In the UK I reckon this is the largest, don't know the size of Wembley, I would have thought it was smaller

Okey dokey, well the New Order meet-up is at The Dry Bar (in Oldham Street) - apparently it's been refurbished recently since I last visited it, so see you all there!

Okay, in a fit of madness, I've changed my flight and hotel bookings, so I'm now travelling up to Manchester on the Friday afternoon so that I can make Graham's DJ date at URBIS as well! So, Pete, I won't be on the Saturday morning flight, but will be returning on the Sunday afternoon/evening!

Ah well, it's only money...

Welcome back Mr Segue

I know theres a meet up with New Order fans at dry bar, I presume 808 fans will also be gatecrashin this meet up, the more T shirts the merrier

As for me I don't even know how Im gettin there yet never mind what time

Its saying the doors open at 5.30 on the website. Its gonna be a squeeze to fit all those artists in before 11.30, could be an overrun like live8 especially now that bez and shaun ryder are appearing.

Rumour has it that there will be a DVD of the show. I'll be going for that

I'll probably drive into MCR and park near the arena.

Safe journey across Jon, and up for Nick and Pete, hope to bump into you at the gig, and others.

Any info on the Urbis gig ?

Can't see anything on the urbis page about it, is it a club event or just an informal cheese and wine evening
