Sorry, if it makes her sound like a bitch but I work in this industry and the owners of the venues will do all sorts of crap to try and cut corners. This is even when the contract with the Artist is very precise and clearly defines the conditions which are acceptable. The reason Artists balk is because if they start accepting non-contractually valid conditions then pretty soon the venue won’t even turn on the A/C until the audience comes in.
Trust me when I say the people who set up these shows are working in 30+ (centigrade) temperatures and no one complains, (except the workers, of course). I don’t have any pity for the management.
Remember, this is the Management’s fault, and not the Artist’s fault. If you want to scream at someone, then blame the venue management. They know how long it takes to cool their venue.
