Has Gaga always started concerts late?

[LateToCult 40,896]

For the people who were lucky enough to attend her older concerts like the FBT, MBT, BTWB, or ArtRave, was she always late for them?

She was pretty late to my date of the JWT and I remember tons of people complaining throughout the tour about waiting as well. Has it always been like that?

I’ve been to Rihanna and Beyoncé concerts before and they were also late but their reasons were Travis Scott () and waiting for a Stadium to fill up. Was there a specific reason Gaga was late?

(Enigma doesn’t count because MGM keeps her in check and neither does CTCT because Tony had a curfew.)

I went to BTWB, artRave and JWT, and I have learnt not to expect her on time hahahah

My artRave was 20 min late due to a storm slowing down the security

My JWT was like 5 minutes late, so I consider it on time

I didn’t even know there were dates of the JWT that were on time.  

My show was like over an hour late.

At least you had the luck to attend the Joanne cancelled tour

After Enigma I waited for and rode the elevator in the MGM Grand with some women in their 60s or 70s and one complained loudly the whole time about it starting after 8 pm (20-30 minutes late IIRC - there were huge lines at all of the bars just before 8 pm so I'm sure the Park wanted to move through the lines and get that cash). She had nothing else to say about the performance we'd just witnessed.  Her friend loved the show though. Queen of all ages. 

Also shows starting late is annoying AF but not super atypical. These ladies probably don't go to a ton of shows. 20-30 minutes isn't enough for me to not enjoy a show especially from Gaga. If she were at Erykah Badu lateness though...

Ah, yes. I remember CancelGa struck you.

She isn't suppose to appear right at the time where it says on your ticket, that's like the earliest time for her. Even when she came in Romania in like 2012, the show started with like 15 minutes after the time on my ticket and that was not even late, a friend of mine who went to Rihanna's concert said that she got on stage with like an hour late and then her show lasted for just another hour where she was pretty bored too

Excuse me no. Gaga is never late. Other people just arrived early.

Every show I attended she was  but she has gotten better.

TMB 1.0 30~ mins late

TMB 2.0 30~ mins late

BTWB cancelled 

Artrave 20~ mins late

JWT 15~ mins late

[giskardsb 12,565]

she isn't generally that late.   30 minutes after posted start time is pretty typical in the concert industry ime.

She was over an hour late for my show and I was just wondering if that was the norm. Clearly not though. Anybody know why she was that late? My show was in Tacoma.

I’ll admit she did get better throughout that tour (I watch most shows livestreams). 

If you’re going to Enigma (I am Jun. 1) her first few shows during the leg like Dec 28, Dec 30, Jan 17, Jan 19 she’s later than usual but she gets better when she gets in the swing of things.
