Hiya, first post and all. I'm coming up from London to see Mogwai in Cambridge in April but the last train back to London is at 11.18. I've never been to a Mogwai gig before, so I was just wondering if anyone could help me out and give me some information regarding how long an average set lasts, as I'll be gutted if I have to leave early in order to get the last train home. Thanks!

I'm going to the same gig. They've never played later than 11 at any gig i've been to and almost all gigs have an 11 o'clock curfew anyhow. You should be fine.

I can't really remember how long the last one I went to was, but I suppose it's no longer than any other concert. So something in between 1h30 and 2h.

My friends band play for around 15mins live....in that time they get thru about 10 songs. Sorry this has nothing to do with the current thread but i like watching them.

depends on the song choices of course, but if they'll be playing their mr. beast songs and probably a long song like MFMK or MFS, i'd say about an hour.

Main set - around 1 hour Encores - 10 to 25 minutes depending on what songs they choose
This is based on a considerable number of viewings of the live Mogwai experience, and even more live recordings. The longest shows they've ever played (as far as I'm aware) were on the 2001 US tour, where they were regularly clocking up 1h45m to 2h.
Enjoy your first show - please let us know how it goes.

My friends band is called Narcosis. They had a split out with melt banana a while back. Shameless plug over x
