Going to concerts alone Hey I don’t know if this is the right subreddit to ask this but has anybody ever gone to a concert alone? I have a concert I’m going to in a couple weeks and I’m going alone because none of my friends listen to this artist. Is it awkward? Do people look at you weird or is everybody too invested in the concert to care?? submitted by /u/M-c…

Michael Jackson Concerts I am 29 years old and never had the pleasure to see him live. I have been a long time MJ fan regardless of his personal life. But for those of you that have seen him in concert, preferably the Bad tour and tours prior because I believe that was when he was really on top of his game such as sharp movements, fast and very energetic on stage. What …

Are foam earplugs THAT bad for concerts? I want to start a metal band. My hearing is VERY important to me (go ahead, judge me), so I’m thinking of buying some earplugs. I’ve heard of musician earplugs, but they cost more & provide less sound protection (max -26 db), put I’ve heard that they’re better than foam earplugs. Foam earplugs provide max -33 db. So what should I do? Should I bu…

Do benefit concerts with huge lineups of surprise guests still exist? I was reminded today about a concert I went to back in 2009 at the Palladium in Los Angeles called “Common and Friends”. It was marketed as a benefit concert for some charity (I forget which) and there would be an unbelievable list of special guests. Surprise guest after surprise guest came out on stage. Artists like Common – De La Soul – MF Doo…

What are some of the best concerts you’ve ever been to and why do you remember them? This question came to mind because I randomly thought back to the time I saw The Roots come to my college in 2008. It was one of those spring festival deals and the Campus Activities Board or whatever middleman they were working with went all out and got The Roots, got Immortal Technique and Alex Band. This was a few years before they hooked up …

Thoughts on letting go during solo-concerts? Ok so Arctic Monkeys is 3 hours from where I live tomorrow, and they’re a bucketlist band for me. I NEED to watch them live once before I die, so I tried convincing my friends, they didn’t want to come, so I bought a ticket to go alone. Now, I’m not somebody who thinks going alone is weird or worried about whether people will judge me, but I’m s…

Ear plugs or noise-cancelling earbuds for live concerts? I’m going to my first live concert ever in October. I’ve never gone to one before out of fear of damaging my hearing but Polyphia is finally in town and I just couldn’t live with myself if I missed them. I have the Sony WF-1000XM4 noise cancelling buds and have been thinking of using them on ambient sound mode to reduce the frequencies to a saf…

LPT: Your hearing is not invincible. Please lower your volume when listening to music. Bring earplugs to concerts. Do not make the same mistake I made. submitted by /u/Lashicard

Concerts have the ability to bring random people together and I love it: a quick story from last night Last night I saw Incubus, Badflower and Paris Jackson in Pittsburgh. I had brought a sign with me that said “SETLIST??” hoping to get an Incubus and Paris Jackson setlist. I got a Paris Jackson setlist (she was amazing!!) and wanted to help get some Badflower fan a setlist. I’m not too big on Badflower. I think they’re really good at what they d…

I would appreciate critique as well as advice or tips for photographing live events and concerts. I’m going to photograph a festival in a few weeks and I’d like to try some new things and find out where I can improve. These are a few of my favorite photos from the last event I photographed. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/hellogoodbye978

Ear protection at concerts Will any over the counter earplugs work if I want to go see a rock band? It’s kind of too late to buy good quality ones (shipping) and I also don’t have enough money from them.. so will those help a little bit then having no ear protection? submitted by /u/Suitable_Seesaw_6631

You waited in line for two hours. You were up all night selecting your outfit. You sat in ridiculous traffic. You fought a relentless battle against Ticketmaster, and dagnabbit, you…
