Using the ticketed show start of 8:00 PM because no separate headliner set time is listed.
An estimated 115-minute show puts the main exit wave here.
Estimated
Pick the exit window that fits how you want the night to end.
Leave before the final songs if avoiding the first exit wave matters more than the full ending.
Low confidence
Best estimate for the main crowd release based on show pacing.
Low confidence
Wait for the concourse and rideshare surge to thin before leaving.
