Jarmo on his home turf

I'm ready and waiting if there is anything to watch.

Why is GNR half-an-hour earlier

Sweden is very well known for multiple rules and regulations so that must be it.

Indoors? Looks a nice venue.

Not sure, but it's different in each country isn't it?

The Copenhagen concert started at 21:30 and in London it was 19:45.

Great. Gigs are SO much better in the dark.

Public transport links are usually a reason. So also are if the venue is in a residential area, local licensing laws etc. Basically loads of things, all far too tedious to get into here!

Good luck with The Darkness! Fucking hell do I hate that band.

Surely, but 20.45 seems to have been the most common.

That's true.

Local curfew was the reason of the early start in London. Public transport was available all night long.

Really? Impressive! It was always a pain in the arse getting anywhere after 11 when I lived there!

Still was a pain though. The whole stadium emptied out and everyone heading for the underground. 

Most people just needed the Central Line I guess, and that has a "Night Tube" -service on Friday and Saturday's.
