9.30am - I wake up expecting a great night of music and hopefully getting home around 2am latest
10am - I take the train to London, meeting up with friends on the way that are also going
1pm - We arrive at Wembley Park after also taking the subway and start queueing, we split up cos not all tickets queue at the same place, we were at C
The ticket :D (£50)
Me queueing - is that how you spell it?
The length of the queue at C early on
4.30pm - Gates open, hurrah. We can get into Wembley Stadium, so we try to get as far forward as possible, end up around 15 rows from the front, pretty good
6pm to 8.45pm - The supports act start this time in this order: I Am Arrows, White Lies and Biffy Clyro.
Here's a song from each if you wanna hear them:

Biffy Clyro - The lead looks like Jesus, sorta
I thought all 3 were pretty decent, not amazing but worth a watch
8.45pm - Muse finally come on, starting with Uprising
They were amazing, obviously, and there were lots of great stuff happening, for example confetti exploding, giant balloons, a rotating and rising platform where they played Undiclosed Desires, Matt Bellamy wearing a LED jacket and shades and of course a massive floating UFO for when Exogenesis played along with an acrobat/alien dangling from it

Anyway, here's the amazing video of the UFO in Exogenesis and them also playing Stockholm Syndrome, low quality again
11pm - We leave, it's a long and slow walk because of the swarm of people trying to get onto the subway, the last train that goes to my hometown is at 12.05am
12.30am - We arrive at London Victoria station, unfortunately the 12.05 wasn't mega delayed as I had hoped so we have to take the 1am train to another city and take a bus from there.
1am - This train is absolutely packed, all I can do is stand and not move, really uncomfortable. There's a pissed off white guy standing by the door right next to me and a black guy standing behind him.
Randomly after both seem to be muttering under their breath they start squaring up to each other calling each other "badman" and the black guy keeps screaming and gets his hand on the white guy's neck, when I manage to find enough space to jump out of the way.
But luckily, some hippie who was holding a book and wearing a multicoloured knitted hoodie tried to calm things down as well as a 2nd black man trying to calm down the first.
They're no longer at each other's faces but they still shout to each other even though they're less than 1m apart and the black guy keeps laughing and whips his phone out to call for hit on the white guy by telling his buddy to wait at the next stop. He tells the white guy "it's game over" for him and that gangs in London is still serious business.
It was pretty crazy standing in the middle of this, but when the train did stop the black guy left telling the white guy to come fight him but the white guy said nah and the train carried on. But instantly, people said they would've come to the rescue of the white guy if a proper fight had happened. Yeah right...
The rest of the train journey was pretty normal although the white guy started talking about books with the hippie and the rest of the carriage were still gossiping about the white guy and black guy.
3am - I arrive at the end of the train stop and have to take the nightbus back to my town, which takes another hour. But it was one hilarious hour, as all the drunks wearing fancy dress (Fred Flinstone, Batman) had just finished clubbing and they were all singing old classics such as "Eternal Flame", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" all out of tune and out of sync. On top of that one guy was filming this yellow t-shirt guy jumping onto the floor face forward and to not use his hands.
As my friends one by one leave the bus at it reaches their stop, the yellow t-shirt guy has ripped his shirt off and threw all his clothes out of the window including shoes and socks because his drunk mates told him to.
He only had a box to hide his stuff and screamed "Why am I naked!?" then got off the bus but not without flashing the driver.
4am - It gets to my town and I start walking home with my friend, who's the last one left too
5am - Finally some sleep
Overall and eventful day
