When does Thievery Corporation take the stage?

I'll be seeing Thievery Corporation at the House of Blues in Boston next Wednesday. The show starts at 7:00pm. Has anyone seen them recently? What time do they actually go on stage?

Call the venue. They have a schedule of when they expect the opening and main acts to be onstage, and they'll tell you. Thievery Corporation aren't some petulant, hotel-room-trashing arena rock stars who are going to be absurdly late to the stage since they were boozing it up and getting it on with groupies. (And if the venue can't get it right, there's no way we can get it right.)

Yeah, seconding Tapas that this is as much a function of the venue as the band. (HOB is pretty corporate and id be surprised if they didnt run a tight ship with scheduling).

Incidentally, saw them at Red Rocks this summer and it was awesome (i have no recollection of their timeliness).

On the HoB site it says doors 7, show 8. I would assume a bit after 8 unless there's an opening act that's not listed.

Ditto for general concerts at that venue. BTW, if you haven't been there before, you may want to double check the allowed items list - they had a couple drug overdoses in the past year and are Not Joking about banned items.
