Hey that is a very cool photo Cosmin!
How does it feel to be on the vocals now and having nothing in your hands besides a mic? This has happened to us as well on a gig as opening act to Glenn Hughes. Everyone played more then they should so we ended up playing only 3 songs. We did give our best to rock the show and it was a very fun gig. Here is a pic from it : In this situations is best to stay cool and look at it from the bright side. It could have happened to any other band as well. Truth is the same people organize all the gigs so it is never good to enter into a confrontation as it can lead to some shut doors (yet it is already hard for "young" bands to make it). -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I know it's common practice for the opening acts to have the master level lower than the headliner, but not have it lowered during the set!
The time each opener got should have been more strictly enforced, usually it's specified in the contract isn't it? Was this a pay to play situation Cosmin? -------------------- My SoundCloud

I'm sorry about this bad experience mate. I have to say that these type of things also happens in Argentina. Shows organizers don't use to take care of the opening acts. This happened to my band once that we played on the beach, as the first bands started late and played more, they wanted us to play 3 songs. But we didn't... I think that we played around 6. One of the managers of the last band disconnected my pedal-board just before the last song was starting... I realized and connected it again.. We had travelled 6 hours to be there, we weren't going to play just 3 songs. It happened in 2009, here is a pic:
Another things that an organizer did us was to make us start playing when the people still wasn't entering to the place. We played the first the first minutes of the first songs for nobody... and then people could get into the venue. This is something that happens very often here. -------------------- My lessons

Congrats on the gig. It's a shame that this type of thing is so common.
