    Back in 2008, I went to an Evanescence concert. They had 2 opening acts that were roughly an hour each. I think it's quite normal to have it be that long.

    It is so nice seeing you do things with your other children. I know personally know what it feels like to have a sibling with disabilities and need more attention and care, doing things with your ones that do not have the same ailments!! Keep it up this makes me so happy to see!

    @1loserinthemaking490 Před rokem +74

    Only ever been to 1 concert and it was also a big band, all time low, and the tickets let you arrive in like this 2 hour window, you didn't have to go in and see the openers but you could ( especially if you wanted a good floor seat )
    They were only three of them and they only did a handful of songs each it was probably only like an hour until the band came out. :)

  • @FanofAJR
    @FanofAJR Před rokem +16

    I hope you all had an amazing time! Also yes that’s pretty average for concerts nowadays. However if you have seats and only care for the opening act you don’t have to arrive right on time, I only suggest arriving super early if you have pit tickets! 🤗

    Im going to FOB this summer, went to 2 other concerts, one of which was last year, and yes. They are like that. Arrived at 6 and got home at 12:30. Had school the next day.

  • @xzAllisonxz
    @xzAllisonxz Před rokem +16

    It is normal nowadays for there to be opening acts. Usually it's 1 or 2 so 3 is it a bit longer. So glad y'all had a good time.

  • @umi6462
    @umi6462 Před rokem +18

    My first concert, I went there when doors opened so around 4-5 PM. We went to our seats by 7:30 and it started at 8:20. I stayed until almost 12 and it wasn't close to done lol. My aunt said "Oh my god really? 3 hours?' and. I thought it was the norm as it was my first.

  • @michaelaberry1276
    @michaelaberry1276 Před rokem +15

    That's certainly on the longer side. Last concert I was at, the opening act was on for 1.5 to 2 hours then a small break then the main act was a similar length. If there were multiple openers then I'd've expected each to be on for less time

  • @heidigillespie5711
    @heidigillespie5711 Před rokem +7

    I have noticed that when there are several opening acts, it is common that the main event does not begin until about eight or 9 PM. I think it is good to do a little research beforehand and find out if you want to see all of the opening acts.

  • @buttermepancake3613
    @buttermepancake3613 Před rokem +4

    I only have been to 1 concert and that wasn't until my mid 20s but that seems about the same experience I had. This was a punk concert in a smaller indoor venue but yes, the two openers took a little over an hour each before the main performance which lasted about 2 and a half hours
    I was probably there for a total of 5 and a half hours

  • @leeammhawkins245
    @leeammhawkins245 Před rokem

    My husband and i love several different genres of music rock, rap, hip hop, r&b, Spanish music and edm and we have been to well over 60 concerts, live shows and music festivals over the years and more recently the main acts don’t go on until around 9pm and the doors open depending on the number of opening acts. Earlier doors opening usually equals more opening acts 😁

  • @Maggytheredpandadog4
    @Maggytheredpandadog4 Před rokem +23

    I just went to a big concert and the opening acts lasted 3 hours. I think it is normal now. It is kind of annoying though because your not here to see the opening acts. It can still be good though

  • @__A_A
    @__A_A Před rokem

    So I love converts!! I go all of the time! The answer is every concert is different. Some take half of a day while others only a few hours from opening act to encore. My best advice is to Google a set list before you go & you can better estimate what amount of time you’ll be busy!

    I went to AJR’s Newport, KY concert on 6/23/23. The show was supposed to start at 7, got there at 5:30 for pit tickets. Ended up getting front row, we got out of the concert at 11 that night,
    They had two openers (Livingston & Lawrence.)
    It took us ~6 hours

    I go to concerts a lot, and that sounds a little long to me, but its not unheard of. most big acts have at least 2 openers, although recently I went to one that had none, which really threw me off lol! we are perpetually late so I count on those openers! I hope y'all had a great time, concerts are one of my most favorite things to do!

  • @kristopherschermerhorn998
    @kristopherschermerhorn998 Před 6 měsíci

    Yes. It is completely normal. I actually call the venue ahead of time to ask what time the main act takes the stage. If they can’t tell me, I ask how many openers and how long they are each slotted for. I’m always given that info and then I can estimate. I always shoot to give myself an extra hour or so to be in my seat for the main act to play it safe. But yeah unless I love an opener, no interest spending my entire afternoon and evening at the show!

    I just went to an AJR concert in August. I dont think it is the new norm. There are opening acts that are usually 30 minutes, but there is usually never more than one. ( also AJR is my favorite band) 😊

  • @molli9292
    @molli9292 Před rokem

    i go to a lot of concerts and i would say if you’re going to see a band or person that’s on the more popular side expect it to be a long concert, however if you’re seeing a person/band that’s smaller expect it to be shorter. For example i saw One Direction in 2011 and i was there for about 7 hours. I saw another bigger band a couple months ago and o was there for around 5 1/2 hours however the smaller bands i’ve seen tend to have 1 1/2 - 3 hour concerts at most. hope this helps! (excuse my punctuation i don’t understand it)

  • @ajrontour330
    @ajrontour330 Před 8 měsíci

    i know this is late but I was here and it was supposed to be more of a summer concert series mini festival type of thing. when ajr tours they’ve almost always had only the one opener with like a 40 minute set before them

    They usually tell you who will be opening for them.
    Sometimes it’s a local act or a comedian.
    But yes, most have a few opening acts.

  • @serenast.germain3469
    @serenast.germain3469 Před rokem

  • @mazstreats7955

  • @pacemarshall9358
    @pacemarshall9358 Před rokem

    3 opening bands might be a bit more than usual, but 2 opening bands is very, very typical. A larger band like AJR frequently will bring a 3rd opening band. If you go to a smaller show (not a stadium show), there will likely be 2 opening bands, with 30 minutes in between each band. I hope you had a BLAST!! I go to over 20 concerts a year, and have so many fond memories of going to shows with my parents when I was young. I know your son will carry these memories with him for decades to come.

    When I was in third grade I went to a concert. There was like 3 different singers before the one actually came out. And I passed out before he even got on stage. It was 12 am when he came out. I was so disappointed. I sat through like 2 people I didn’t even know and didn’t even get to see the singer we actually went for. And then he hasn’t came since then. Other than the rodeo. Which isn’t a concert. He just sings like 4 lines of a song then goes into the next song.

    Also between each opening it took a LONG time each time. But it was worth waiting to see AJR (and Em Beihold but especially AJR). I am glad though that AJR's happened when it was dark enough to see the lighting and stuff but still they should have had something between each act instead of just playing like a radio with advertising.
