Yeah thats what I thought too. Even if he was in the studio I would expect a few more gigs. But I guess to try and pull them off in this unplanned way is logistically quite difficult.

I'm pretty sure he will play tomorrow as I'm in London today and Thursday razz

Has anybody tweeted Anstiss? He started it!

I got mine from the fact the staff were put on standby, it's a venue that's free and worked...and just blind hope.

I got mine from Toby Anstiss on Heart Radio this morning, around 9.15, over the intro to 1999, he said "did anybody see Prince at the Shepherds Bush Empire on Sunday. If you didn't, don't worry, as they're playing there again tonight". But since then, no word, nothing. Hence my suggesting that somebody tweets him and asks him to provide some further detail to his statement as SBE are still saying "not tonight" and "Sunday was a one-off".

I've messaged Heart FM to ask...chance of getting a reply in the next couple of hours is pretty remote though. And I'm not on Twitter unfortunately...

Ahh thanks Dave, I'm not on Twitter either, hence asking someone on here who is to do it. I'm in Vauxhall until 5 so can hang on til then however as time is going on, I'm beginning to think it's not going to happen. Did you contact Heart via Facebook? I think they're on as Heart London, Facebook might be best perhaps???? I can't get on Facebook cos it's banned at work otherwise I'd do it myself.

...shame, as the Tube strike is off now and that would have made things real easy to get there...

Did it through the Heart website (Facebook doesn't work here either!)...2.00pm almost and no word. Would be tricky to get 2,000 people to the SBE at short notice on a Tuesday, specially as it didn't sell out on a Sunday with a midday announcement. Oh, for some positive news of a show tonight!!!

It wasn't far short of selling out, people were still entering untill around 9ish, I was one of the first into the top section and that slowly filled up, all the others were closed off as full. No-way though could they get 2k in from opening doors until he came on stage (unless he came on late) they would really need to open doors at 6, more drinks sales so dont know why they didnt/wouldn't, poss probs getting the req staff all in at that time?

I think people believing it would cost them £70 each to get in put a lot of people off trying for SBE on Sunday though. confused If they had stated the £10 ticket price from the get-go, I am fairly certain that a lot more people would have turned up for it!

I would love a show tonight! Though the later it gets, the less chance that I could get to London in time, especially with the train delays...

I'm 3hrs away so 1pm was my cut off. If they announce it now it just reinforces that it's for London only - bums on seats is all that counts. Not sure if his manager is new but she seems ruthless and a little self-promoting

You must have been fairly close to me then. You're right, there was no space to be had anywhere. I had to peak around the lighting guy, who was a complete dick. At one point doing the worlds loudest yawn and strecth of arms in silly pantomine drama fashion.

Will do...but I'm guessing he knows that because he either lied or caused the plug to be pulled.

Maybe it a pyramid system...they're gradually working the suitability of each gig down until it meets just 1 persons needs; even the girls in the band will be busy when a gig is announced at this rate

...and is cancelled this year:

http://metro.co.uk/2013/09/23/hard-rock-calling-axed-for-2014-4093060/

Hard Rock Calling has become the latest casualty of the music festival scene and has been axed for 2014.

The festival, whose headliners have included Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen, won’t go ahead for another year, it has been confirmed.

Hard Rock Calling – first established in 2006 – had been staged in London’s Hyde Park but after promoters lost the contract for the area, it was moved this summer to the Olympic Park in east London.

Hi, my first post on org but have been glued to it for the last week! I've also jut tweeted Toby Anstis (slightly sarcastically I admit!) so will let you know if I hear anything. I'm in Norwich so too late for me to get there now but will enjoy reading other orgers reviews if anything does happen!
