When groups perform at concerts, the show’s duration is usually announced, or a schedule is given for the day. There are some variations in concert run time, but most run anywhere from an hour and 30 minutes to a little over two hours.
This helps fans schedule their day out and is done in a way that does not exhaust the members.
However, a popular boy group just blew the average out of the water with a concert nearly as long as a workday!
On April 12 and 13, the boy group INFINITE held the encore shows for their 15th anniversary tour. The April 13 show was scheduled to start at 4 PM and run for 150 minutes, or two and a half hours.
However, the group went well beyond this set time and performed a whopping 40 songs. The setlist and two encores included a range of songs, from their debut, “Come Back Again,” to their most recent comeback, “Dangerous.”

With the concert running for so much longer than anticipated — ending at around 9:17 instead of the scheduled 6:30 — fans shared that travel plans were altered to account for the change in concert length.
the shuttle bus for infinite was originally meant to leave at 8.40PM but bcs of encore they kept sending text messages with later times 😭 its even funnier cos 8.40PM meant they predicted a 4 hr show which is already longer than usual but ifnt did 5🤣 #인피니트 pic.twitter.com/0dyFCekdTM

Hilariously, some of the members did show a bit of tiredness as the show went on longer, something completely understandable in this case. Some fans expressed amazement in the efforts of the group who are all in their 30s.
