Fd news on Facebook just said they're playing tonight... no mention if it's with Nicky or not. I'd be surprised if they're doing it with a stand in as they've all wanted this from day 1!! Although I guess there are 2 other dates

Sean just tweeted a GNR/MSP related pic so I'd take that as a Yes for tonight.

I've had confirmation through unofficial channels they're playing with a stand in bassist tonight.

Seen one Manics t shirt in the stadium so far compared to about thirty thousand gnr ones...

In the pic posted by FD on Twitter, you can see the stand in guy's Fender Jazz Bass so that might be the case.

Welsh flags are out on the bass amps. I guess they've got the Stereophonics in to cover for them!

They've already been on? Well the Guns certainly know how to make sure that atmosphere keeps flowing.

GNR are going on in 20 minutes.

On top of everything else, Nicky will miss out on what a Springsteen-esque set really means.

Twenty minutes? The stadium is barely half full, and that's including the queues for the toilets!

Hurry up toilet queues! Axl you're allowed to be a little late this one time!

When I saw GN'R last summer I was surprised how early they took the stage. It was around 19.45 and played for three hours. Luckily my friend told me to get there early as I was assuming it would be the standard 9pm start

Phew! Wee done and the intro videos have only just started up. Which last four about fifteen minutes if my memory serves correctly.

I'm sure you all appreciate my toilet updates!

How did the crowd take it?

There are very few things Nicky would’ve missed that gig for.
