Quite often though ponchos are given out if it’s wet, not sure if this will be the case tonight but the weather is hardly a shock and people have had time to be prepared. I have heard ponchos are being sold outside by the ‘tat’ vendors at the moment. Apparently it’s very quiet at the mo, hardly anyone about yet. TT at this time was pretty busy, not sure about Muse. Think the weather is dampening the Spice fans. My experience too is this has been one of the best organised, chilled, places to have a gig. Lots of positives which can only be a good thing. I think Ponchos look really stupid, but I succumbed a few years at a track meet and now - well sod it they keep you dry, warm, and if it's raining at a venue - i'm packing it it folds into it's own pocket (even has a nice little belt loop like the old pac a macs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 They’ve both been very loud tonight, Jess Glynn obvs more up to date but still some classic 90s pop from the Spice Girls. The crowd seem to be enjoying it too. Fair play for some great shows @Mkelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was flicking through one of the music channels on tv last night. They were talking about the 80’s and going to gigs. At concerts apparently everyone used to hold up lighters. Can you imagine a crowd now with thousands waving naked flames about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
