harderfaster Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi all, has anybody been along to any of the free gigs at Hyde Park? Any ideas on what time it gets full? Hoping to go on Friday but guaranteed ticket entry closes at 2pm and probably won't get there until 6pm. p.s. buzzing for Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 there's rumours flying round that Kate Bush will perform 'Running Up That Hill' live at the closing ceremony (in the stadium, not at Hyde Park). from snippets I'm hearing, this is looking more and more likely to be true.

zahidf Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 So we got a 2 hr break at 8:30 till 10:30 for the closing show then Blur. As I imagine if Bombay are on 4:30, New Order from 5:45 - 6:45 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud001 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just got an email and doors are open at Midday now (12 I assume), so its gonna be a long wait for The Bots to come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidames100 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 According to the Radio Times the Closing Ceremony starts at 9, finishing at 11.30. I'm hoping we get to watch the flame handed over then Blur play while the concert goes on at the OS, finishing at the same time as the fireworks kick off at the OS.

davidames100 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Forgot to add, can't imagine 60000 Blur fans will want to stand there watching the whole OS concert with some of the acts lined up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonTom Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 To all the complainers, it was never ever billed as just a blur gig We always knew we was going have a sizable chunk of the closing ceremony shown... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonTom Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 what i won't be happy with is if blur play a short set and they've charged me 60 quid to see something i can watch on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidames100 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Are you sure your'e not confusing the TV coverage times with the actual times? Same thing as they're showing it live - whatever BBC1 shows is what we'll be watching on the screens. 7.30 is 'Closing Ceremony Countdown', then the actual ceremony starts at 9pm, with an 11.30pm finish. Of course it may not last the full 2.5 hours, they may've added a bit to the coverage at the end but their timings for the Opening Ceremony were spot on, apart from the fact that it over-ran by 20 minutes...
