Madonna Notoriously Starts Her Concerts Late, And Now One Angry Fan Is Suing

With the exception of reliable movie showtimes, live performances rarely start at the exact indicated time.

But a few minutes of delays are easily forgivable, especially for touring concerts due to the complex nature of setting up in every city.


But two hours past showtime is not cool, no matter who the headlining artist is.

Madonna is known for her perpetual tardiness. But when the iconic queen of pop recently changed her Miami concert from 8:30 p.m to 10:30 p.m., she pushed fans over the borderline.

Fans have long grumbled over Madge's disregard for punctuality, but now one fan has had enough.

Nate Hollander, who paid $1,024.95 for three tickets for the Madame X tour for the December 17 performance at the Miami Beach Fillmore, filed a class action suit in Miami-Dade County court.

The show was rescheduled for 2 and 1/2 hours later, which was too late for Hollander to attend. He also said the tickets' resale value tanked because of the later showtime.

Concert promoter Live Nation changed the tour's opening performance time and for subsequent shows, due to Madonna's consistently late appearances.

Because of Miami-Dade County's curfew laws, those who are under 18 years of age cannot be out in public without an adult past 11 p.m.

Now, unaccompanied teenagers who have been planning on seeing Madonna months in advance will be missing their chance.

Live Nation and Madonna have not offered refunds.

The singer's November 7 Las Vegas engagement was originally scheduled for 8:30 p.m. but actually did not start until 12:07 a.m.

Her nonplussed attitude was evident when she told her audience:

"There's something that you all need to understand, and that is, that a queen is never late."

Umm, but she was late.

While the audience cheered in exuberance over their highness, Twitter reactions to the posted video knocked her off her throne.




Ardent fans are finding her Madgesty hard to love.



Does she care about her fans being inconvenienced?


Those who are done with her are letting her know "The Power of Good-Bye."

Trump Ripped For Hypocrisy After Claiming He 'Doesn't Know' Who Crypto Founder He Just Pardoned Is

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed during a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O'Donnell that he doesn't know who Binance cryptocurrency exchange founder Changpeng Zhao is despite pardoning him less than two weeks ago.

In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violating anti–money laundering laws after Binance allegedly failed to report suspicious transactions involving groups such as Hamas and al-Qaida. He later apologized, paid a $50 million fine, and served nearly four months in prison before being pardoned by Trump.

Gavin Newsom Expertly Trolls Trump Administration With Parody Spirit Halloween Costume Memes

California Governor Gavin Newsom had social media users cackling after he, in a series of photos on X, mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with photoshopped meme versions of Spirit Halloween costumes.

Noem, who has led the nationwide immigration crackdown that continues to tear apart families around the country, is the "Border Barbie" of one meme that pokes fun at her for shooting her dog, her penchant for bringing camera crews wherever she goes, and the way South Park writers lampooned her in one of its most widely-seen episodes this year.
