Well yes, of course you can, you can also turn up in time for the doors opening at 7, then go to the bar. Crikey, easy CountZero, I was only planning to get there 30 mins or so after doors open. Cheers all. CountZero, that would make sense if gigs were static audiences. Virtually every gig I go to has an area at the front, some sort of mosh pit although I hate that word…when I started going to gigs in the late 80s we called it wrecking. Why is it bad if I turn up late and go to the pit?
Most of the bellends who stand front and centre soon realise that there is a place to stand, and a place to dance. I went to a kasabian I know, total shit at the civic once. The lad I was with insisted on getting there before the doors opened. He then waited by the stage, while I went back and forwards with beer. The people that were there before anything happened were pretty much all replaced by people wanting to dance by the the time the band started.

Check out this post I wrote about why bands still need openers. This year I went to two shows at larger venues — even without trying, I ended up being plenty early to both. For The Neighbourhood, I showed up 15 minutes after the doors opened, had no problem finding parking, and walked right inside.
When I went to see The , my wife and I got there about 30 minutes before the doors opened, but we just grabbed a street hotdog and walked around downtown until the lines died down. Both shows were fantastic, but we waited inside for about an hour at each show before the first band played. When the headlining band plays depends largely on when the show starts.
If doors open at 7 p. When my wife and I went to see The , doors opened at 6 p. No Rome opened the show at 7 p. Pale Waves went on around p. And The played right at 9 p. Even at all-day festivals like Warped Tour R. P set-times were only announced the day-of, and never online.
The only way to know when your favorite bands were playing was to check the blow-up wall of set-times or buy the bootleg paper ones inside. Venues know that most people who buy tickets only want to come for the headliner.
But if everyone showed up that late, nobody would be making any money. The bands, the venue, and the promoters all want to get people in the door early to maximize sales opportunities.
How early should you arrive to a concert? Most people arrive to concerts between 30 minutes to 1 hour early. But, how early you arrive to a concert depends on the experience you want to have. Can you show up late to a concert? Yes — you can show up late to a concert. However, if the show sells-out and you were planning on buying tickets at the door, you might be turned away.
What time does a concert usually end? All-ages concerts typically end between 11 p.
