So they're on at 5.45 for an hour? That works out a £1 per minute. What a ripoff! Fuck The Specials, they are a miniscule act in stature compared to NO.
On a slightly more relaxed note, I'd consider going but not at that price.

They're really not though, are they? Surely a bigger pull over here than New Order.

My glorious leader is actually Stephen Morris.
I hear Blur will play until 12.30, which puts NO on probably 8.45-10.00 and no one seems to know for sure.
The Specials are a nostalgia act. At least NO have released, and perform, material post 2000.

not being cynical, but if by fact the concert will not finish until midnightish, is it not in the promoters best interest to convince everyone to get in early so that they can fleece the punters with over priced ale and such like all day long.

slow down. |

The Specials are a nostalgia act. At least NO have released, and perform, material post 2000. The source of NOs stage time I posted earlier, came direct from the band. They're on at 5.45. I dont know what time they finish or how reliable the source of The Specials time is.

New Order are on at 17:45, Blur are due to finish at 23:15, according to this anyway : BT London Live Don't know if the finishing at 00:30 is supposed to be the time everyone has to leave Hyde Park by, or if it means thats when the thing at the Olympic stadium is supposed to finish, I won't be hanging round if it means watching the Spice Girls on a screen.

Left after Love Will Tear Us Apart, I thought the whole thing was a shambles. Got there and and no one seemed to have any idea of what was going on, screens were saying there was a 30 minutes wait time to get in which is bad enough, but it turned out to be close to an hour before I got in in, missing the first ten minutes of the set - if I could have heard New Order playing when they got on stage while waiting I might have tolerated it, but no, they were playing sodding Squeeze and Elvis Costello over the speakers while I could see Bernard in the distance.
The queues at the bars were even worse, bad enough being charged £5 for a pint of Heineken without the every man for himself attitude and the five deep queues that ensued, after deciding I wasn't that bothered about a drink, it was next to impossible to get anywhere near a decent viewing point, having had an untold amount of wankers bumping into me while they pushed through without as much as an excuse me made me decide I didn't really give a shit about either The Specials or Blur and decided to leave the plebs at large to it and go for a drink in Mayfair. The actual set itself was good, nothing wrong with the sound or the performance, it was just everything else about the show that has made me decide not to see anything else at somewhere like Hyde Park again.

My feelings exactly on every point mate. Utter shambles. Worst gig i've ever been to as far as facilities are concerned. You mention Elvis Costello playing while you was in the queue, when we were queueing they did actually pump the NO set over at first doing Elegia then the start of Crystal but then stopped it and changed to Elvis Costello songs!! WTF? New Order were good from what i saw when we finally got in but went to get a beer after that but it was just horrendous. Gave up queueing as it would have taken hours to get a drink and went for a lie down while The Specials were on but after them i'd had enough and left. Never witnessed such a shambles in all my life. Never going to a gig in Hyde Park again Edited by user 12 August 2012 15:57:17(UTC)

As has been said already by Ken & Johnny - music great (I actually like Blur a fair bit, so wanted to stay for their set), however... Queues for toilets/beer/food were horrendous - after a couple of hours of that (i.e. after The Specials had finished), decided to leave the festival and go back to the Canterbury Arms for a pint or two. Now, all I have to do is to hope that Blur do some more gigs (non-festivals) at some point in the future (unlikely, and yeah, I know, they've just finished a small venues tour)...  Ah well...
