So, there I was, scrolling through my phone, trying to decide between a pair of boots that were 'on sale' but still cost more than my monthly Netflix subscription. Suddenly, my friend's voice cuts through the noise, "Hey, have you seen what time Tom Odell is coming on stage?" I blinked, boots forgotten, and realized I had no clue. I mean, I knew the concert was tonight, but the exact timing? That was a mystery wrapped in an enigma, dancing in the rain.
You'd think in this day and age, with tickets being digital and everything, we'd get a little reminder. But no, it's still a guessing game. "Let's find out," I said, and thus began our little adventure into the world of concert timings.
First Stop: The Official Website
Our first port of call was the official Tom Odell website. Now, I've got to hand it to them, it's a slick site. Lots of pretty pictures, latest news, and even a section dedicated to fan art. But do you think they had the stage timings? Nope. I mean, come on, guys. We're here, we're ready to spend money on merch and overpriced drinks, just tell us when to show up.
Must Read
I clicked on the 'Contact' page, half-expecting to find a phone number for a guy named 'Tom' who'd be more than happy to chat about set times. But no, it was just an email form. I filled it out, asking nicely for the timings, and hit send. I'm not holding my breath.
Next Up: Social Media
Alright, so the official website was a bust. Time to turn to the tried and true method of finding out anything these days - social media. I started with Tom's Instagram. Lots of pictures of him looking moody and artistic, but no timings. I checked Twitter, Facebook, even TikTok (yes, I went there). Nothing.
I did, however, find a lot of people asking the same question. Seems like we're all in the dark here. I joined the chorus, tweeting out a polite plea for information. I got a couple of responses from fans saying they'd heard he was on at 9, but nothing official.
Finally: The Venue's Website
By this point, I was starting to feel like a detective in a cheesy '80s movie, following a trail of breadcrumbs that led nowhere. But then, I remembered the venue's website. It was a long shot, but it was worth a try.

And there it was, in black and white. The stage timings. Tom Odell was due on stage at 9:30 PM. I let out a whoop, and my friend high-fived me. We'd done it. We'd cracked the case. I mean, we'd found out the stage timings.
So, What's the Moral of the Story?
Alright, so maybe I made a bit of a drama out of this. But seriously, why is it so hard to find out when an artist is going on stage? It's not like we're asking for their phone number or something. I get that they want to keep us in suspense, but come on, guys. We've got lives, you know? We need to plan our pre-concert dinner.
Anyway, if you're reading this and you're planning to see Tom Odell (or any artist, really), my advice? Check the venue's website. If that fails, start sleuthing. And if all else fails, show up early and enjoy the opening act. They deserve your attention too.
And if you see me at the concert, say hi. I'll be the one with the overpriced drink, waiting patiently for 9:30 PM.
