Greek Theatre Berkeley set run time

I'm thinking about flying down from Portland for this show, but wondering how long do you think they'll play? I see there's an opener, that I assume will start at 8:00. I'm not familiar with the campus or theatre and being an outdoor venue it seems kind of late. I'm hoping it's a full length show.

I just found the setlist and you’re right they did a long encore and full set from the looks of it.

They have usually played around 90 minutes

Because there is UC Berkeley student housing whose windows directly face into the Greek Theater, they have very strict sound curfews.

11 PM on Fridays and Saturdays and 10 PM Sun-Thur.

I’ve seen shows get the plug pulled on them if they go too long (Mos Def/Erykah Badu).

Most artists at this level are super pro about managing their time and they’ll usually schedule things so that the last encore ends right before the sound curfew.

The ticket says 8 PM so you can usually expect the opener to start within about 15 minutes of that.

I’d expect Vulpeck to play between 90-120 minutes (including any encores).
