Beliebers are a little mad at Justin Bieber tonight.
The singer, who said he planned to "chill with friends" before his London shows this week, may have been chilling longer than he should have, after arriving to his concert—the first of his Believe tour—at the O2 Arena tonight nearly two hours late.
Biebs has yet to address why he was tardy for the party (we know he was having a "good day" leading up to it), but fans didn't waste any time expressing their frustration at the delay or a desire for a refund.
"I was at the concert and he [Bieber] came out at 10:15 p.m. and Carly Rae Jepsen finished her set at 9:10 p.m.. Justin should have been out at 9:30," concertgoer Sophia Lee exclusively told E! News. "Everyone was kept waiting not knowing anything. All they did was kept playing Michael Jackson songs. All the fans were getting so annoyed at around 9:50 p.m., fans started booing."
According to the tickets, J.B. was scheduled to appear at 8:30 p.m.
Since many of Bieber's fans are younger teenagers, a number of them left early because it was a school night, while others had to jet before the singer even took the stage in order to catch the train.
Justin takes to Instagram to sound off about worst birthday ever
"I stayed! But many people left early as the last underground train was at 12 a.m., so people needed to get home," Lee continued. "He didn't even apologize. That's what makes it worse...My mom paid for five tickets so she's not happy."
The Arena's posted via Twitter, "Justin Bieber is now on stage and apologises for the lateness of his show," and added, "Sorry to all the Justin Bieber fans for the lateness of his show tonight. The Tube will still be running when the show finishes."
Bieber's camp has yet to comment.

Justin Bieber Booed by Fans After Arriving Late to London Concert

....and so it begins
Like they kept the face outline the same and just smooshed everything else upwards.

dont drop 'em dear
what swag
i cannot at how much ontd hates him
basically, they find everything to be pressed
Best concert I've ever been to tbh
on a hunnid thousand trillionson?Gaga - 45 minutes
Mariah - 1h15m
Black Eyed Peas - 30 minutes
Kylie Minogue - 20 minutes (bless her)
Rihanna - 40 minutes
I've seen a lot more, but those stuck out in my mind
Muse was on time both times I saw them.
Marina was also on time.
paul mccartney was only 10 minutes late, i was really impressed.
Recently, I've been watching K-pop concerts that come to my country and they are so ridiculously on time. When they say 7pm, they really mean it! It's amazing.
britney - was on time tbh
opener
like forty five minute break
*You Shook Me All Night* plays
opening song
so I don't really think she's ever been late??? but ugh that forty five minute break is PURE TORTURE
for me..
MIA- over an hour (and then gave a bad performance and was a little diva bitch afterwards on top of it)
I do think smaller shows, like House of Blues type venues, tend to run really late. Which works for me, because I'm usually running an hour or so late for those myself. And those have a lot more bar selection to pass the time, so eh - whatevs.
But if I was a mom stuck at a Justin Bieber concert waiting (sober) for hours - my fury would have no end.
no opener
no seats
just standing for two hours while some songs played through the speakers
To their defense Alice had a cast on her leg but it obvs didn't happen that day so I've no idea what they'd been doing backstage, she also drank a bottle of jack so they weren't waiting for her painkillers to kick in either (in which case she would be laying on the floor drooling which she wasn't + the jack was real because she fucking spit some on me...). The show was fucking insane though, almost worth the long wait standing, being surrounded by 14 year old emo kids high on mdma.
However, I've seen the Smashing Pumpkins twice, who were never late and played encores as well. Amazing concerts. Same for the White Stripes too actually (years and years ago).
Britney- on time
My only two concerts ;_;
though when i went to see murderdolls we got a less than an hour set because jordison threw a fit and left the stage twice for some unknown reason (was probably too drunk or high tbh), wednesday brought him back the first time but no one ever came back the second.
Britney (Femme) On Time
Gaga 1 and half
Madonna 2 and half
muse were like 10 mins but no one was really bothered
i don't think there's anyone else tbh, no one that sticks out as being majorly late anyway
i can cope with anything less than 15 mins late but once it's over that then i get super annoyed
J.Cole
Tokyo Police Club/Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin
Childish Gambino
Imagine Dragons
Edit because I'd like to state that I've seen hundreds of live acts in big and small venues since I was 14/15. I will NEVER buy an overpriced Madonna ticket again.

actually, once she went on 45 min early because her main opening act (kelly pickler) got sick and couldn't perform and I was coming from several hours out of town and barely made it before she started the first song like legit 3 minutes before, I would have been pissed if I had been late because I had front row for that concert
I saw paramore and they were an hour and 1/2 late which was great because I was running way late too
i go to a lot of concerts and that's p typical.
I have irrationally hated her ever since lmao

Florence + the Machine - a little less than an hour
Panic! at the Disco - 40 minutes
Pretty unhappy about it too, for Gaga I was in the US so it was okay, but for Panic! I had to get a 35 pound taxi drive back to the train station and got on like 2 minutes before the last train left, and for Florence, even after leaving early I missed the train entirely and was stuck at Paddington overnight.
Gaga was about half an hour late at Big Weekend. She was being pretentious backstage, that's why she was late. That's what's so annoying. I'd been stood up for five straight hours trying to get near the front and my legs were rapidly going and I hadn't drank enough, so I fainted about 10 mins into her act. If she'd come on on time, I'd have actually got to see her set instead of being carried out by some very kind people.
No excuse for being late, bullshit.

After the breakdown that's about to happen.
Bieber's manager though was a grown man calling himself 'Scooter', so it's no wonder he's a douche.
