Doors typically open around 6:00 PM. Yes, that’s the universal signal to start panic-texting your friends about where to park.
The actual musical warfare—aka the show—usually kicks off between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM. Don’t show up at 8:30 thinking you’ll catch the main event; you’ll be standing in an empty arena, humming to yourself over an overpriced hot dog.
This isn’t a polite jazz recital. This is two bands who once wrote a song about a girl named Chloe who had a broken heart, and they will start on time to maximize the shouting.
But Wait—There’s a Support Act, Right?
Oh, absolutely. You know those support acts that nobody listens to until they play a half-decent cover? Yeah, they’re on at 7:30 PM sharp. Treat them with respect; they’re basically the opening act for your nostalgia trip.
After they finish (usually around 8:15 PM), there’s a magical 30-minute interlude. This is when you queue for the bathroom, realize you forgot your earplugs, and question why you wore jeans that are three sizes too small.
The actual headliner—whether it’s Busted doing “What I Go to School For” or McFly shredding through “Obviously”—hits the stage around 9:00 PM. They’ll play until maybe 10:45 PM, unless the crowd demands an encore so loud that the arena’s roof starts to sweat.
