Guns N' Roses @ Reading/Leeds Festival! UPDATE: Setlists n' pics in 1st post

[don_vercetti]

Some of the group I'm going to Reading with have dropped out, and I now have 3 Friday day tickets to Reading to sell if anyone is interested. face value. I dont have the actual tickets in hand yet, but have the booking confirmations and can always meet people there on the day to hand over (or post if preferred). PM me if you're interested.

Very sad that this is looking like the only european date, but at least they are coming here at all.  And with QOTSA as a support act!  Very cool.

The Reading Time set is released.. 1hr30mins seemsVERY short what can they fit in there ?

[Gavgnr]

^^Or will Guns play beyond 11?

Is there a strictly applied finishing time for reading/leeds? Anyone know?

Hour and a half does seem a bit short (worried cos I'm goin!)

Hour and a half for a Festival it's preatty good most band's play around 50min by my experience.

Is that official? I always thought at Reading 2 headliners got 90 minutes and the other got 2 hours, and I would have suspected that GNR would have the longest set as they are the oldest band. Perhaps timings have changed but I am almost certain both Radiohead and Metallica got 2 hours.

Where is that from?

I believe the headliners ended their sets around 23:30 last year...

Leeds City Council are strict. Reading are not too bad.

I am sure Guns will play 2 hours minimum set.

[babydolls]

Bands usually play approx 2 hours when headlining, really depends on who headliners are, past ones have been shorter if they have less material but still deemed popular enough to headline (eg Razorlight... no I dont know why they headlined either!), but Metallica, Maiden, Pearl Jam etc all played for around 2 hours in the past.  Fear not!  I cannot see Blink being given a longer set slot than Guns, or Arcade Fire for that matter.

readings festivals site is in the middle of the town, they will be strict, but i think the curfew is 11:30 not 11

Reading Council are actually ok (historically anyway). The Noise Act 1996 gives 11pm as a statutory cut off point for loud noise, but permission can be sort quite easily for extensions to this time.

would explain why most bands seemed to finish  around 11:30 then

Guns need to play more UK dates than this. It should be easier now given staff changes at CC.

The trouble with Leeds, is that they've got  history of trouble on the last day, hope that doesn't raise its ugly head this year...

Anyone know when the tix get posted out?

[One.In.A.Million]

Anyone know when the tix get posted out?

Well I have heard that the latest they should arrive is 2 weeks before the festival.

I feel they should have been posted out just like any other concert ticket. I understand about re-sellers, but I think this inconveniences the fans just as much.

Download posted the tickets in 2006, just like any other show, about a week after I ordered it. I'm not sure if that has changed as well but I don't see the harm in sending them out straight away.
