wrote 9 days ago last edited byNever. I can't stand the crowds and the loud music. And I don't appreciate the crowds singing and screaming on top of the music either. I've been to concerts like two times in my life just because others insisted so much I joined them, and the experience was exactly what I thought it would be.
I'm just not cut for them.

wrote 9 days ago last edited byI feel you. I go to concerts IN SPITE of the crowds.
And I have not set foot in a stadium in 12 years and I'm not planning to ever again. Theatre, pub or no go.And I always always always wear earplugs. The good kind, not the pharmacy kind, cause those just make the loud music sound like muffled music.

wrote 9 days ago last edited byWe go pretty frequently (about every other month), but less since covid and now mostly nationally touring bands. My husband often buys a T-shirt. We also like to go see live music when we're on vacation. My son toured with a band for a couple of years. I know it's hard when they're not making much money- sleeping in the van (or worse) and eating what the venue will give them. How about you?

wrote 9 days ago last edited byI‘d say around 4-6 times a year, depends on which bands play near me. I buy merch about 50% of the time, mostly when i really enjoyed a band or wanted a shirt from them for a long time.

wrote 9 days ago last edited by6 gigs last year:
Snotty Nose Rez Kids
Strumbellas
Band of Horses
Paul Weller
Chameleons
Billy BraggAlso had tix for Jane's Addiction before the implosion.
I buy merch when the mood strikes, but I normally try to purchase the opening act's cd.
Also perhaps 10 local gigs.
No gigs yet this year, but going to The Wedding Present in May, and Steve Winwood in September, and ruminating about the Sex Pistols in September too.

wrote 9 days ago last edited byPretty much never these days. Don't like the crowds and noise. But in my 20s i went to concerts almost once a month.

wrote 9 days ago last edited byWhen I was young, I went to every single show that came through my hometown.
Moving to Chicago for college, I went as often as there were bands I recognized , about three times a month.
Once I became a parent that shot downhill fast, to something like once every two months. I began to work nights and could almost never go. I'm back to a first shift schedule now and excited to start hitting the scene again, even if I'm too fat for the moshpit these days.

wrote 9 days ago last edited byWhen I was young it used to be like 15-20 a year, most of those local, some of those with my band. Nowadays, it's more like years apart between my visits anywhere. Not only there are way, way less happening in general (at least where I live), but family, other hobbies and keeping things quiet after busy work week has higher priority for me.

I never went too much but I enjoyed them from time to time, I tried to go only for bands I really loved and were unmissable (I still can't forgive myself for not going to a Linkin Park concert). Not sure I would enjoy now with all the crowd.Merch is usually super expensive so unless I can't find it anywhere else, not really.

wrote 9 days ago last edited byI used to go to shows almost weekly when I was living in London (UK). Now I live in a relatively small city so I rarely get to go.
