Bombay just tweeted. They're on at 4.30

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!

We had no problems when we went on the sat before last and friends went sat just gone with no probs- should think there will be a steady flow in and out on each day

The Specials are on stage at 7:15 on sunday according to Twitter. So just Blur and New Order to go

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.

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?

Weather forecast looking better and better for Sunday now. proper excited.

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

[davidames100]

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]

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.

[Spud001]

BT London Live website said that the closing ceremony starts at 19:30 and finishes at 22:30?

Does anyone know how long the sets have been on the BT Vision Stage?

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...

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

[davidames100]

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...
