The star decides the exact finish time. A pop princess might party until 10:50 pm. A grumpy rock band? They might be done by 10:15 pm. No tea, no sympathy.
But don’t wing it. Check your ticket or the O2’s app. They list “curfew” times. That’s the law for them, not a suggestion.
The weird science of “finish time.”
Think of it like a sandwich. You have openers (the bread), a main act (the filling), and then an encore (the pickle you didn’t ask for). The headliner usually hits the stage around 9:00 pm.
That gives them roughly two hours. One hour of bangers, one hour of emotional ballads, and exactly three minutes of pretending to leave before they come back for the big song. It’s a dance. We all know it.
