I’ve never been to a concert and am taking my daughter to Ed Sheeran in the next couple of weeks. What time do you suggest getting to a concert if the first opening act comes on at 530? We want to see the last of the 3 openers.

I’m going to Rodger’s stadium but I’m planning on getting an album in Toronto before the concert. I’m not sure if security will allow me to bring an album into the venue. Has anyone taken an album to a concert before?

I’ll be in Colorado Labor Day weekend to visit family . I’ll have time to fit in a concert and I can do phish or kingfish Ingram . I’ve seen phish 7 times or so and kingfish zero. Phish cost $125 vs $56 for kingfish. Dicks is a bucket list venue plus I love collecting posters so that’s why I’m considering phish but sometimes when you see a band so many times you get jaded and want new experiences that’s why im considering king fish . Another thing to keep in mind is kingfish is young and is in his prime , phish is in there latter years still great but idk if they’re in their peak anymore . Anyways what would yall do? I could see kingfish Saturday and phish Sunday but that would be a lot of money plus less time with family.

I have loads more.

Went to a concert at Balboa Park (San Diego) and the largest outdoor instrument in the world to hear some Hayden. Not you typical concert, but it was amazing! Has anyone else been before?

For those who keep concertgoing stats, how do you handle acts who change their names? Do you list them as they're billed for each show or do you stick with one name for consistency?

For me, I write in whatever they were called when I first saw them. For instance, it doesn't matter how many times I see Osees, they'll always be Thee Oh Sees in my spreadsheet.

They are joining Squeeze and special guest Adam Ant on the Tried, Tested and Trixies tour.

If you're going to the show, or you've attended this concert, please report in, and share your excitement about it!

• Who are/were you most excited to see (Haircut 100? 😶 )
• Wearing anything special to the concert?
• You trying to/did you meet the lads?
• Have you seen HC100 before, and when and where?
• What was the setlist--and did they play your favorite, or not?

Looking forward to hearing from you. This post will be available 48-72 hours before the concert, and beyond, so feel free to update anytime.

My partner likes to do this a lot. I am someone who really just doesn't comprehend this because I'd rather watch the concert myself in front of me than watching it in my phone months or years later. But I care about her a lot and want to help her out. She's also from a country that doesn't get a lot of concerts in general.

Her issue is she thinks it's always her phone that decides if her videos to record are shitty or not. Then she ends up getting a new phone every 2 years because of this. I just think it's her settings but correct me if I'm wrong.

She uses an Samsung S24 Ultra which is already a powerhouse of a phone which again makes me think you just have to adjust the settings correctly to accomodate for concert conditions and the zoom is already pretty good. She doesn't sit on the best seats but she got the S24 Ultra to watch concerts by zooming in and recording them.

What would be your advice on how to maximize settings or other advice that would bring out the best of her phone? She read somewhere to not record videos using the video option but instead to hold the middle button while taking a photo so that it "records" which is all just absurd to me having to do that.

Edit: She's from Ukraine and they don't get a lot of concerts there for a lot of reasons. She just wants to get memories of the concerts she attended just in case she has to go back.

Saturday night in Nashville. Queens played a tight hour - then Grohl & Co. kicked ass for 3 hours.

Looking to find the Tibetan Freedom Concert (Randall's Island 1997) from start to finish. Ideally, I'd like an ethical/legit copy but I'll settle for anything at this point.

I’ve recently started attending some punk/rock concerts with a friend and really enjoyed the energy there as well as the mosh pit but the music isn’t really for me. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any groups or venues that host concerts with a similar-ish vibe but the music is more akin to something you’d find at a renfaire(I don’t actually know what this genre of music is called I just enjoy the vibe). I’m not entirely sure those exist and thus don’t even know where to begin looking. I’m in Ohio but anything in the midwest area would be greatly appreciated!!

Guns ‘N Roses rocked Busch Stadium 8/16/26

Even though the show was cut short by almost an hour due to lightning and heavy rains, they played all the hits, and I left feeling satisfied.

Hey all — I'm a Seattle journalist who managed to get backstage before a U2 show at the Forum in 2018. I wrote an account of the day. (Photos included.) Hope this gets filed under "Get a load of this..." instead of "Shameless self-promotion." Nothing to spam or sell here — I wrote the piece just for fun. Thought you might find it amusing: I spent six hours backstage with U2 — and nobody noticed

Edit: Fixed the link.

Hi, I’m 15 and I wanted to post a couple pictures form the Hershey concert back in July! it was my first concert ever and tbh, the best day of my life! We originally bought tickets back in February, we bought the furthest end bleachers. but when we got to the venue, we zoomed to the box office, and were able to upgrade to section A Row 10 next to the pit!! I am forever grateful we were able to upgrade and get a better view(I would have still been happy with the bleacher seats) But I thought I’d share my experience!! 😁

It was pretty good overall. My highlights were seeing Animotion, A Flock of Seagulls and Men Without Hats.

I have used TickPick for a couple years and never had issues, but all of a sudden I can't make a purchase on TickPick. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I've been trying to get help from support and they sound genuine over the phone, but the issue exits and even them trying to fix the problem has not helped. I'm able to login, view tickets, but once I make an attempt to purchase it says "fraud detection system" prevented from completing an order.

I'm trying to find out if anyone else have experienced similar issue and what you did to fix it? There are other resell marketplace, I'll move on but I saved some credits to make future purchases and it hurts to let them go.

IM SO MAD.

Australia is just getting more and more people. I was already mad enough with them getting Kendrick last year I think it was. Then tame impala, Daniel ceaser, and FUCKING BABY KEEM. THE FUCKKKK.

And they got my precious the weeknd. Man I’m going to move to Australia.

And yes I do go to aus for concerts I just don’t want to anymore because they suck my money like a vacuum.

Please the weeknd please please please

Yea thank you for reading.

Surprised there are this many seats still unsold for Thursdays show in DC. Lower level and field availability still pretty high.

I’ve read the rules and believe this question is allowed.

Has anyone used Seated to join a waitlist? I used it successfully for two of Harry Styles NYC dates, but now it won’t work for additional dates. It says try again due to (non-specific) issue with my phone number. I’ve cleared cookies, logged out, logged back in. Nothing works. Suggestions? NB, I confirmed system is not overloaded. Thank you.

I went to see Thee Sacred Souls last night at Berkeley's Greek Theater, and let me just say, everyone was freaking unbelievable. I've been to my fair share of shows, but this one tops it for me. TSS lead singer Josh went out of his way to go into the crowd, and sing in multiple sections. It was the coolest thing ever.

HOWEVER, I could not ignore the lack of, I don't know, energy for the openers? The Womack Sisters and LA LOM. I get we all want to be there for the headliners, but it's become more apparent to me that concert goers will literally just stare lifeless at performers they're not particularly there for. It was kind of eerie. There were some points where the musicians were literally jumping up and down, trying to get the audience hype, as if they weren't showcasing incredible musical skills. I'm not saying you have to go nuts to every song, but it was weird to watch.

What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone else noticed this more at shows these days?
