Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:15:00 BST

* And there she is! All the crews and staff have stopped work to watch her rehearse. She sounds amazing. Reckon the gig's gonna be a stunner!

* The Feeling are 'feeling' patchy after their drummer's weekend stag bash. In fact, they've all retired to the tourbus for a pregig kip. ...

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:09:51 BST

* EH? WHA? SPEAK UP! As predicted, The Feeling's soundcheck is pant-wettingly loud. But they look v dapper in hats, suits and spats. Bless em

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 15:11:26 BST

* The Feeling are unloading 56 tonnes of equipment (including a natty pink amp). All of it looks like it has the potential to be very noisy.

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:48:23 BST

* Generally speaking, being 'backstage' at a show is a game of two halves. On one hand, watching Adele's soundcheck is like being at a private gig. Amazing... But right now, I'm huddled round a cup of soup in a drafty canteen trying to thaw my frozen fingers to text this. Oh, the glamour!

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:59:34 BST

* Just interviewed Keane. Utterly charming. Joking they're gonna get fake tans and teeth veneers in LA next week. Glam Keane? Discuss.

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:38:48 BST

* Welcome! V cold here in East London. Lots of people in wooly hats moving bits of technical equipment around. But Keane are soundchecking!

* Today is the day!
