I would like to correct your comment on The Point Gigs. He played 3 nights Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
He went on stage around 21:10/15 and played a 2 hour set. On Sunday played to approx 00:30 as they wanted more shots for the video.
I hope this was helpful, I was the house sparks on duty over the weekend.
I can’t find any evidence of a Friday show (21 November). I’ve looked for setlists, tickets, posters etc. The tour t-shirts only mention 22/23 November. Happy to be corrected though!
