There's no set convention - it depends on the band and the occasion. Some bands don't introduce the individual members at all (HTT usually doesn't on the TV show - only the name of the band; Yui only intros them individually in their last concert of the series, and then she forgets herself). Sometimes they're scattered throughout the show (Def Leppard does this on their 1989 concert video). Joe Satriani usually introduces his backing band a couple of times, once near the beginning of the show and again toward the end. On Big Country's Final Fling DVD, Stuart doesn't introduce the others until near the end and never mentions the band's name, because he figures they all know what band they came to see (and it's in the lyrics to the song they're in the middle of at that point anyway).

In this case, five songs into the planned 20-song show was the first time they actually stopped playing long enough for Yui to do it, which is not that unusual for bands that do a lot of up-tempo stuff.
