Well, I *am* old enough to report with accuracy that it's a long standing 'club' tradition. I recall being in my 20s during the music explosion (punk/whatever) in the late 70s/80s and having the same complaints. Headliners never hit the stage before midnight and sometimes well after - lots of midweek shows, too.
These days that can easily be pushed into what is now my 'up for work' time of 3-4am. I just can't do it and don't even try anymore (but I used to).
I'll see Massive Attack next month because it starts at 8pm - even that will find me dragging a$$ for a few days.
