Thank you, but in the end I found somewhere to sleep in Swansea.

A Design For Life question:
they are going to play the whole album in the first half, so ADFL will be the second song they will play; then they should close the gig with the same song, as it's a UK gig (in Europe they close with Tolerate). Do you think they're going to play it twice? ADFL is the perfect "last song", so they should play it as the last song, but...twice?
My thought is that in the first set they will play it acoustic, then they will play it again at the end but in full band version.

I highly doubt it. They've played ADFL earlier in the set at UK gigs before (they opened with it at Brighton on the Futurology tour) and have closed with other songs, so I imagine they'll do the same for this gig. I hope they don't close with Tolerate instead though; YLU or Motown Junk have been excellent alternatives before. Tolerate would feel like a bit of an anti-climax for me.

Well at least it'd be easier to exit the stadium afterwards due to most legging it early

Not a chance. If they are playing the album in full, they are gonna replicate it in the same way they did with THB. I can't see them doing different versions of the songs on a playthrough. Yes it is the traditional closer, but they have done plenty of other closers.

There is a chance that they won't play the album in order, but if the show is advertised as the album "in full" then the chance of that is slim.

Ok ok ok sorry sorry sorry I heard that in the UK they always close with ADFL and in continental Europe with Tolerate, and in the two gigs I've been to they closed with such songs. But if ADFL is not mandatory as a closer, yes, they'll close with anything else.
Anyway, ADFL as second song of the gig is pretty awkward, but still.

At least 50% of the crowd can then hit the bar. And they'll miss Enola Alone!

It'd be perfect. I love albums ending with an instrumental section, as in SYMM. It would be really emotional (in a stadium, though).

You Love Us was the closer on the EMG tour.

Nynex 97 may have been the last time they played the outro too so they are obliged to reintroduce it at any EMG20 show.

If I recall correctly, they played it as an intro also in the Millennium gig.

Every hotel in Swansea is already fully booked! Will be staying in Cardiff and getting bus to gig. This suggests they've sold a lot of tickets already? Or is Swansea tiny?
