1. It would suck. but like said before, good for people who'll sit behind the stage.
  2. Changed topic title and added a disclaimer if people don't want to know how it looks as this is now pretty much how it will look at show time.
  3. Yep its looking like a lowered screen playing a fancy intro with the screen eventually rising to unveil the band beneath
  4. very nice ...
    looks like a big soundbooth !
    that will be a good place soundwise !
    and now that they are placing the barriers ..., they will be at each side of each circle .. taking away more space for the fans .... I really wonder if they adjusted the nr of field tickets > it will be crowded ....

    and are they adding speakers in the front of the stadium ? It does look so ... at the two lighting poles and behind the sound desk ??

    I can see the bridges blocking the view !
    criss cross they will make it at certain points competely impossible top see either edge or adam ...
    I'll be in the center ....

    lol, that was my original plan, but I gave up a long long time ago , hopefully my setlist avoidance plans will last longer

    you're right, I wondered about the same things already. anyhow i have great faith in the stage designer. I'm sure they will deliver the "promise" that every seat will be great.


    I doubt it :p

    I'm sitting all the way in the back at Wembley XD


  7. was thinking the same. though if they do that, I hope the screen won't move up in super slow mo. would be boring to look at the boys' shoes for 10 minutes

    my thoughts aswell, it will be to light to have them walk onto a dark stage without being seen, so a kinda fancy intro was always on the cards, though if that screen is lowered from from the start, theres not alot of room for the support bands

    The stage DOES rotate.


    Both the green bridges and the central stage DO rotate (and the latest does it pretty quick, by the way).

    A guy from EastLink has been there this evening, and has gone down to the field, even to the stage.


    Check it here:

    ...even though it's all in spanish and I won't translate, that's what he says (the guy who I refer to it called juliobcn and has got an african kid as his signature). He has got videos and photos of the stage, and at least one of the vids show the stage while rotating. He's been with some of the staff, and they've told him that the band is going to be there everyday from 16:00. They are NOT in any known hotel, just "private accomodation" (what the hell that means? I don't know either). On an aditional note, they are assembling some cameras on the nosebleeds, on the seated zone. Are they recording the show (this is just a question of mine), are they crazy... or are they deploying just an incredible amount of technology to provide us the best show experience??


    The guys are in Barcelona, CONFIRMED.
    They are rehearsing, CONFIRMED.
    The stage rotates, CONFIRMED.
