Can confirm that, after finishing work at the Academy tonight for the Stranglers' gig, I went and spoke to some people in the queue - people at the front arrived at 7pm. If you're reading this - that's pretty nuts...

Did you just sit and wait in the queue or did you set up at the stage door and wait there all day? I don't want to miss out on the fun in the queue but also can't miss em!

HELLO For people who are wondering how to get to the gig (i'm at uni here so I definitely know the best ways) - By Train: After you arrive (at Manchester Piccadilly OR Victoria, either doesn't matter too much), make your way to Piccadilly gardens. From there, hop onto either 42,43,142,143 bus (magic bus or first bus - both only £1 as far as you want apart from Magic bus after 12am). It'll drop you just outside UoM students' union. Easy! By Bus: Your coach will either stop at Shudehill coach station or the other one near Canal Street. For Shudehill, make your way to Piccadilly gardens and, as outlined above, get a bus to the SU. For the Canal street station, make your way to Portland street and get a bus outlined above from there. By Plane: Catch the 43 bus (I think, could be 42) all the way straight to the venue - super super easy + cheap! Buses are every few seconds, i'm not joking - it's literally how everyone travels here. Before 1am you won't be waiting more than 1 minute and after until ~4am they're pretty much every 10 minutes Ofcourse because it gets so rammed though before/after you're best bet is by bike like moi! Keep an eye out for an all-white thing rolling around and come say hi Getting so ridiculously excited for this! I see many are joining in the queue tomorrow? :]

Please oh god please! Fury too - I wanna see people going nuts!!!

Hey guys, might be able to put some people up if they're travelling - i'm a student here and live not so far away... also for that reason expect an early morning of the day and a late finish after though
