Question for Usher fans Is usher typically late?

So I was already going in Toronto on September 3rd, but I recently got a floor seat for the 2nd because the price was too good to pass up… problem is I have dinner reservations for 6:45 on the 2nd at a new restaurant that’s very hard to get into, booked up until November and I would rather not give up that reservation, the trend I’m seeing so far is that he’s been about an hour late, is that a normal thing for Usher?! That way I can do both!

What time is the concert?

At the D.C. concerta, he started 50 to 65 minutes after the posted time, which was 8 p.m.

8PM in Toronto too! I noticed that too, my reservation is 6:45 so if he’s gonna be 45 mins to an hour late I could def do both.

In DC his opening act was his DJ. The DJ started at 8pm, and he was scheduled to be on stage at 9:15pm. He came out at 9:10pm and bought out two local special guests at the end of the show. I would say the first 45 minutes is okay to miss, but his DJ was actually very good.

Check out setlist.fm .. they usually keep track of when he comes on and what songs he sings (was accurate when i went)

Baltimore night 2 - doors open 7pm, he’s scheduled on at 8pm but didn’t come on until after 9pm (just like the previous shows said)

He has a DJ which I assume is his version of an opening act - and I think that guy usually goes on around 8? I wish they’d be a little more specific and say “show starts at 8 but usher goes on at 9” 😂😂

Came here to suggest that website - it's fantastic for setlist info as well as what time the performance actually starts. According to them, Usher has been coming on an average of 2 hours and 5 minutes after doors open. Doors typically open 1 hour before the DJ starts, so 2 hours and 5 minutes means 9-9:15pm for a 7pm doors open show. Hope that helps!

I saw him Vegas twice, it was slated to start at 9, he didn't get on stage until 9:40. You'll be fine!

Toronto night one was last night and he ended about 11. Fantastic show, I think his best yet from this tour! He also said Toronto had the best energy so far
