How long will Kehlani concert last?

The length of a Kehlani concert can vary depending on the venue, city, and tour. However, her shows typically last around 1.5-2 hours on average. This includes Kehlani performing around 20-25 songs with costume changes and some banter with the audience in between. Some key factors that affect the concert length include:

Number of Opening Acts

Most of Kehlani’s headlining shows have 1-2 opening acts or guest performers which take up time before she hits the stage. The more opening acts there are, the longer the total concert event will be. With 2 openers, the show may run closer to 2.5-3 hours total.

Tour Type

Headlining tours where Kehlani is the main act tend to be longer shows than festivals or collaborative tours with other artists. Her own headlining tours allow for a full theatrical production and setlist curated by Kehlani.

City Size and Venue

Larger city venues and arenas accommodate bigger productions and stage sets. Smaller clubs or theaters in some cities may necessitate a slightly shortened setlist. Outdoor festivals and amphitheaters also limit how long the performers can be on stage.

Typical Setlist Length

Kehlani’s sets are usually around 75-90 minutes of performance time. This allows for 20-25 songs off her 2 studio albums, mixtapes, and newer releases. She has a catalog of over 75 original songs to choose from.

Here is a typical 20 song setlist length breakdown:

This adds up to around 1 hour 15 minutes of just Kehlani’s performance. The additional 30-45 minutes are from costume changes, set transitions, and audience chat interludes between songs.

Opening Acts Duration

Most concerts have 1 or 2 opening acts to get the crowd warmed up and build anticipation for the headliner. Kehlani’s openers are typically newer R&B or hip-hop artists who perform 30-45 minute sets.

Having 2 openers can add up to around 1 hour of additional performance time before Kehlani hits the main stage. Some of Kehlani’s past openers have included:

• Rico Nasty
• Destin Conrad
• Kari Faux
• dekko
• Ambré

1 Opener

– Opener performs 30-45 min set
– 15 minute set changeover
– 75-90 min Kehlani headlining set

**Total Concert Length: Around 2 hours**

2 Openers

– Opener 1 performs 30 min set
– Opener 2 performs 30 min set
– 15 minute set changeover
– 75-90 min Kehlani headlining set

**Total Concert Length: Around 2.5 hours**

So with at least 1 opening act, most Kehlani concerts run for a minimum of 2 hours up to 2.5 or 3 hours max.

Factors that Shorten/Lengthen the Show

While Kehlani’s own set aims for 75-90 minutes, there are some variables that can shorten or extend the total show length:

Technical Difficulties

Technical issues with sound, lighting, or stage production can cause unplanned delays. These are uncommon but can cut into the performance times if they occur.

Crowd Size and Engagement

Bigger crowds and enthusiastic audiences motivate Kehlani to take her performances “up a notch”. She may add extra songs or medleys if the crowd is highly engaged. Smaller or calmer crowds can potentially lead to a slightly shortened show.

Venue Curfews

Outdoor venues and festivals often have strict curfews on how late the concert can run. If delays occur, subsequent acts may have their sets shortened.

Encores

If the crowd demands an encore, Kehlani may perform 1-2 extra songs after the setlist is complete. This can add 5-10 minutes to the backend of the show.

Set Times of Evening Concerts

For Kehlani’s concerts that start in the evening, the set times usually follow this approximate schedule:

Of course, these times are approximate and vary by each show. Evening concerts are usually scheduled to end by 11PM at the latest due to venue curfews.

Set Times of Festival Shows

For music festivals, Kehlani may perform shorter 60-75 minute sets. Festivals havequicker turnover between artists on different stages. Here are typical festival set times:

Festivals usually provide the set times a few weeks in advance of each day. The actual set length varies depending on how many songs are performed and if Kehlani takes breaks to talk with the crowd. 60 minutes allows for a 15-17 song condensed version of her show.

Typical Songs in Setlist

While Kehlani changes up her setlist order at every show, she does tend to perform these fan-favorite tracks regularly:

• “CRZY”
• “Distraction”
• “Nights Like This”
• “Gangsta”
• “Personal”
• “Nunya”
• “Hate The Club”
• “Up At Night”
• “Can I”

She balances out the set with a mix of high energy dance songs, mid-tempo R&B tracks, and some of her slower ballads. The singles from her newest album at the time are also highlighted.

Cover Songs

Kehlani often throws 1-2 cover songs into her sets such as:

• “Say My Name” (Destiny’s Child)
• “Sweetest Taboo” (Sade)
• “Fire and Desire” (Rick James)
• “Killing Me Softly” (Fugees)

Cover songs allow her to showcase her vocals and range as an R&B artist.

Concert Special Guests

There’s a chance some shows may feature guest appearances from Kehlani’s musical collaborators. In the past, artists like 6lack, Dom Kennedy, Keyshia Cole, and Ty Dolla $ign have joined her on stage at certain venues.

Having a special guest can extend the show 10-15 minutes if they perform a collab song together. But guest artists are not guaranteed, so the set length may not change drastically.

Conclusion

To estimate how long a Kehlani concert may last:

• Plan for her set to be around 75-90 minutes with 20-25 songs
• Add 30-60 minutes for 1-2 opening acts
• Total concert length averages 2-2.5 hours

Venue curfews, technical issues, or encores may shorten or extend some shows slightly. But most Kehlani fans can expect an energetic performance from her lasting between 1.5 to 3 hours including openers and her full theatrical production. She aims to put on an R&B show that gives the crowd their money’s worth!
