* An episode of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' features a more low-key version, where the [[Monster of the Week]] is revealed to have been taking part in the school's talent night, and the final fight takes place just before it opens.

* [[Married... with Children]]. Target: the new scoreboard that was supposed to be dedicated to Al, and which Marcy managed to get renamed for Terry Bradshaw. Bud and Jefferson blew it up (and Al) at the designated signal (a cymbal crash); unfortunately, Mr. Bradshaw had already arranged for it to be named for Al again.
* In the [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[Chuck]]'', the [[Big Bad]] needs to steal something from [[Reasonable Authority Figure|General Beckman]], who is at a packed concert hall to see an orchestra perform. To keep Beckman from following, he plants [[Incredibly Obvious Bomb|a sound-and-pressure-sensitive bomb]] under her chair that will blow up if she stands and will blow up when the performance finishes. The heroes arrive, [[Race Against the Clock|but they need more time to disarm the bomb]] and the orchestra are moments from finishing.

* Jason Biggs sweeps Allyson Hannigan off her feet during her flute solo in ''[[American Pie]] 2''
{{quote| Fan: "Let's hear it for Petey!"}}
* ''[[Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist]]'' {{spoiler|subverts it since the title characters reach the secret concert every hipster in NYC has been looking for at the end, but leave just as it (the concert) starts}}.
* Johnny Cash interrupts ''his own'' concert to propose to June Carter on stage in ''[[Walk the Line]]''. Which is actually how he did it.
