Is Björk typically on-time or late to her shows?

Question

This is my first time getting to see her live after a few years of just missing shows here and there, and was just wondering for those veteran concertgoers: how late does she tend to be to her shows?

never late in my experience. no live show has ever started on the dot though like if it's listed to start at 10pm, no one is going to hit center stage at exactly 10pm. but generally within 10min of start time, the show will start. but that's standard for any live show from any artist, really

just be grateful there's no opening act. having to sit through a whole fucking hour of bonnie prince billy really tested my love for her as a fan

oh yeah ive worked in live production so i know that nothing starts right on the dot so my idea of on-time is like within 20 minutes of listed showtime hahaha

omg same. I love that serpentwithfeet is performing with her not before as, I love his music, but I really want to get to her. Plus their Blissing Me duet is gorgeous so I'd rather hear interesting duets.

Serpentwithfeet is opening the California shows. Björk posted this 6 days ago on IG.

I don't remember her ever being late...

Grace Jones on the other hand . . . I have heard crazy stories about her. . . she is notorious for showing up like 2 hours late to her own concerts.

Lauryn Hill is another artist who is notoriously late. the miseducation is one of my all time favourite albums and I would never ever pay money to see her live because of her notorious lateness

I saw a video on youtube where Grace was over 2 hrs late for a book signing and all those poor people just waited and waited. Bad form.

Now THAT I am aware of hahaha But for some reason, even before knowing her habit, I had anticipated that before going to her show lol

She was very on time at the The Shed NYC shows.

I don't think she has an issue with being late. This is a grievance I don't hear much about our B.

I remember she was pretty on time last time I saw her. I know that the venue I’ll be out, doors open at 6:30. I plan on being there close to that time as the traffic and lines get crazy closer to the show
