I'm going to a concert tomorrow...?

Question

It starts at 7, but the doors open at 5:30. The main band is Paramore, but before them there's 3 other bands playing. Does that mean the first band will start playing at 5:30? Or does the first band go on at 7:00?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

The first band starts at 7.  

Answer 2

the doors always open early to give everyone time to get there. if they opened the gate when the concert started, there would be a stampede! the first band starts at 7.
