In addition to his touring news, White took to social media to engage with fans who have expressed a desire for longer show durations. He addressed this concern candidly, stating, “Been hearing a lot of chatter throughout the year of this glorious electric touring about how long our sets are ‘supposed to be’ on stage.” He emphasized that the length of a performance does not dictate its quality, pointing out that live music should be about the experience rather than arbitrary time constraints.

“Whether it’s 20 minutes or two hours,” he continued, “I’m giving the room what the room is prompting me to do and share. That doesn’t mean if people cheer louder it’s going to lead to a longer show!” This perspective highlights White’s commitment to delivering authentic performances that resonate with his audience rather than conforming to expectations.
