    I just looked at this in my own game, and I can't reproduce them "always" being there. From what I've seen, the NPCs will perform for about 3-5 Sim-hours and then leave, and then the spot becomes open for about 1-2 Sim-hours before a different NPC shows up, who also plays for about 3-5 hours. Can you let me know if you're perhaps not seeing the same? 

    And yeah like someone else mentioned, you can always socialize with the performer (just like a Friendly Introduction) to interrupt them, and then take over the Performance Space.

It's a similar case with the karaoke machines. NPCs will rabidly make a move for the machine when another finishes, the window to queue an interaction is quite short (since you need to decide which genre and then song). The easiest way is to pause as soon as an NPC finishes, which is inconvenient/unnecessary.

My Sim was actually tipped just playing in the open street. Seems you don't need the object.

I don't think this is a bug tbh but tagging @SimGuruNick @IrishMadCat_EA for more insight

      @SimGuruNick

      So what about the object not being draggable to the inventory ? Is that on purpose ?

        Not sure. I'll file a report on it and find out. 🙂
