Default The length/duration of a Bon Jovi gig? (UK)
Hello there, I ran a search before and also checked the FAQ's but had no luck so what I have to ask you is this. How long does a Bon Jovi gig normally last?. I'm going with my girlfriend to the gig in Manchester on June 22nd and I'm looking forward to it. I just need to plan my travel arrangements. The show starts at 4.30pm. What time would expect Bon Jovi to have finished their set by?. Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a noob type of a question!

Aloha !

A Bon Jovi show lasts 2 hours to 2 hours and 40 minutes. Manchester will probably get 2,5 hours but the show finishes at 10 o' clock in the UK anyway because of the curfew there.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Bon Jovi will probably come on at about 7:30/8 and be finished by 10:30ish-11ish , well that's what i'd say (and expect )

I remember Hyde Park 2003 starting at exactly 7:30 and it was supposed to be finished at 10 and other shows in the UK were also finished at 10 o clock if I remember correctly.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

Thanks very much to all who have posted and replied to my question. There's a coach that leaves Manchester just before midnight which is perfect as the stadium in Manchester isn't that far from the coach station. So great news!. Thanks again for all your help, take it easy

I remember them finishing at about 10:30-10:45 at most shows I have seen in the UK.

Judge it by what time they come on stage. If they come on at anything after 8:30 then you are in for a short set list, if they are on at 8:00 then a longer set is a possiblity.

I believe there is no real support band at Southampton, apart from a local band, will this mean the band come on earlier and give more??? Who knows, we will have to wait and see.

Manchester and London seem to get good shows so I think you will have a great time.

The shows in the UK all tend to end between 10:30pm-11pm roughly, give or take a bit depending on venue/curfews
