Here’s where it gets tricky. Rod doesn’t usually travel alone. There’s almost always an opening act. That person is lovely, talented, and trying their very best. But you didn’t pay $150 to see them, did you? No. You paid to see the man with the hair that defies gravity and time.
So, add at least 45 minutes to an hour to whatever time the doors open. If the doors open at 7:00 PM, the opener might hit the stage at 7:30 or 8:00. Rod will probably waltz in around 9:00 PM. He’s a star. Stars need to be fashionably late. And also, he probably needs to gel his hair. That mop doesn’t style itself, people.
What About TV Specials? (The “Where’s the Remote?” Crisis)
Ah, the classic dilemma. You hear Rod is doing a BBC special or a PBS pledge drive. You think, “I’ll just check the guide.” But the guide is lying. The guide is always lying. Your best bet is to search on Twitter or the network’s app for the exact air time.

And here’s a little secret: Rod Stewart TV specials are like unicorns. They appear suddenly, make you feel all the feels, and then vanish into the streaming void. If you see one listed, set three alarms. Do not trust your memory. You are not a teenager anymore; your brain has limited storage space, and it’s mostly filled with grocery lists and song lyrics from 1985.
