**UPDATED**

My 2013 concert list looks like this so far:

 

Björk - Paris, March 8 ✓

Lana Del Rey - Hamburg, April 6 ✓

Lana Del Rey - Berlin, April 15 ✓

Lana Del Rey - Bruxelles, May 31✓

Bruce Springsteen - Leipzig, July 7 ✓

 

Bob Dylan - Hamburg, October 19 Can't make it unfortunately

Charli XCX - Berlin, October 22 Cancelled for whatever shitty reason

MS MR - Frankfurt, November 9

Mylène Farmer - Bruxelles, November 16

You're seeing Mylene Farmer? Dude, you're so lucky. I've been listening to her for about 7 years, yet never made it to any of her shows. I can't wait to see what her new show will look like

Random maybe, but has/does anyone go to concerts alone? Is it worth it?

I usually always go alone, coz the people I know are never interested in music I like. The great thing is that if you're waiting in the line, there are always new people to meet and get to know. That's how I ended up in Gaga's and Lana's shows, meeting the most awesome folks. So now I will have someone to go with

That's an interesting question & I'd love to read more replies tbh.

 

I've only been to a concert alone once and it was hands down, by a loooong mile the best concert I've ever been to. Not only was it a show by my fave band, it was also completely WILD in a way that most definitely wouldn't have happened hadn't I been alone.

 

So I strongly recommend doing it *at least* once preferably while you're single

[naachoboy 7,993]

ive only seen paramore lol (i dont even like them but i went with my brother)

Did you sleep with The Strokes?

 

I've never been to a concert alone (mostly because I don't trust myself to drive in the city), but once I got away from my friends in the pre-entry line mob and saw the opportunity to get close to the stage without waiting for them and took it. I had a lot of fun, so I wouldn't rule the option out

 

Anyway, upcoming:

Lorde (Sept. 24th)

Sky Ferreira (Sept. 29th)

City and Colour (Oct. 17th)

Charli XCX (Nov. 4th)

 

Hoping to convince someone to see Jay Brannan with me but I'm already missing a ton of school

[elllipsis 1,441]

Did you sleep with The Strokes?

 

Like, with all 5 of them?

Of course not.

 

and then Roger Waters at Wembley in September.

Can Roger Waters please, PLEASE just adopt me?! Or at least be my life mentor or something. Seriously.

I am not a concert-goer. Actually, I can't remember the last time I've been to one. I'm planning to come next Emilie Autumn's and Lana's show the next time they come to here. Of course I always watch concert vids of all my favorite artists but I will never get to Mylène Farmer for instance so you know. For more distant plans - if Alizée plays some bigger gig in France, I'll try to see her.

Saturday! So stoked.

 

Trying to bide my time until Grimes tickets are cheap on stubhub too but it's not looking good...

[Rafael 3,513]

I've only been to two concerts in total and I've come to the conclusion that I either have the worst of luck or it's a paradise experience (literally):

 

First time being when I went to see the main act (because that's what normal people do) and fail to realize later on that the opening acts are even better. Marina+Charli at the Coldplay tour 2012.

 

Only time being amazing was the Paradise Tour 2013, at the front with Kassidy and Lana. Absolute bliss. 

 

Also, have you ever discovered an artist only to learn the fact that they just had a live gig at your place? Never experiencing the Paracosm era with Washed Out and it's killing me with each day to be perfectly honest.

 

I don't even know  I need a sensei. Who do I consult? Someone with an artist bondage via Twitter? @@SitarHero?
