chathy Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hello. I am a square these days. We just moved to the UK. First concert at Hyde is this one. Woo Hoo Pearl Jam!!!! But I have a sitter I need to give times too. Could someone give me a good estimate of what is to be expected if our ticket says 2:00 pm. Am I missing a big statement of etstimated PJ timing.l. I know the other performers want to be seen and such but I have a kiddo I have to work around. EEEK Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenolive Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hi , I was at a Hyde park concert last week 👍 The gates open at 2pm , and all the support acts will be on through the afternoon - expect pearl jam to be on around 8:30pm and the whole concert day to finish at around 10:30pm. Hope this helps , enjoy the concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) setlist.fm has set times for previous shows (https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/pearl-jam-23d6b80b.html - beware potential setlist spoilers of course, even though they do a different set every night). Pearl Jam tend to go on a bit, but on the other hand there'll be a strict curfew at Hyde Park to keep the locals happy (Adele was all done by 10.20pm on Saturday) Even if it's an early (Adele-like) finish you've still got to contend with 50,000 people heading for the exits. Do you live in Mayfair? if not err on the side of caution. Edited July 3, 2022 by toneknob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenolive Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Good advise from toneknob , I didn’t factor in leaving the venue. It probably took a good 20mins to get out of Hyde park come the end of the show, and then of course to where you need to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Having said that though, PJ do ridiculously early/long encores so when that happens you can start heading to the exits and still catch the end of the show but be nearer the exits. Then leg it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicko Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Depending on which day you are there have a good look at the support acts and decide how early you need to be there. and of course you need to be there early if you intend to be at the front of the stage. There's a local noise curfew at 22.30 so it will definitely be finished by then. I found getting out surprisingly easy when we went a few years back, we walked down the middle of Park Lane on a Saturday night which was a bit surreal.

Then leg it No long encores - they WILL pull the plug at 22.30 as Springsteen and McCartney found out in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long as in many songs, but still finishing at the curfew time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a massive PJ fan - most of the songs seem to go on forever anyway so maybe the encores just seem never ending?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 It’s probably only one song as well……. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Sounds like it's long enough for them to finish the whole drinks cupboard 🙂. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
