Nobody likes to show up late and miss the opening act. But let’s be real: you’re here for the man himself. The openers usually play for about 30 to 45 minutes each, and there’s often one or two of them.
So, if you want to be safe, add another 45 to 90 minutes to your total evening. That means your whole night out could be a solid three to four hours from door time to the final lights-up. It’s like going to a music festival, but with a comfier seat.
Pro tip: Check your venue’s schedule the day before. Some shows start later than others, and you don’t want to be the person who walks in during the second verse of “Save Your Tears.”
