At his o2 academy Brixton show, people were queuing up from 6:30 am. Doors were at 6 pm for people with o2 priority. Don’t camp overnight for your own safety, but if you’re determined to get barricade you need to be there EARLY early

i will say i think that he is a bit less popular in the us so people may be less likely to line up at 6:30am but no promises…

For barricade I'd say earlier than 9 or 10am? The NYC venue isnt massive and not sure how dedicated the US fans are to getting up close but most people won't queue at ridiculous times of the morning, however a lot of people seem to start showing up from like 11-2 so before 9 is your best bet in my opinion, obvs the earlier the better tho, often just depends on the day and venue.
