QuoteFrogSugar Regarding the heat, I doubt cancellation is in the air. More than likely the band will have some sort of on-stage air-conditioners, mist machines, etc. to keep things manageable during the show. And the concession stands will be thrilled at all the 10€ beers that they're gonna be able to sell. Beer is the very worst thing you can drink in that heat. Dehydrates people ev

QuoteStonesSmeth99 Hoping there's no compromise on the length of the set but acknowledge health comes first. Does look extremely hot. Think they came on at 10pm in Marseille 4 years ago (not due to the heat, just that kinda place) so maybe a late start is possible in Lyon. Health comes first for both the elderly artists and their audience. Hopefully the local authorities are watching the

Quotegotdablouse Yeah, grim prospect...especially since that area is known to be generally very HOT...Well at least they can have giant fans around the stage, for the crowd it's not an option. It will be my 1st ever visit to the area and I wasn’t aware of the hot climate. I hope they at least give out water to the crowd. 40c will be brutal. The ironic thing about fans is that they only ben

The weather forecast for this show is currently 38c/100F and you have to question the wisdom of men in their late 70s performing a high energy 2 hour show in those conditions. I can see a shortened show with a lot less moving around - as was the case in Budapest in 2007. I’m lucky dipping this one and have a spare for anyone interested.

At this point, many people were relaxing in comfortable chairs, drinking champagne in the VIP Summer Garden or whatever it'

QuoteStonedRambler Sure, but that isn't something that started yesterday. Promoters always have squeezed everything possible out of ticket prices.
