apparently she didn't get on stage till near 10 and the curfew was 10:30… and it was raining

drama tweeters criticising people for saying she was late saying they are not real fans etc etc
some people blaming the rain for delays but another said her jet didn't land till 9:36…

why can't you edit OPs?
Live beside MC, from the sounds of it it seemed to start about 9.50 and finish at 10.50 with some fireworks.
What do people expect? She has a history of cancelled gigs and showing up late.
At some point punters need to stop being taken for mugs and giving these performers constant money and acclaim.
You pay for these gigs months on advance and she couldn't be bothered to turn up on time.
as I said on here when gigs were announced (and got jumped on for)- she is a trash human- and she proved it
Yeah, what else do people expect from her. But I guess people buy tickets for an act like this, and don't bother looking up what her history is like.
Setlist says she played 22 songs - Doesn’t sound bad compared to other gigs she does
The set and production design look huge - a lot of money thrown at this. Very weird as a consequence as to why she'd be so late.
Sounds like an abomination of a concert.
Looking on social media she also had 5 costume changes within that hour and also had a spat with her DJ and left the stage for that too
Evaluating any concert by the amount of songs played is the worst metric as it's meaningless in isolation.
I wonder will punters get a refund? Published stage time 830pm didn't appear til 950pm?
I remember when this happened years ago with Guns N' Roses nobody got a cent.
why so?
Worked all these gigs and malahide and 3 arena. I thought take that were bad coming on at 9:15 but we have a new winner. Last one today thankfully but some difference between Pearl Jam and some of the artists. Even Foo fighters in the UK.
Sound quality could be shite. They could be songs nobody cares to hear. The band could come on stage really late. The lineup could be missing important band members. The list is endless really.
I was literally only referencing the amount of songs she played though. Not evaluating.. just made a note about the amount of songs
My bad, apologies then, I inferred that you were equating the value and quality of the gig to the number of songs played.
must say I hate when these international artists do a “one size fits all” show - at any stage did she acknowledge she was in Ireland?
Few lines as gaeilge, Maybe a few bars of Fields of Athenry or even that viral rap song the kids group in Limerick have released?
Was there an Ole Ole Ole chant and Nicki apologising for her delay and thanking the fans?
Has she been paid already?
If so that was a big mistake.
If the times of her flight posted above are correct, MCD ought to be ashamed of themselves allowing her to come on stage at that time, knowing all the punters would be getting ripped off. When it became clear to them that she hadn’t even left Vienna, a call should have gone into her management telling them not to bother, and refunds should have been given.
They chose to let her show up for an hour and pocket all the cash. It’s disgusting really. I presume it was at least €100 per ticket.
Most of the international acts have agents that demand payment IN FULL months before the concert is scheduled.
Had a look at her X page, all the comments full of praise.
Sounds like they are being filtered so we only see the positive ones.
Taylor Swift at least gave people what they paid for.
Under a hour show is bad imho considering the price and venue
I would agree. I think giving the cost I would expect at least an hour minimum. Been at some cracking short gigs (Idlewild always sticks out for me) probably just under an hour, but they were probably 20 euro.
Why would they do that? Punters have practically no come back. The concert took place after all.
As long as punters continue to buy up tickets for artists that have shown such scant regard for them then nothing will change.
Seems she only played half of each song.
Cool
Wasn’t aware
MCD should never have booked her, it sold terribly, announced far too late in the year, and she is a tramp.
No idea what they are at trying to stuff more concerts in last minute to an already packed schedule.
cause they have the stage and infrastructure built already so it’s a sunk cost. After she cancelled 3 arena in 2019 due to bad weather for her
Joe will be busy on the Liveline tomorrow.
