[Jens Wildman]

if he's still playing at 00.29am on Sunday morning they'll pull the plug on him.

Blimey, we must be getting extra long versions of Born in the USA and Philadelphia.

[Jens Wildman]

i'd like the honour of pulling that plug!

Jesus, 2 1/2 hours? Isn't there something in the Geneva Convention or UN Human Rights legislation about cruel and unusual punishment?

how long does the saturday headliner usually get then? and how long did macca get?

I know bruce is a big act but this special treatment is getting a bit much!

[Katster]

I don't particularly want to see him (I have no real urge) but I most probably will do just because I'll never see him again and I think the atmosphere there is going to be huge. If I'm not enjoying him I can always find somewhere else to be.

It`s really not special treatment. Coldplay usualy playes 90 min, so they play 90 min at festivals. Bruce Usualy plays somewhere around 2.30h - 3.15h. So, he gets at least 2.30.

Bruce has just a longer show. If you where to cut him down to 90 min, it would f**k up his flow, and I`m sure he would not play. It would be like cutting a really good film from 3h to 90 min, It would just ruin the film.

I am genuinely surprised. Multiple times I have said that he won't get any longer than 2 hours, but I'll just to hold my hand up and say I was wrong.

This means that the '4th headliner' will be starting at around 7.30 - 8.00 which seems really early but I guess that doesn't really matter.
