    It says 7.30 on tickets?
    With a support act I was hoping they would be on stage at 9 as I could struggle to make 8

    Maybe they're not letting people into the venue itself until 6:00, which is what the person on the phone meant.

    More likely:

    Doors to the hall open at 7:30, as stated on the ticket.
    Support act (Jamie Lenman) on at 8:00.
    Biffy on around 9:00.

    Didn't even realise they had a support act.

    Encore:

    Friends and Enemies (without amplification)
    God and Satan
    Many of Horror

    Superb stuff. So many highlights, but some of the songs that weren't on the Unplugged album arguably provided some of the best moments of the night, if only for the element of surprise. Justboy, in particular, was incredible.
    The acoustic setting also helps showcase the vocals better. Some really effective harmonies.
    The sound was great where I was (on the barrier), so hopefully nobody has horror stories about having sound issues from being at the back of the hall.
    A really great show that was a privilege to attend.

    Agree with all that. I was about halfway back and can confirm the sound was perfect there too.

    Really struggling to pick a highlight! Bubbles probably got the strongest applause/cheers afterwards, but I think Machines had the best crowd singalong. Friends and Enemies without any amplification was a brave move that really paid off. Confession: I didn't actually recognise the song Simon did alone with the piano (Adored?) but it was incredible - I looked around and there wasn't a single phone up and everyone near me was in rapt silence - even the dopes behind me who chatted through half the set. And then Mountains, Folding Stars, Justboy, Medicine... It just shows how tight their songwriting is, that you can take all that away and they're still brilliant. Wasn't sure what I expected tonight but that was wonderful.

    Belfast was brilliant last night! The whole crowd were on their feet singing along to Bubbles. Class. Favourite banter -
    Random fella in the crowd: "I like your tree!"
    Simon: "Thanks...I like your...seat."

    Saw the Biff in The Helix on Saturday night and jesus the sound in The Helix is awful. Thankfully incredible harmonies from the lads meant it was still a damn enjoyable experience. Setlist was decent, would have liked 'God Only Knows' but that's being picky.

    Only other drawback from the gig was the absolute tool in front of me taking photos of the gig at every song with his display brightness turned right up, can people try going to a gig and not watch it through a camera lens for once.
