The Kevin Gates concert was a complete ____show in Brandon last night.
Social media posts
I have paid to see several artists perform concerts over the years, including three concerts this year, and I have to say that last night was one of my worst experiences. We sat there for three hours waiting for Kevin Gates to start the show. It should’ve started at 8pm, but he didn’t get on the Brandon Amphitheater stage until 10:47pm. No one ever came onstage to explain the reason for the delay; they just kept having people come out and “sing,” and that also sucked. Once Kevin did get onstage, he performed about four songs in seven minutes. He was rushing to get those songs done because I heard there’s a noise ordinance after 11pm and fines the artist would have to pay. After paying money to see him perform, I was disappointed that he was rushing to finish. Finally, I got up and left, like many other people did. It’s a shame how everyone, including me and the person on my second ticket, was disrespected.
Me and the head guy at Live Nation’s Mississippi / Alabama office had a very colorful conversation about Rap concerts at the Brandon Amphitheater after my post about the Lil Wayne show starting late and the opening act no-showing went viral. He took exception to me calling it a “Sh!t show” and suggesting that the unreliability or unpredictability of hip-hop artist was why they hadn’t done hardly any rap shows at the Amphitheater (he argued that T-Pain was rap, I disagreed). Anyway after last nights Kevin Gates Sh!t show, I wonder if we’ve seen our last rap show at the Amphitheater? According to social media post from concert attendees he was after midnight showing up and only performed for about 20 minutes. We brought Kevin to one of my clubs in 2014, did 2,300 people on a Wednesday night and had zero problems so I’m surprised they had these issues with him. Some unconfirmed rumors out there about him being in a wreck but you’d think if that were true they’d have made a point to tell people so they could justify the delay. Sometimes you just have a bad night, and it devolves into a sh!t show, unfortunately it’s happened to plenty events I’ve been a part of over the years because there’s a lot of moving parts to pulling a big event off without any major issues.(Clay Edwards)
just to show how much everyone’s not exaggerating at allš« was there for almost 5 hours and he only performed for 40 min. Brandon Amphitheater & Kevin Gates i’m gonna either need a refund or a redo bc this is crazy. Kevin Gates, I’m highly disappointed in last night show that was horrible. We waited all that time in the cold. You never apologize not once for being late to your own show or gave us a reason of why in the show you put on for what 20 minutes after we waited 3 1/2 hours that was sorry and pathetic. We should all get refunded. I’m so glad I saw you years ago when you actually performed and did a great job and appreciated and respected your fans.
