8:30 so that’ll be 19 songs again.
And the song they’ll skip was the highlight of the previous leg.
Weird.

The brits have always been touchy with curfews especially for open air shows.
Hyde Park 2013 shows ended at 10:30 PM
The Stones played 2 full hours and nobody complained
In Wembley in 1999 it was 10:30 also.
In 2003 it was 10:30 at Twickenham
They are free to take the stage 10 minutes earlier if they wish to play more...

They also do this for most shows at a The 02 Arena.
Perhaps it's someone's job at London Underground.

If London gigs finish at 2230, I have a reasonable chance of catching the last train home. If they finished later, I might not be able to afford to go to many as I would need to pay for accommodation.
As it is, I can't go to gigs in various places that are only 50 to 80 miles away because the last trains are too early.
There must be lots of people in a similar position.
Your speech is shareable, the problem in my opinion is the place where they build the stadiums, should never be in the city center or in the vicinity of housing, there is no need to be a genius to understand it. For this reason, when I see new stadiums or even the renovation of these stadiums it would be useful to consider alternative places. It is indecent that in 2018 a rock concert has a curfew at 10.30pm.Quote

About the London curfew at 10:30pm...
There was always a 10:30pm curfew when The Rolling Stones used to performe at Webmley Stadium. Twelve times in total since 1982. Every show used to start 8:25pm and finished 10:30pm sharp in time for the curfew. I think may be one time they did an extra minute or two, with the result a big fine. Also, I do believe the police pulled the (power) plug on some major act some years ago at Hyde Park, when they tyried to break the curfew.
Even if we do love rock music, others who live in a big city might have their own life. If there were no limits then there would be music and noise for them all night, and the more late hours people drink, the less sleep the locals will get. I don't mind heading home at 10:30, as long as they have been performing a great show for a couple of hours.
Also, keep in mind the fact that it isn't the actual show that is the problem, but all the stuff that hapens after the show is over at 10:30. First everyone of the 70,000 or so people will leave, with noise. Then the trucks will work and get the equipment out of the stadium. It will take hours, probably most of the night. Imagine you had a large stadium on your doorstep, then I am sure you would be happy about having a reasonable curfew.

Every category is sold out according to axs. Somebody ordered a lot of tickets in every category in the past 12 hours.
