Tend to agree - Approx 10:30 to 11:00 am is when they've just about cleared the backlog and it starts to calm down.
We usually get the 7:30am coach from Bristol, getting in the queue usually about 9:30, and find that people in our group who arrived more than hour after us end up only being about 15-20 minutes later through the gate.
Confidence Man at Brixton last night (the tckts bought while at the services en-route to Glastonbury this year!). Felt more produced and polished compared to the rawness of their earlier gigs but that's understandable I guess and they put on a great show. Ended up at the front as was in early for the support and the crowd was a good mix (said as an oldish git). They know how to get a party going and I really enjoyed it, a great buzz.
Fcuckers supporting were v.good. I knew they had done some stuff with LCD Soundsystem who I am a big fan of so was interested to see them. They put on a great set and got the crowd going which not always easy as a support, and were a perfect match. Will be looking out for them.
My first time back at Brixton since it reopened and getting in is a bit of a faff now, having to go a long way round the block in the queue system (which was frustrating but understandable given what happened). So was grateful to be there early. The support came on at least 20 mins later than the set times scribbled on a board inside the foyer and a steward said that was because of the crowd outside. So I'd recommend getting in early if going tonight. But great to be back there - it's a brilliant gig venue imo.
