How long does a concert last?

Been to two Arctic Monkeys concerts and like you I am going again on this tour , can't wait.

Smith Westerns have just cancelled so unless they bring in someone else it'll all probably change.

I'm guessing they'll come on about 9, and usually play about 20 songs so yeah be about 2 hours altogether.

THE BEST TWO HOURS OF YOUR LIFE may I add

Neurosis played a 4-5 hour set once. Wish I was there, gutted that I wasn't.

I thought the Vaccines are the guests? I don't get what you mean about Smith Westerns?

definitely will be the BEST TWO HOURS of my life!!! It's my first time to go to an Arctic Monkeys concert and I've known them since I was 13 (I'm 18).

PLUS the fact that I actually come from Asia. When I knew them I had no idea that one day I will be able to see them in person!! Now I'm studying in England so I get a chance!!! So flipping happy!!!

Do you reckon they will be playing any old songs? I so so so much want to hear them sing old songs like When the Sun Goes down or 505! (But certainly they have changed their music type now..?)

Yeah they are but the Smith Westerns were meant to be like extra guests but they've pulled out now, oh well, still get the Vaccines AND ARCTIC MONKEYS wooo.

Well I can guarantee you won't be disappointed!

They'll definitely do When The Sun Goes Down and then chances are they'll finish with 505 so no need to worry there haha

I'll have to speak to you again and see what you thought once you've seen them!

Are you sure it starts at 6.30? That's sounds more like doors.
Gigs usually last between 2 and 3 hours, it depends how many supports there are and how quick at setting up they are in between.
Most gigs with doors of 6.30 start between 7 and 8 and finish between 10 and 11....

That is what the ticket says, but I reckon it will start at 7 or 8 anyway

it probably will. 6.30 is rather early for a gig to actually start XD

Can I ask a silly question by the way, do you know if it is outdoor or indoor??

London 02 arena should be indoors. Most places will tell you specifically if it's outside, and (in my experience) most outside gigs are more festivals.

they have to finish before 12 at the 02, because of local residents, I guess it will last about 2-2 and half pushing it, thats what the other concerts lasted for when I went o2, all different bands!

Most finish at 11

I went to an Alice Cooper concert the other day.

Doors opened at 6.30pm

it said on the ticket that the concert was going to start at 7.30pm, but in fact it started at 8pm. The supporting act was on from 8pm till 8.30pm.

then there was a half hour interval.

then Alice Cooper played from 9pm-10.30pm.

And that was that.

edited to add : how annoying that your friend has cancelled. Can't you find somebody else to go with you?

No Do you know anyone would be around in London this sunday?
