Anyone know if this is true? I was hoping to hear what was soundchecked by now! :shock:

    from the horse's mouth, so I dont see why anyone would doubt it. is there bad weather? and why would they wait until now to fly to out of Berlin? I see that was posted about 10am CT, so about 4pm GST. seems like they were cutting it very close even if the flight was on time.

    My thoughts exactly... why wouldnt you fly in yesterday so you could sleep in the city you're playing at? Just seems like if you have two days between shows its a no-brainer.

    We'll see what happens, I suppose.

    maybe they were afraid of running into Noel and Liam.

    I read another PJ-related twitter page at about 10pm EST and it said the same thing. Apparently people in the 10C line had confirmed with the band's security that they were "stranded at the airport."

    I doubt we'll get a soundcheck today, which is too bad. Hopefully the show will go on.

    No offense is meant by this comment but if I had the choice between spending a day in Berlin or Manchester, it would be a no brainer for me :geek:

    still you would think they would leave a little more buffer in case of bad weather, mechanical problems, Boom not showing up (again), etc.

    Yeah I definitely wasnt saying one city was better than the other - just seems like if you have 15-20K people waiting to see you then you better not leave any room for error like this.

    I'm sure they'll get there though - just can't imagine whats going on behind the scenes to make alternate plans, etc. :?

    It appears that Ben is one of the members of Gomez. This doesn't look good...
