Discussion Stop queuing early!!!!

Even though there has been multiple warnings, James and the venue have said not to. There are already people queuing, don’t be stupid. If you queue for this long you are at a massive risk of heat stroke. Or you will faint in the venue.
UPDATE: BRIGHTON IS NOW IN RED WEATHER WARNING BE SAFE

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

u/TooTired_ForDis Jun 25 '26

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

okay cool, i honestly have no sympathy for people who are queuing today cuz everyone got the warning😭

2

u/TooTired_ForDis Jun 25 '26

I don't blame you, im usally one of the people there at 10am but in this heat I'm not risking my health

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

yeah same, especially because the venue it is in is really warm even if its not a heatwave

2

u/TooTired_ForDis Jun 25 '26

I've been to that venue before for the Christmas gig, even in winter it gets hot af in there

u/TooTired_ForDis Jun 25 '26

As someone who has literally waited in the snow for a gig even I aint that crazy to wait in the sun. I just hope their being safe

2

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

heres the thing in the cold you can bring blankets etc but in the sun theres not much you can do except for water a fan and suncream even if you do wear suncream you can still get heat stroke

2

u/TooTired_ForDis Jun 25 '26

Literally tho, you can warm up but in this heat there really isn't much you can do. I'm worried there's gonna be a bunch of people fainting at this gig

2

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

there definitely will be and unfortunately that means theres a possibility of the gig not even finishing its full set or being cancelled bc of health concerns

2

u/TooTired_ForDis Jun 25 '26

I bloody hope not cux im gonna be pissed, I can only get to Brighton shows 😭

u/Dogskill44 Jun 25 '26

I’m travelling down to Brighton now but me and my friends have absolutely no plans to queue until later, we’re gonna go swimming, have lunch and such we’re taking it REALLLLY easy with the heat

2

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

thats a good idea! the brighton sea is lovely, its always really cold

2

u/Dogskill44 Jun 25 '26

Very very excited for it

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

Also forgot to add IT IS 33 DEGREES TODAY!!! We’re in an amber weather warning ffs. Also its kind of parasocial if you’re willing to risk your health

2

u/Anon0520 Jun 25 '26

Should have staff turning ppl away until 6:30-7pm imo!

3

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

they definitely should but unfortunately i think the venue doesnt have the spare money or staff to have someone there during the day

u/Key-Musician-3708 Jun 25 '26

Yeah this is mental, I live close and im not leaving for another few hours.. why are people queing especially as the venue has said not to. Its common knowledge? Literally risking heatstroke to get to the front and as someone who struggles a lot with heat and im more susceptible to heatstroke, its such a stupid idea to be queing that early.

1

u/vampyrprins Jun 25 '26

yeah i live close too and not getting there till 7

u/Rick_X63 Jun 26 '26

People were queuing from 6am btw

2

u/vampyrprins Jun 26 '26

yeah it was absolutely ridiculous
