[unique sleet]

is this set a 2 hour one or a one hour one do we know?

[fickle surge]

it's about 2 hours long!!

[unique sleet]

epic i was worried because i saw 2 youtube videos from it where one was 1 hour and the other was 2

more songs yay

[fickle surge]

without spoiling the set list too much ||it's basically an eras tour||

[unique sleet]

nice idk much about ||taylor swift|| but cool i think ik what you mean

[brave inlet]

so hyped for next year

[unique sleet]

ME TOO

[gaunt echo]

im british but yah me too

[brave inlet]

noooo

the betrayal

[dense kayak]

you gotta study up

||bitch he's taylor swift||

[unique sleet]

||that one has gotta be my favourite taylor swift song||

[silver viper]

it's about 17 hours long c:

[gaunt echo]

it's about 2 hours of a normal set and then 100% In The Bitch on repeat until porter passes out from exhaustion

[silver viper]

...porter has infinite energy?

[gaunt echo]

this is not true porter actually has very little energy

look he even got tired while recording this song

poor fella

[silver viper]

its so touching to see an artist recording out in nature

sad he fell down tho

[gaunt echo]

the cameraman told him there was a nickel in the grass and he dived right in without hesitation

[unique sleet]

Yoooooo

[dense kayak]

"yo porter jump in the grass for 5 pence"

[tacit plank]

[rotund wadi]

Hey all, new to this server and got some tickets for this show recently so nice to meet ya

[prime tundra]

Nice welcome! I've just booked my hotel

[humble lotus]

Yesss me & some friends have too; Airbnb 20 mins away. 👌

[tacit plank]

i miss being prepared , i had my stuff booked before he changed the venue now im scambling to pick a place 😭

[tacit plank]

where are u staying? im looking at airbnb too with 2 bedrooms, but most are too pricey for what we want

[humble lotus]

Ah that'd be why we've got such different places. Ours is for ~8 people.

[prime tundra]

Damn 8! I struggle to plan around 3 people

[humble lotus]

If that's surprising, then what happened 2 years ago would blow your socks off. 😄

[tacit plank]

oh snap 😂 yeah

i love planning stays n stuff, i usually book for 4 people but this time only 2 so yeah bit more difficult because the price

[unique sleet]

i hope he plays spitfire

[rotund wadi]

[unique sleet]

yo thats crazy ive got my physics exams in the academy 1 cant wait for those

[tiny pier]

During the concert? 😎

Happy new year

I know I am

[tiny pier]

Based

[gaunt echo]

it'll be looping in the background on silent whenever I'm not actively listening to music

i intend to have like 1/3 of the year's minutes listening to technical foul

[round zephyr]

Happy new year 🎉🎉

[rotund wadi]

Happy new year all, we see Porter this year

[dense kayak]

i have to take a train from london to birmingham, then a car ride from birmingham to manchester

the things I do to see porter and april....

[rotund wadi]

I’m coming up from near southampton could have gone to london for the easy option but I’ve never been to manchester so thought I’d do that instead

[prime tundra]

Same here been London many times never been Manchester

[lethal light]

it's gonna be hype

[tacit plank]

wouldnt it be easier to get the train from london to manchester?

or coach even

i live near bham so im either getting train or coach to manchester airport

[dense kayak]

Hotel swap, plus bf lives in bham so we’re gonna carpool

[tacit plank]

ah gotcha

[lethal light]

what day you going as I'm leaving for manchester on the thursday ( I'm also from brum )

[tacit plank]

ahh damn im leaving on the tuesday😭 im staying from the 4th to the 11th cause im seeing a friend from canada (but hello! lol)

[dreamy dawn]

hi I will be going ! driving up after work ;_;

[tacit plank]

omg could finally make a permanent decision on where im staying finally😭

[round zephyr]

niceee, i booked my hotel ages ago but that's only coz a concert I had in 2024 got cancelled so I changed the booking for porter 😭

[gaunt echo]

i think im gonna be getting picked up by my beloved madré after the show

poor little university student don't got the cash for all this hotel chicanery

[round zephyr]

same tbf I still got a hotel to book for next month for another gig im fucking broke 😭😭

[gaunt echo]

dude i WISH i could afford to go to more gigs

do you got any idea how bad i wanted to see TØP this year

[round zephyr]

oh same that's why im too far gone in credit card debt 🙂‍↕️ and that's exactly how I'm seeing tøp in May lol

[gaunt echo]

the choice between tøp and porter was a rough one lol

underscores opening was the dealbreaker

[round zephyr]

Reallll

[tacit plank]

oh damn😂

[tacit plank]

honestly i dont either , ive been saving like crazy for this b&b for the week and i am now broke again😮‍💨

[humble lotus]

SHITSHITSHIT I NEED TO LISTEN TO UNDERSCORES

[tiny pier]

Underscores + porter is my dream come true

[rotund wadi]

Never listened to underscores so maybe it’s time

[gaunt echo]

2023 my most listened to artist was underscores 2024 it was porter

[gaunt echo]

Wallsocket deluxe edition IMMEDIATELY

[round zephyr]

kinda wished we had ericdoa tbf but underscores is still an insane opener

[tiny pier]

Based

[wise blade]

frfrfr

underscores is amazing

couldnt have a better opener tbh

[prime tundra]

Underscores AND porter being my top listens I was frothing at the mouth when the tour was announced

[tacit plank]

same, altho when i saw the announcement i did check out their recent album

[rotund wadi]

I actually listened to fishmonger and wallsocket today while I was working and they were pretty fun

[wise blade]

this

[late mortar]

Here’s the move: we all sing meow meow meow in unison while we wait for the Nurture set to begin

[brave inlet]

yes

[tiny pier]

I'm in

[late mortar]

Based

I might hold my phone up and play the classic AI cat video to get people in on a glorious practical shitpost

[gaunt echo]

Do you mean like

Like to the tune of the Catz DS theme

[late mortar]

https://youtu.be/AtPrjYp75uA?si=uJsDey94kjQ8n3RS

The crowd sang this when Paws started deflating during Musician in Sydney and he’s done it a couple times during the Asia tour

it’s become its own little bit during the set and I’m so here for it

[wraith path]

Starting to be in disbelief that the show’s in 3 weeks from tomorrow ^^

[snow sphinx]

damn didnt realise it was so close

[round zephyr]

Still been thinking it's months away still goddamn 🤧

[tacit plank]

yeah ive been counting down the days , times going sooooo fast

[late mortar]

I just know this post gig depression is gonna hit me 100% in the bitch

SO excited

Anyone doing anything after gig? Might go for a couple drinks after

[round zephyr]

realll

[round zephyr]

Probably same tbf idk yet lmao

[snow sphinx]

I got Dayglow around 3 weeks after then it’ll probably kick in.

[fickle surge]

a couple of us were thinking of going to NQ64 when the concert was still at the albert hall, we still might tbh!
another suggestion was Satans Hollow which sounds fun too

[late mortar]

Satans is a wild night out. Not been for a few years, but it used to be hilarious

NQ64 would be a shout too. Never been

[fickle surge]

Im down for hanging afterwards
I always have too much energy from post-gig giddiness 😆

[late mortar]

asess the vibe after the gig. got a feeling my voice is gonna be ruined by the end 😭

[round zephyr]

oh mine will be for sureee 😭

[late mortar]

you can catch me sobbing during the entire Nurture set 😎

[round zephyr]

me and u both mate 🫡

[late mortar]

God imagine crying to wind tempos and then going nuts to musician

That’s some type beat type shit right there

[molten osprey]

Can't believe there's only like 2 and a half weeks left now I'm so damn excited

btw, are there any Mancunians in here who know what the best taxi service is to use to get to and from the venue for when it's late? Booked my hotel before the venue change so I need to travel a good 2 miles to get there.

[snow sphinx]

Where are you roughly? Buses are pretty good to get there. Way back Oxford road (street academy is on) is only buses and taxis so may be able to hail one. Ubers probably the best tbh.

[molten osprey]

Up by the original venue, the Albert Hall, so the journey is pretty much one straight line down Oxford Road

[snow sphinx]

Defo get the bus then

It’s ultra convenient and there’s services 24 hours down it

[molten osprey]

Oh brilliant

I'll look up the info

Cheers mate

[snow sphinx]

Np, think it’s £2 for like 1 hour hop ticket and £5 for a day pass. They changed recently so not entirely sure.

Can always walk it too. St Peter’s square to academy is like 20-30 min walk.

Think it’s the V1, 42, 142, 143 plus a few others that do the route.

Been a couple of years since I did it though so don’t quote me on that haha

[molten osprey]

Yeah I'm looking at my options now. All seem alright but I'll double check a day or two before the date

though honestly I'm lazy enough that I might just call a taxi/uber anyways if I dont wanna wait for the buses lol

[snow sphinx]

Fairs, if that’s the case just get an uber as it’ll probs be quickest and more reasonably priced, especially after concert as you’ll be going into the city.

[molten osprey]

Yeah probably so. Just needed to ask cause im from the intensely rural west of cumbria. not really any need for uber unless you're going into a city

[snow sphinx]

Fairs, im from Manchester originally but now work in Whitehaven so not too far from you!

[molten osprey]

Ahh nice! I'm only about an hour south from you then, in Millom.

[snow sphinx]

Ah yeah I know there. Nice

[molten osprey]

Anyhow, cheers for the info mate, great help.

[snow sphinx]

No worries, just ping me if you need anything else!

[sharp shell]

Well fuck me, this is soon. Still had it months away in my head lol.

It's at the main Manchester Academy since the change right? Venue 1?

[dense lantern]

yup, that's the one

[sharp shell]

And anyone know the best way to and from the venue from the central arena Travelodge? Bus or should I just Uber? I booked the hotel before the venue change, was just gonna walk at first, but now a 45min walk after the concert would probably suck lol.

First concert, so I'm a bit out of my depth lol.

[sharp shell]

Cheers mate.

[snow sphinx]

Yeah best bet from there is an Uber. I think there are a few buses from around Victoria station area.

[sharp shell]

Cheers. Will probably just Uber it then.

[brave inlet]

😼

[untold slate]

hi guys im going manchester with my gf, i made the porter pokemon cards if anyones seen them, going to be giving out a bunch at the show !

[round zephyr]

i haven't seen them but that seems cool as fuck :o

[sharp shell]

^

Actually, I might have seen them, if you've posted them on the porter subreddit.

Addicted2Gravity?

[wraith path]

That’s pretty fire

[round zephyr]

just searched em up on the reddit actually they're so cool wtf

[rotund wadi]

Yeah just had a peek myself those are beautiful

[sharp shell]

Oh damn, if that's them, I have seen them, fucking love the nurture ones they're super cool. Iirc I went through their post history, their work is awesome.

[round zephyr]

Frrr

[untold slate]

thnx guy

[wraith path]

Wait are you the one with the etsy? If so, that Shelter card is amazing

[untold slate]

ye thats me, thanks lol - ill b giving that one out too. i made a new version with hollowheart

[wraith path]

Omg that’s awesome! If it’s the one I’m eyeing on your etsy page, I’d pay you in person lol

[untold slate]

oh no i wouldnt except lol ill try bring as many as i can

pretty much ran out of smile tho so itll be the others

[heavy finch]

yooo ur cards r sick bro luv ur 2hollis one

[humble lotus]

Just had a widdle research - reminds me of this awesome dogtag gift someone gave me.

When are ya starting to queue?

[steep comet]

does anybody know when the email usually gets sent? im getting that sort of anxiety where i feel like somethings not right

[sharp shell]

I've no clue, but I'd get in touch now. 72 hours before the event is way too late to be dealing with that kind of stress. + I wouldn't trust customer service to get back to you that quickly on a good day.

[steep comet]

good call

if nothing by monday ill have to ring somebody

[sharp shell]

Good luck!

[wise blade]

if its any consilidation i don't have my email either yet so i wouldn't worry too much but no harm done in emailing ^^

[fast shard]

How many do you bring to shows? Asking cuz im thinking of bringing stickers

[rotund wadi]

Also not had any VIP info emails myself yet

[heavy finch]

VIPs plz save some underscores tees for the rest of us ill cry

[fickle surge]

IM GUNNING FOR THAT SHIRT

[round zephyr]

sameee 😭

[heavy finch]

nahh buv ur evil asf

[tacit plank]

i dont think im gonna buy anything , i dont think my friend is either (both vips) so thats something

altho im not sure we have seen underscores stuff so 🤔

[wise blade]

afaik its only the fishmonger x smile tee for underscores

[tacit plank]

ahh okay okay

[dense lantern]

i'm gonna try to get the underscores tee but i imagine it'll sell out before i'm anywhere near the merch stall lmao

definitely getting the tour hoodie though

[late mortar]

tour hoodie is so fire

[spare river]

I just KNOW the unofficial merch will be 🔥

Middle aged White guys outside of the venue save meeeeeeee

[fickle surge]

am I patriotic?

[void dome]

absolutely

[fickle surge]

hell yeah 🦁🦄

[sharp shell]

Cat.

[void dome]

does the cat have a ticket ???

[round zephyr]

car!!

[fickle surge]

no, he's not old enough 😟

[void dome]

NOOOOO

he'll be there in spirit .. we can dedicate a song to him

[fickle surge]

The Thrill!! since his name is Nero 😎

[void dome]

YEAHHHH

[fickle surge]

ha porter been signing stuff after shows? saw his ig story asking Copenhagen people not to stick around after the show bc he's sick

[wise blade]

LOL

the flag

[wise blade]

i've gathered generally yeah he is if you go to the tour bus after leaving the venue he hangs around a lil

i imagine the bus will be in the small inlet road behind the academy

[dense lantern]

yeah it's pretty much just the copenhagen show that he skipped out on meeting people after

[fickle surge]

ok thanks! I'd like him to sign my LATS vinyl if possible uwu

[heavy finch]

they're actually so intimidating to me 😭

[dense lantern]

debating on whether to bring my Nurture CD or my SMILE! CD

for signing

[sharp shell]

This is way too close now lol. The big event with lots of people anxiety ™ is setting in.

First concert, going on my own. \o/

[heavy finch]

i have this at every big event except from music concerts

[sharp shell]

Ahaha. I always get it when I do something new for the first time. My comfort zone doesn't like being challenged.

[heavy finch]

real asf 😭

hope you enjoy it though bro porter is a crazy choice for a first concert

[wise blade]

^

[sharp shell]

Oh, I'm sure I will.

[wise blade]

you'll be unable to enjoy other concerts because of how good porter is :^)

[sharp shell]

Porter wouldn't have been my first pick, but Daft Punk is long gone so.

He gets second place. (affectionate)

[round zephyr]

Too real 😭

[sharp shell]

He's in my top 3 artists for sure, worlds and nurture got me through a lot of shit.

[rotund wadi]

As someone who did their first concert a couple weeks ago it’s so worth it once you get past that initial anxiety

[round zephyr]

think this is my third concert im going on my own? idk ive lost track by now 😭

it's so fuckin worth it tho fr

[sharp shell]

I'm trying to work on the whole social anxiety thing, so either way, it'll be good for me.

[heavy finch]

2 of my favourite artists on the same date

[wise blade]

hey i got the same issues and trust me you'll get one song in and as long as you're just w/ the music (you will be) you'll be fine!

[sharp shell]

Cheers. I'll trust you guys on that.

[round zephyr]

im also the same w social anxiety, you really just forget everything when the music starts. you'll have the best time, trust!

[wise blade]

^ literally you kind of just forget ur in a room with an insane amoujnt of ppl

[fickle surge]

its the waiting for sets to start that kills me 😫

[heavy finch]

everyone in there is into the same stuff as you so you wont be judged

[round zephyr]

this ^^

[heavy finch]

last time i went to manchester academy there was no opener so we were waiting like 3 hours 😭

[fickle surge]

seems like the set times for porter + underscores with be

[wise blade]

i know april is only playing like 30 mins but man an hour long set from her would be peak

[sharp shell]

Oh, speaking of waiting. How much earlier than opening should I aim to be to queue?

[heavy finch]

i hope she does a solo tour again this year

[wise blade]

depends, vip or no, do you mind being mid/back or do you want front

[fickle surge]

need to catch a underscores headliner show at some point

[heavy finch]

i saw her like december 2023 at deaf institue she has crazy stage presence

[sharp shell]

No VIP, would be nice to get front but not too fussed tbh.

[wise blade]

i mean its a sold out show so to get anywhere near front u would prob need to be there 2/3 hours before

and even then vips get in before u

[sharp shell]

Gotcha.

[round zephyr]

not a vip, and I'm not bothered about getting too far to the front, I'll be rocking up an hour before doors I think 🫡

[wise blade]

yeah the times are before doors not before show starts***

[heavy finch]

im pretty sure an hour and a half gets you very close to the front based on the last time i went so 2 hours you should be really close

[sharp shell]

I'll probably go for ~hour before doors too, have to check in to my hotel which is a bit far off. Booked it before the venue change lol.

[round zephyr]

yeah my hotels pretty far away as well tbf, had it booked for a show that was happening at the ao arena and booked the travelodge close to there before it got cancelled so changed the booking to the porter gig

[sharp shell]

Was it the manchester central arena Travelodge?

[round zephyr]

yup!

[sharp shell]

Haha, same.

[round zephyr]

no way lmaoo

[wise blade]

[heavy finch]

[wise blade]

[heavy finch]

Kelly Lee Owens is doing a show Thursday night too

[trim nest]

lucky 😭😭 rlly wanted to see her but couldn’t justify the travel

[fickle surge]

I'm really hoping I don't get any travel delays bc it'll be the 1pm show if I make it in time 🫠

all the shows sold out so quickly!!

[tacit plank]

wait hes gonna be in manchester too??

i get there on the 4th aswell

[untold slate]

[brave inlet]

Yes

[fickle surge]

[brave inlet]

[fickle surge]

[unique sleet]

Theres a free show on at ramonas on thursday night

[fickle surge]

https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Tz73u31G8f4nUjtPOketU?si=2z-mbdOoRmOms9QcF111Og

this guy?

[unique sleet]

Yess

I havent heard his stuff but i just saw an ad on instagram for it im going with a few friends

Ive been before a few weeks ago and they had dj marky playing

[rotund wadi]

Think I might have said at some point before but I’m there Thursday

[humble lotus]

A bunch of us are going to NQ64 after the show if you wanna come with?

[unique sleet]

is that the bar in town?

ill keep it in mind it will be fun to chat to people about the show after

oh wait im dumb did you mean after porter

[sharp shell]

There's one after Porter for sure.

Idk about Thursday.

[humble lotus]

Not sure if we're hanging around for Porter after the show, but after that we're going to NQ64.
Address: NQ64 23 Peter St, Manchester M2 5QR

[unique sleet]

ahh epic

i reckon ill stick around for a bit after the show if you guys are

nq64 looks fun i will hopefully come

[molten osprey]

Hey so did anyone get their VIP package email yet? I emailed support jic today but I'm not a fan of how close they're cutting it tbh.

[wise blade]

i dont have mine yet

[molten osprey]

Also this is like my third concert ever and first time going VIP. What differences should I expect? Will there be a separate queue for the doors? How will I get my VIP stuff? I know a lot of that prob depends on venue but I'm just curious if anyone has any insight.

[dreamy dawn]

srsly cant wait :D

[molten osprey]

Got a response. Guess we need to just keep waiting.

[rotund wadi]

Just had my VIP email come in so expect it soon

[molten osprey]

Just got mine too

[fickle surge]

I've had an email with VIP instructions too

[heavy finch]

Too many vips bwo I'm never getting that underscores shirt

[wise blade]

had mine as well!

[fickle surge]

Im assuming vips are being let in at 6.30 based off the email

[fickle surge]

honestly I wonder how many there are bc it's starting to see like getting early access to get a good spot might not have been worth it 🥲

[heavy finch]

I mean every show gets allocated the same amount so

[grave nexus]

when is everyone on general admission showing up to queue

I just wanna make sure I'm not right at the back

[sharp shell]

I'm queuing the night before. Have a tent and everything.

./s

Probably an hour or so prior to doors tbh.

[round zephyr]

^

[sharp shell]

My ADHD won't allow me to wait any longer than that lol.

[grave nexus]

Ok slay

Bringing a friend who hasn't really listened to porter

[unique sleet]

Same

Im trying to get him on nurture

[grave nexus]

can we collectively absorb them into the porter hivemind during the show

[sharp shell]

Hell yes. Bring them into the cult fandom.

[grave nexus]

works for me

[sharp shell]

We demand fresh blood.

[round zephyr]

lowkey tryna convince my friend to come along aswell😭 one of us one of us

[grave nexus]

My friends from home are all anime people so this new album has been helpful in converting them

I do hope he plays plenty of nurture stuff tho

[wise blade]

:^)

[unique sleet]

Nurture is my favourite album i think

[wraith path]

Same ❤️

[unique sleet]

my favourite porter song is definitely unfold or language

[gaunt echo]

mine is look at the sky ||and im pretty sure he's only doing a shortened version of it on this tour which makes me sad||

[unique sleet]

||that is sad|| i am also hoping for spitfire

[teal grove]

Spitfire would slap

[outer geode]

anyone know if you’re allowed to leave the venue once entering and re-enter later on? I got vip to hopefully grab some merch and a locker but my friends just got a normal ticket so I was wondering if I could go back out after entering early to regroup with them

[fast shard]

New to resale tickets, just to be sure I can still get in even if the ticket was under a different name right ?

[void dome]

for vip no, but for normal tickets i don’t think that’d be a problem:)

i’ve never had the ticket checkers look at the name on my tickets

[fast shard]

I see, thancc!

[fickle surge]

They don't 😦

[outer geode]

oof guess I’m just gonna have to entertain myself for a little while then lol thanks for the info!

[little bough]

Anybody else going solo and wanna meet for a cheeky drink before the show?

Or is there like a meet up planned

[sharp shell]

I won't be there, but I know a bunch of people are meeting up at a maccies nearby before the show for lunch.

At around 12 iirc.

[little bough]

I finish work at 2 and coming up from Liverpool 😭

[sharp shell]

Ah, yeah, it's way too early for me as well, I get to Manchester ~4:30, and only have time to check in to my hotel and get ready lol.

There's a post concert meetup planned at NQ64 though, if you're interested in that.

[little bough]

Oh sick, if I’m not too wiped out from work and the show I might join thankfully I thought ahead and booked a Travelodge

[sharp shell]

Oh, which one if you don't mind me asking?

[little bough]

The one that’s close to the venue upper brook street I think

[sharp shell]

Ah gotcha, I'm at the one closest to the victoria station.

Booked it before the venue change lol.

[little bough]

Well at least we get a better venue 🙂

[sharp shell]

That is true. I did think the Albert hall was a bit of an odd choice tbh.

[wise blade]

aesthetically very very cool

practical? not really.

[sharp shell]

Yeah.

[little bough]

lol exactly

Better than the ritz where he played on the nurture tour

Felt like a sardine in there

[wise blade]

i was on balcony so wasnt too bad

[little bough]

Was still a vibe I remember the sound being very good in there

[tacit plank]

any manchester peeps got the vip email yet?

[wise blade]

yeah i have mine

it should be from [email protected]

[hot cobalt]

Are tickets easy to transfer? I forgot I had a ended up with a spare

Is it as simple as just sending a picture of the ticket?

[tiny pier]

yeah I'm p sure u can just send a screenshot of the qr code

not 100% sure tho

[gaunt echo]

wait do i need to print the ticket

or can i just show it on my phone

[tiny pier]

phone is fine

[gaunt echo]

ok ok

[hot cobalt]

I'm glad they moved to academy. I went London for nurture and electric ballroom despite small was not too cramped and atmosphere was amazing

[dense lantern]

academy 1 seems like an awesome venue

[hot cobalt]

I've only been to academy 2. That was nice though assuming 1 is similar size or bigger

Oh yeah quick Google its double nearly triple academy 2

[sharp shell]

~2600 capacity.

[tacit plank]

ah okay ty I'll go look again

hmm i cant seem to find it 😭

[lethal light]

try checking your spam

[tacit plank]

i did i searched for it too under multiple keywords but nothin😭

i might have to email them

[lethal light]

oop

[dense lantern]

email them ASAP

[late mortar]

Great venue. Gonna be a blast

[tacit plank]

yeah i was about to, idk if i got the right place but i logged into my gigandtours account and am contacting them under general enquiry

okay sent

[dreamy dawn]

chat one day left, hows everyone feeling?

[wraith path]

[fickle surge]

sorry to this man

[tacit plank]

excited !!

[tacit plank]

no way protein fan cards

[sharp shell]

Hyped excited nervous let's goooo.

[thick pivot]

nervy but excited!

[versed zenith]

feeling like I should've got vip now so excited for tomorrow

is anyone going in early? I neeeeed that underscores shirt but its probably gonna be sold out

[molten osprey]

crazy excited

btw, how should we be buying the merch? currently got all my cash in the bank and wondering if getting some physical cash is ideal or not.

[tacit plank]

yeah i wondered about that too

im probs not gonna buy anything but i will maybe get cash out for other stuff

[sharp shell]

Don't quote me, but I think merch stands are usually card/contactless now? For speed.

I saw some people here worried about the opposite lol, that they might not take cash.

[molten osprey]

Yeah I was thinking card would likely be the main method, but I just thought to ask lol

[sharp shell]

Probably best to have both bases covered if you really want the merch TBF.

Can't hurt.

[outer geode]

ok sorry if I’m just being dumb lol but if anyone knows, for the vip ticket do I have to go register and collect the vip stuff from one place and then go join a different queue to actually enter the venue?

[rotund wadi]

From the email that got sent it sounded like the separate vip entrance is also where we get the vip doodads from, so same place I guess, no other queues etc

[dreamy dawn]

if i run in to anyone of you, ill wave :)

[thick pivot]

I’m not vip but will be rooting for you all to get good spots!

[fast shard]

Listening to Smile from front to back now, damn dont remember Mona Lisa slapping this hard 🔥

[heavy finch]

Card machine broke last time I was at Manchester academy so I'm bringing cash

They always take cash but they have card machines on hand too

[molten osprey]

thanks, ill be sure to bring some as a just in case then

[outer geode]

hmmm ok, it’ll probably make more sense once I’m actually there I just haven’t done vip before and was just a little confused by the email

[tiny pier]

omg me too

[light flint]

IM GOING !!!!

so excited

[light flint]

duh it got the frost children feature OFC it slaps

I'm so excited to see porter and april EEEEE

[fast shard]

Been a fan since Worlds so its been a long 10 year wait :')

[heavy finch]

Dayum unc bwo 😝

[fast shard]

bwo ?

[light flint]

I vividly remember my friend ryan showing me language and my entire worldview changing

[fast shard]

For me it was thru a National Geographic ad that played Divinity, to this day i cannot find the exact ad

but boi did it change the course of my life

[wise blade]

hey I’ve seen that ad so I know you’re not going crazy

[fast shard]

Oh shi, was it in English ?

[wise blade]

pretty sure

no wait

i found it

it was in dutch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBvGz17Lx0s

with a remix

of divinity

but i remember it being in english

with the og divinity

🤔

[heavy finch]

It's like . Bro but with a w.

[wraith path]

I heard there was going to be a meetup before the concert?

[fast shard]

Yep

[fast shard]

yeah thats the only one i could find

[fast shard]

I know right?!?! Good to know im not the only one. I also vividly remember a grizzly bear in one of the shots in the ad lol

Its cool how one mysterious ad brought me here haha

I really wanna find it again just for nostalgia's sake ( Porter fans try not to get nostalgic challenge )

[sharp shell]

Yeah, at a McDonald's near the venue, and then one afterwards at NQ64.

[unique sleet]

ooh what times the one before again

[wraith path]

Thanks for the details 👍 Going solo so it was either this meetup or just talking with people outside the venue lol

[rotund wadi]

It was 12-2 or maybe 3 iirc then queuing up early afterwards

[unique sleet]

damnn how early are you guys gonna go in the queue?

i was thinking only like 6 lol

[round zephyr]

yeah I think a few are queuing up that early but I'll rock up about an hour before doors probably 😂

[unique sleet]

yeahhhh

we got 2 hours before even underscores i swear

[sharp shell]

Yep, same.

So I won't be at the first meetup either.

[unique sleet]

maybe i will i am closeby but have a lecture at 3

[unique sleet]

2pm 😱

ive never seen ppl queue outside the academy that early

[sharp shell]

Yeah I dunno, I feel like everyone's progressively been one upping each other when it comes to queuing times lol.

[unique sleet]

hahaha

i reckon it will start getting busy maybe at 5 if that i cant lie

[heavy finch]

jesus christ that is so early

my train only gets there like 10 minutes before 5 😭

[unique sleet]

idk how good the queue management is for the academy to be fair but it cant be that bad hahaha

[sharp shell]

Ahahaha, I knowww.

I'm just the messenger.

[unique sleet]

lol

[sharp shell]

I'm in Manchester ~ 4:30, checking into my hotel to do my hair and make up, and then going straight to the venue to queue around 6 lol.

No way in hell am I queueing for half the day.

[heavy finch]

when i went it ended up carrying on the whole street down

but you do get in straight away when you're at the front

[unique sleet]

i think ive seen that before walking past haha

how long did it take you starting at the back?

to get to front

[heavy finch]

fortunately I had a friend who was near the front but based on what i saw probably like 20 to 25 mins maybe

[sharp shell]

Oh that doesn't sound bad at all.

[heavy finch]

yeah they have it down really well teebeeh

[unique sleet]

some ppl are very eager to stand around for 90 minutes it seems

[wraith path]

I wouldn’t mind standing around for a hour if get to talk with peeps to ready myself for the concert but idk about 3-4 hours like what that meetup plan says

[sharp shell]

1-2 hours is my sweet spot.

[unique sleet]

well get to chat to each other after anyway

[heavy finch]

the people doing the meet up is such a small minority anyway so there's no need to worry about when they queue

[unique sleet]

is there porter merch ive been out of the loop

[wraith path]

Yeah. I might just talk to people around me in line lol. Did that last time at the Nurture Live & it was fun

[thick pivot]

my old ass knees will give out if I queued that long

[wraith path]

The only merch I know is that underscore europe shirt? Also the hoodie and poster

[sharp shell]

Yeah it's around 20 people or so interested rn.

[thick pivot]

wonder what the prices are for merch, I got the hoodie at nurture in 2022 and that was £60

[wraith path]

Is it the petal hoodie? I love that hoodie, I bought one too

[unique sleet]

porter release worlds 2

[sharp shell]

If worlmds is so good then where's worlbds 2???

[unique sleet]

i have a theory the smile world tour is called the smile world tour because he is only gonna play worlds songs

[sharp shell]

Lmao.

[fickle surge]

after being kicked from nq64 we have gone to pixel bar :3

[dense lantern]

what's with the PS2 game case over there?

[sharp shell]

Ellie and cole getting kicked again in 5, 4, 3...

[steep comet]

ive not really read chat but will there be a meetup with most or some of the people in here? thinking about maybe going outside of my comfort zone for once to meet some new people

[sharp shell]

Yeah. One before the show at around 12 at McDonald's for the insane people who are going to queue for hours, and one after the show at NQ64.

[steep comet]

goodness me

i think maybe queuing at 3pm might be a bit overkill

[lethal light]

Yeee Maccies at 12pm and nq64

[round zephyr]

I think a few of us have thought that tbf, think there might be a meet up planned in a pub near the venue for those queuing a bit later? Idk it was mentioned on the WhatsApp group im pretty sure idk if it's happening

[lethal light]

I’m also gonna be giving out free pizza to peps in the line too

[dreamy dawn]

This is gonna be banging :)

[round zephyr]

Frrr

[dreamy dawn]

Hope everyone has the best time tomorrow :)

[molten osprey]

oh god im so excited!!! getting stuff packed ready to take the 2.5 hour trip to Manchester tomorrow. Arriving at 1, and planning to get down to the academy for about 5. Hopefully being VIP means there won't be too many ahead of me at that point.

[wise blade]

vips get early entry like an hour before normal queues do anyway

[molten osprey]

yeah i know lol

tbh i expect the vip queue to not even exist before 5:30 anyways since that's when vip registration starts

unless somehow there's a queue for the registration too lol

[trim nest]

i have vip but i have no idea when to show up 😭😭

[steep comet]

gahhh im like literally shaking from excitement just thinking about tomorrow

same sorta feeling of like christmas being tomorrow as a child

but dialled up to 11

YOOOO FELLOW TO-DO USER!!

[weary loom]

Hello people attending the Manchester show!! (and hello to those who were at the London show)

Here's my routinely notice that at the end of the show, usually one of the band members hands out setlist papers so if you get one please send a picture of it in #porter-robinson-live!! Also you can try asking the stage crew nicely and maybe theyll give you it. Anyways, enjoy the show!

[fleet fractal]

On the train over to Manchester now, so excited :3

[round zephyr]

SAMEEE ‼️‼️

[sharp shell]

Godspeed!

[night dagger]

we'll probably miss underscores so someone let me know how the set went

we won't get into manchester until about half hour before porter gets on

[round zephyr]

my porter boutta be so robinsoned tonight

[fleet fractal]

I'm so hyped to see underscores too I didn't register it was her until like September and then was like wtf 2 of my top 5 artists in one night

[brave inlet]

guys i’m awake

i promise i didn’t die 😭😭

[wraith path]

Gotten some sleep afterall I see

[fleet fractal]

Anyone waiting around outside already btw, not really sure how early to show up if I'm wanting to be right at the front (with vip)

Assuming I'll be too late regardless but yea lmao

[versed summit]

Sounds great

[unique sleet]

I saw they were setting some stuff up earlier

[versed summit]

Techincally speaking what's allowed and what's not in the concert?

[unique sleet]

Illegal stuff

[versed summit]

I have a surprise

[fleet fractal]

From what I read online they have a cloakroom for bags and stuff

[lusty cloak]

I’ve just seen a few of you outside, fair play aha

[versed summit]

Other than obvious ofc

[fleet fractal]

I'm expecting to show up in like an hour and there already be like 100 people in front of me 😭

Left a little late

[versed summit]

It's 1 fucking PM and ppl r there already?

[round zephyr]

Jesus christ im feeling like im leaving it a bit late now 😂

[lusty cloak]

I walked past at 12 and there were a couple of people

[versed summit]

Doors are open like 5:30 for VIP even tho will be there prior

[fleet fractal]

Tbh I'm aiming for a good spot but I also know I may have to skip merch for that which I really don't want to 😔

[brave inlet]

is a selfie stick allowed?

it’s nothing too long and i’m just really short .

so i want to record atleast something you know?

[molten osprey]

I checked a few weeks ago and nah they arent

[versed summit]

Are the doors or venue open or people are just waiting outside?

I hope they allow posters

[molten osprey]

Also hello Manchester!! I just got situated at my hotel and imma be heading down to the academy at like 5.

[dense lantern]

we're outside rn

[brave inlet]

😭

my short ass gotta find a good place to stand in

[unique sleet]

ill be walking past it in like an hour ill take a picture

[dreamy dawn]

setting off in 2-3 hours lmfao

[wraith path]

My train is at 3:20, I’ll be there an hour after that

[dreamy dawn]

my uncle's getting me at around 20 to 3 or 4 ish

so

[molten osprey]

As much as I find that crazy to be there 5 hours early I admire the dedication.

[spare river]

WHAT😭😭

[fleet fractal]

How many are there rn

[dense lantern]

there's like less than 30 of us i think

[fleet fractal]

I'll probably be like 20 mins

[spare river]

I wanna be at the front but I’m gonna lose to people waiting 12 hours

Never underestimate terminally online teenagers

[molten osprey]

The more I hear about people arriving this early the more glad I am I got a VIP ticket lol

[versed summit]

Litreally worth it lol

[fleet fractal]

I'd assume most people coming early got one, seems a little silly otherwise

[wraith path]

Damn I only got general admission 😭 Did general last time at Nurture show and I was able to get a good spot

[dense lantern]

nope! i'm GA

[fickle surge]

free photocards for people 🩷

[dense lantern]

i just wanted to meet with everyone before the show

[fleet fractal]

Okay yeah that's real too I get that

[molten osprey]

It'd be weird for VIP people to come that early considering the VIP registration doesn't open until 5:30 lol

[molten osprey]

These are awesome

[versed summit]

I'll be there a bit eariler but some mfs are way too early

[brave inlet]

guys

do i record the whole set tonight

[dreamy dawn]

omg, love these :D

[brave inlet]

i half planned to anyway (including underscores)

[dense lantern]

go for it

if you can!

[round zephyr]

if u do definitely send it to me so I don't have to record everything 😂

[round zephyr]

[sharp shell]

Haha.

[brave inlet]

7pm doors guys :3

[fleet fractal]

Last train is 11:30pm so I'm risking it by waiting but I will anyway lmao

Idk, it'd be nice to bump into him and tell him his work is awesome. But other than that.

[brave inlet]

porter put it on his insta story

[sharp shell]

Not fussed.

Lol, no hotel or anything?

Wishing you luck then, hope you don't miss it lol. I think curfew is at 11.

[fleet fractal]

Nah, though I can probably just get an uber worst case scenario, like £30 but yea

[wraith path]

Damn didn’t realise, might need to get a taxi if I miss it

[fleet fractal]

I'm thankfully not insanely far away

[fleet fractal]

oh tbf very dependent on where you're going ofc

[wraith path]

Just checked the trains and yup the last is 11:32 for me

[molten osprey]

Id love to, I brought my smile cd just in case I can get him to sign it, but I ain't gonna go out of my way for it if he's being crowded or if I need to rush for it.

[spare river]

Taking a coach 11:50 here lol

Should be good for timing

He hasn’t come on too late for the other shows

[untold slate]

do we just wait outside near the tour bus or whatever (ive never waited after a show before lol)

[molten osprey]

Oh I have no idea myself lol

When I heard about underscores performing at first and saw the reactions I thought "oh I'd better check them out before I go" but tbh I just forgot and now I'm just excited to listen to them for the first time.

[little bough]

Staying away from that bootleg merch gonna give me scabies or some shit

[molten osprey]

Me rn wanting to talk about how much I love these caps but not wanting to look like I'm flexing on the non-vips.

The dilemma is real

[versed summit]

I don't usually like caps but this one is cool

[dense lantern]
