Only on the central and Victoria lines.
Lines serving Wembley aren't striking

Not going to this now - first London gig I've missed since 2005

Absolutely. Just aware that a lot of us will need to use one of those two lines on our journey, but you're right that I should have clarified that.

Just didn't want anyone to panic also worth saying that it's just one union striking so they may still run some trains on those lines.

It may shift folk onto other lines when trying to navigate around London, making bits more crowded than usual. Having been on tightly packed tube today I'd quite like to avoid many more. Although I was glad to see mask wearing was pretty high.

Just about to get ready to head out!
I had thought this would be my first gig at Wembley since the Manics in 2004 but I just looked at my gig list and I saw Take That there in 2006 😆 who were of course fantastic!
Nevertheless, first time at Wembley in 15 years, and I had many amazing Manics gigs there in the late 90s and early 00s. Really excited for tonight!

Never been to this new version of the arena.we did see them playing the stadium 2 years ago. They didn't sell a million albums then split up straight after though...:-)

... saw everyone queuing up so took a detour to the lovely warm of Nandos.

I hate how boring I've become in middle age.

cold
