If anyone has seen Janelle Monae on this tour could you tell me how many openers she has and what time she's been coming on? The ticketmaster page for her show here is pretty useless.

The openers for Chicago are Jidenna and Flyanna Boss, Nana Kwabena is listed as one too but I think he might be DJing? Idk about times.

Cool cool. Setlist.fm had her going on at 9:55 a few nights ago in Indy so I guess it would be similar tomorrow. I think I'm going to regret deciding to work till noon on Friday lol.
dumb question but with NYE shows, do they just play until midnight, do the countdown, then like one more song or?
it completely depends on the venue and what the event is. There's plenty of tuxedo shit around with champagne toasts. And there will be concerts with shows going to 3-4am probably. I haven't gone to UNO Lakefront Arena for any prior NYE shows, so I don't know how they do it there. I'd assume a countdown, balloon drop or whatever and then encore(s). But it's a state funded place instead of a private venue, so no telling if it's 11/12/1? Plenty of venues will go overnight, but arenas like that are liable to close as early as they can contractually.

Billy played the same arena last year on NYE and went from 9:05-1:25am jesus

Lol. That's going to be a show if we're getting 4 hours. Biggest fucking problem with 1:25am on NYE/NYD will be the absolute disaster of attempting to get any ride sharing for under an obscene amount of money. Limiting drinks and driving is a possibility or in the unlikely event one of my kids ends up not working (they all work in the music industry), I can bribe them to drive. Shit will get figured out and handled.
dumb question but with NYE shows, do they just play until midnight, do the countdown, then like one more song or?
this doesn't answer your question but it made me think of Phish vs. Widespread Panic NYE and how they handle(d) midnight.
phish always starts the third set just before midnight, play a song or two (or more) that leads into the countdown during the set, typically with some sort of "gag" that has gotten more and more elaborate over the years. then after the countdown Auld Lang Syne, then the rest of the set, wrapping up at like 1am-1:30am.
then there's Widespread Panic lmao. i saw NYE shows a few times in college. not sure if they've changed it up, but they always made the bizarre decision to not be on stage for the countdown. so the actual countdown would happen during setbreak. one year they brought out two wasted DJs from a local radio station to do the countdown, then when the band finally took the stage after midnight Schools did a little Auld Lang Syne tease on the bass, then play the third set. so underwhelming. the shows always rocked but never understood why they didn't take advantage of making the stroke of midnight a musical moment.
having said all that the last time I regretted seeing Phish over Panic was NYE 2009. Vic Chesnutt had died just days ago on Christmas, and they closed the encore with Protein Drink > Sewing Machine. wish i could've been there for that.
and i wore on onion on my belt, which was the style at the time, etc.

part of me really wants to try to swing this and Overmono, but I’d much prefer to see Overnono and I feel like my lack of familiarity with Chicago would somehow screw me over in trying to make it happen

If Overmono don't go on until midnight it could be doable if you take an uber from Aragon to Concord. Public transit at the time of night would take an hour.
cool snippet of the screens inside the sphere. this is going to be so cool.
edit: somebody in the comments said they are looking forward to Tool playing here, i cannot imagine.
Yeah there was some rumor that they have it booked when they announce their next leg which includes west coast shows they cant do because of Power Trip.
Olivia is going to sell $20 "Silver Star" tickets for her tour. Likely put on sale very close to each respective date. Taking a page from Coldplay and The Rolling Stones.
Olivia Rodrigo will be introducing Silver Star Tickets on her upcoming tour, making a limited number of $20 USD plus taxes and fees (or the local currency equivalent) tickets available at a later date. Olivia is launching this program to make it as easy and affordable as possible for her fans to make it out to her shows. Silver Star Tickets must be purchased in pairs with a limit of 2 per purchase. These seats will be located next to each other and the seat locations will be revealed the day of show when picked up at the venue box office

Many years ago, I saw Bruce and E Street on NYE. They started late and, if I recall correctly, played well past midnight.
More recently, I saw MMJ on NYE. They started late-ish, and then took a 30-60 min intermission, and came on again right before midnight, then played at least another half hour.

Billy last year did 3 sets for the actual NYE show, and for the third set started it just before midnight with a "Meet Me at the Creek", and it turned to midnight with a countdown to a balloon drop during the jam part of that song. Then he played for like 80 more minutes. Show was about 4 and a half hours long (including set breaks)

three and a half acres of screen?!
160,000 sq ft of screens, so like 3.67 acres. 1,600 HOLOPLOT X1 loudspeaker modules, which house multiple drivers for a total of 164,000 drivers. i think it's like every surface of the sphere is a screen and a speaker, basically.
