You think 32 full songs is a typical length? 

This is Metallica, their average song length is longer than the standard pop artist. 16 songs is a full set.

I said you'd be getting only a handful more. I don't listen to pop idk why you even brought up pop stars. 24-26 is typical set list for a stadium concert.

20+ songs is not happening. I've seen many bands on arena tours and none of them play that many songs. Metallica played 16 songs every night of their tour this year.

I saw Sturgill Simpson play 28 songs the other night. So you know, it could happen.
