+1, that's why I'm still in my room Happy to know you're finally here !!

I'll only get my bed/room at 2pm, so, meanwhile, I'm going to the o2 in order to learn how to get there without getting lost.

My friend is going with his girlfriend and he doesn't even like the Manics.

He also got to go to the Blackwood show.

No justice.

Hahahahahah not really, I was bloody freezing! There's only one entrance. All the doors A/B/C/etc are inside the o2.

Bah, I kind of assumed the venue would always be open, and they only opened the arena part when needed. Boo!

Manic Street Preachers are still arguing over the running order of their setlist for Saturday's (December 17) one-off London O2 Arena gig, according to bassist Nicky Wire.

The Welsh band are set to play all 38 of their singles at the special Christmas gig, which kicks off at 7.30pm and will be split into two halves with an interval.

Speaking to NME, Wire urged fans to get down early to the show, commenting: "If you don't want to miss 'Love's Sweet Exile', 'Motorcycle Emptiness' or 'Revol', you better get there on time."

He said that the band had endured a "tense" week coming up with the final running order, explaining:

It's just been one of those weeks where you know you're going to be falling out with each other – but we've known each other 35 years so it's pointless having a row now. It's been really hard to put together because everyone's got their own opinions on how to play things.


Wire added: "We are 42, 43 now, so unfortunately it's not like we can just jump onstage and thrash through it like we would have done, 10 or 20 years ago."

It is! (well from 9am). There's an inside part with bars and restaurants and a cinema that's open most of the day and then they open the arena whenever they need to.

My ticket says entrace F. That the standing entrance anyone know?
Oh, is anyone recording this gig, audio or video?
What is it like getting to the o2 via car, are the roads in that area mental?
