Why do artists always show up 2-3 hours late for a show

[TransJenner]

like if I saw you and you took 5 hours to show up wbu would I wanna see you again
And mainly all artists do this


I heard Beyoncé actually shows up on time
But why not everyone else
Isn't that bad for your brand

 

[just my thoughts]

Because hip hop fans propel nothing in to something. Pretending like the artist is how when in fact the myth would be busted once they hit the stage early and the crowd realises it's only one song you teuly cared about

Making your fans wait increases the anticipation factor.
Making fans wait, means the venue has increased alcohol sales
Artists have to "pump themselves up" before preforming (performing can be very scary).

If you talking bout club dates, its to keep people in the club. You dont want the artist to play and then have the crowd leave possibly. You make it a whole night breh... Thats why they come out around 1am

Atleast they even show up. My boy Sosa still aint paid back for them tickets in 2012.

I can tolerate that at a club or a small venue ... But for tour concert? Especially during the week and shyt... Nah, that shyt ain't cool

 

[Cladyclad]

they really don’t want to be doing that shyt all the time tbh

Some nights they be on idgaf tip which understandable, but not if paying customer

And some just don’t give a fukk period. They feel entitled
