Well then... it looks like they'll be playing Fugitive Motel! ..so very jealous!

Ticky, Craig tweeted they'd be playing 2 new songs, how does thee know that 'FM' is one of them ?

Guy tweeted it on the Ticketmaster tweet in. No idea what the other one is though. The new song is called 'Charge' apparently.

Looking forward to seeing the full set list! Going to Liverpool and Manchester.

Yeah I've really missed newborn. Excited for more guitar songs I was made up to see them playing leaders of the free world again at jodrell, cheers for the update!

Awesome always a great song for a bit of foot stomping and sounded great in an arena!

Got to say I am hoping for a reasonable change in set on these dates, any elbow is fantastic and I certainly won't be complaining but these next two dates will make my fourth and fifth dates on the BARB tour so I would like a couple changes from the Jodrell set list (which was a small change from the first arena tour set).

From Setlist FM, though slightly vague in places - 'Grace Under Pressure' and 'Fugitive Motel' played - good stuff !

vague indeed... hopefully someone on here will report back... the birds reprise? did they really play the track most people skipped on barb?

Sad not to see Neat little rows but no station? They have to do that in Manchester surely?

Wow I'm shocked I didn't notice that station approach was missing, gutted at that always been one of my favourites.

Same here, surely theyl do it in Manchester. They have to!

Yeah it's the homecoming song I reckon it would feel really odd if they didn't!

They seem pretty sentimental to me! Gutted they aren't doing the North East aswell, i go uni up here so it would have been nice to see them at the metro or something.

I think if they had it rehearsed ready for Manchester, no reason they'd NOT play it in nottingham. Open arms is kinda the last-before-the-encore homecoming type song in that set i suspect

i was thinking from the pov that they wouldnt perform a song, just for performing's sake... if that makes sense? i'll stand to be corrected though... :-D

Yea i get you, fingers crossed anyway!

Yeah I get what your saying and I do agree, also still going to love the gigs no matter what they play! Besides heard station live every other time and I guess they have to make room for all the other songs I complain about missing somehow (They'd need to add at least another hour maybe more on to their sets to completely satisfy me to be honest). Should be worth it to finally hear grace under pressure and fugitive motel, looking forward to hearing the new song too!

Yea same here! But i only saw them at leeds last year, my first festival as well. Only caught the last 3 songs because i was off my face! Not making that mistake this time. What i'm saying is i've only seen Tower crane driver, lippy kids and one day live. Amazing as it was i feel well unfulfilled

Well I am speechless again,last night was a total high!fugitive motel and grace under pressure and seeing Leaders of the free world live again made me go mental!new song was awesome.i was front potterside again,Mark has a new hairdo and is tastier than chips!And I get to do it all again on Sunday,sigh!anyone else going?
Utter Gods,thank you boys x

Would love it if they played S B & W again!

Tomorrow for me! Oh my word. I can't wait!!!

Fantastic show last night.

I avoided the touts even though some were calling out that they were selling tickets at less than face value and headed to the box office, and when I got there, a couple of guys offered me a spare because a friend couldn't come. They practically forced me to take it, saying they couldn't even give it away, and refused any offer of money with 'don't be silly, just enjoy the gig'. So a big thanks to them if they happen to see this.

After initially referring to 'us' as Wembley, we became 'Wembles' and later 'Wembers' as pet names.

Setlist:

(Intro)
High Ideals
The Bones of You
Grace Under Pressure [very strange having this 3rd song in]
Guy: "Now we're warmed up"
Mirrorball

The Night Will Always Win

Puncture Repair
Lippy Kids
The Birds
Open Arms
---------------
Starlings
One Day Like This

At the end Guy said they would remember this gig for a long time as one of their best...
