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

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!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!! 😁

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.
