Is anyone from the forum going to the show? I remember a couple of members posting that they got tickets but I don't remember who. Are you dying from anticipation? Will you actually be dead from anticipation by the time September rolls around? Do share!

Yes, we got another email yesterday confirming our tickets may be posted up too 14 days before the event. Looking forward to it, hope we can get close to the front. My partner has ordered her shewee just incase! Ha!

Very jealous of the people going, I can't make it as I'm in Spain with some friends that weekend, we arrive back Sunday afternoon.
I was already to buy tickets as I had a phone call the evening before the tickets went on sale from my wife's friend who was convinced Jeff was going to be announced as the headline act. She is a big Chris Evans fan and had put the hints together correctly. I then checked my diary and couldn't believe the Spanish trip clashed, I was devastated and still am.
I hope you all have a great time and don't forget to tell us of your experience.

I felt really angry when I saw the tickets were sold out...

Is there any confirmation as to who else is going to be on stage with Jeff? Any former ELO members whatsoever?

No one really knows, I'm pretty certain Richard will be keyboards. And my gut feeling is that it will be the same band as BBC children in need of Gary Barlows/Take That live musicians. I would love to see Bev on drums but I will be really surprised if he is. Bookmakers have 1000/1 on Rosie been on vocals!

I predict (and you heard it here first) that Roy Wood will join Jeff for an encore (California Man?)

Maybe it's time for Jeff to hold out an olive branch and invite Bev and Mik with Mel and Hugh if they are still available and assuming Richard will be there anyway, then it can really be billed as Jeff Lynne and ELO, and it can be done in memory of Kelly.

Bev is on tour with Jasper Carrott over the period the Hyde Park concert is on, I did notice he doesn't have any gig booked currently for 14th Sept.
