian, yet you're talking about stuff that isn't on now.

lmao Peter Kay is on the stage :lol Americans probably haven't heard of him but trust me, he's VERY funny. Totally OT - he was born in Bolton, which is about 20 minutes away from where I am

I spat my drink out when he said "Hey! Are you sober?" :lol It's a shame he didn't have more time but I bet that wasn't planned...it was probably just improvised :lol

I saw a clip but it was of an old song. I don't know how many songs they did. It should be on the highlight show whenever that's on though

Muse didn't do any new songs. They did bliss, then some other very well known song that I forgot the name of and closed with plugin baby if my memory serves me well...

They're an hour and a half behind schedule so they're obviously trying to get things wrapped up as quickly as they can. They still have Pink Floyd and McCartney (with George Michael) to fit in before the night is out and they've got to finish up before the public transport winds down around half 12, so it wouldn't surprise me if they had to cut down the remaining sets.

Fuck that. Bono can fly everyone home in his heli.

This better be live on TV, I do not want to rely on a stream for this.


I like how they play other (performing) bands songs inbetween sets.

I don't think they'd do it around public transport. London would have late night bus services/shuttle bus services anyway for this. I bet 90% of the people either live nearby or are staying in local hotels, or will just drive home

I'd be more concerned about late night noise pollution. At the Leeds Festival 2002, the show MUST end at 12am, because of the local residents. When I went it was the year that the Guns and Roses 'tribute band' ( ;)) played and Axl was told to end his set because it was 12.15am

I think Bob Geldof would tell em to fuck off ;)

Apparently they told people to start going home an hour ago to avoid the inevitable crush that there's going to be when they eventually do finish. There'll be night buses, but the Tube will be closed by 1am, and you ain't going to get 200,000 people home by bus. :)

You might have a point about the late night noise pollution thing tho. We'll have to see.
