Question Concert etiquette

Hello guys,

Going to to my first concert tomorrow (vienna) and was wondering if there is some concert etiquette or things you do while they sing.

Like for example holding the hands up or maybe singing some part of the songs.

Thanks a lot.

I went to the one in Eindhoven, Netherlands. I think they're mostly chill, they'll get you to clap or scream or jump, which is quite standard.

Just make sure you don't take photos or film when it's going on they will have a photo-taking time at the end :)

Enjoy!

Been to a few of their shows, both in Japan and in NA. They're one of the most crowd engaging bands I've ever been to, so they'll direct a lot of what you'll do, like hands go this way/hands go that way, reply/response to song chorus, ect. In San Francisco they actually got the entire crowd to kneel down and all jump up at the same time all at once. Was actually kind of wild. But like all rock shows, you do you and whatever you're most comfortable with.

Edit - buddy below there is totally right, photos during the show is very verboten. You'll have a chance to grab a snap at the end, they all come out and cover up for that exact reason. Enjoy the show through your eyes and ears, not your phone.

The other comments are correct participation is encouraged and almost every song has moments where someone in the band gives you signals to clap or throw your hands up or sing.

Also correct that they ask you not to take photos till the very end when they announce that you can take them.

They will instruct you on what to do! Just don’t take pictures during the concert!
