So the opener was Neck Deep and at the show I attended he played over an hour. There were tons of Wayne fans and (at least around me) they seemed to know his real songs, not just Lollipop and Got Money and the commercial stuff.
That said, even though it's technically a coheadline, it was super weird that he didn't play last and that Blink played longer. It did make it feel like he was just along for the ride and he kept saying weird stuff that made me sad like, "I don't know if you know about mixtapes but...". The fact that Blink's portion was branded a 20th anniversary tour, while Wayne's was not really branded as anything, made it seem like he was really at a disadvantage....wish Wayne would've had something comparable like "celebrating the long awaited 5th installment of the Carter series" or something that put him on semi equal footing...but either way, this whole thing is kind of a cluster so regardless...
Wayne and Blink also have totally different equipment and stage setup so it would probably not have been logistically feasible for them to alternate songs, in addition to the flow issue...
I really wish he was doing his own tour.
Lots of Wayne fans myself included either did not stay for Blink or did not stay long once Wayne was done. At my location though I did get the sense that overall there were more Blink fans even though there was great crowd participation for Wayne's set
