The Strangest Type of Bad Concert Etiquette 

It feels like the rich old people see a concert as hiring the performer, but normal people see it as paying for an experience

this whole concept sounds super weird to me. dinner at a concert? season tickets to a concert venue? sounds like a nightmare

“Top of the morning😊, top of the week🥹, WHAT THE HELLL👹👹👺👺👺”

Ive worked at the hollywood bowl for years and I have to tell you that you would be surprised how many people get mad at others just having fun at a concert

i can’t imagine having the privilege to be able to go to concerts so often that i feel like i can just…ignore the music? like if i get the opportunity to see live music, i am going HAM! that shit is NOT cheap 😭

Maggie Rogers was my first ever concert. I saw her about five years ago. I wasn’t a fan but my sister was but she still put on a fantastic show.

Maggie rogers is insane live, I’ve seen her 4 times and her energy is unreal. During Covid she got her masters from Harvard and wrote her thesis in the Spirituality of Public Places. If anyone gets it, it’s Maggie

I saw Maggie in Portland a few days ago, I had no idea how strange the Hollywood show was! I’m so glad our show was better - my husband and I were taken aback by how genuine she was. She thanked the crowd for how present we were and she seemed genuinely grateful. It makes WAY more sense now. We must’ve been a breath of fresh air after this nonsense. I was 4th row and was hyped!!

I saw Maggie at Lollapalooza and on this particular day the entire crowd was people who had waited like 10 hours in the pouring rain standing so we could all see a kpop group we really love and even tho we were all exhausted and wet and fans of a different group we danced and screamed and tried to be the best audience we could for Maggie cause every artist deserves a good crowd so to me this behavior is pretty unacceptable it’s not hard to be a good audience member and give the artist their cheers

I saw Maggie Rogers the other week, primarily because I wanted to see Alvvays tbh I'd never listened to her before. But honestly she was incredible, I got so into it. she deserves so much better than this

This reminds me of when I went to see Fall Out Boy about ten years ago with some "friends" (they only invited me because the person they wanted to invite couldn't go, and they reminded me of the fact the whole time) and the aquaintence in the group that I knew the least kept complaining about the opener the whole time they were playing. Just so you know, the opener was fucking PARAMORE! Like, I'm not even the biggest Paramore fan, but to talk shit about Paramore as you are there in a swarm of potentiel, die-hard, Paramore fans? Distrespectful. We were also in the back-back so luckily there was no chance of the band actually hearing her at all, but still, I was absolutly speechless by the rudness she was spitting next to me. Side note: I alsmost got left behind at the concert because one of them wanted to "teach me a lesson" about how to not be anxious all the time. Anyway, about a year later I saw Fall Out Boy again with a different friend (an actual good one this time), and Wiz Khalifa was one of the openers. I do not really like rap music, and I had no idea who Wiz Khalifa even was, but I had a fucking blast. I could have just sat in my seat and griped and complained the whole time about how Fall Out Boy got a rapper as an opener and that I didn't like it, but that's just not a vibe.

I went to a concert a few weeks ago and it was a pop-punk kind of vibe. The opening band slapped, they did amazing, people who never even heard of them before we're hype as shit just because they brought the fucking energy. However the band who came after them, the band that was before the main performance since there were three groups playing that night, they showed up with this Lo-Fi bedroom-pop kind of vibe and it's definitely not what anyone was expecting, like it wasn't bad but it just was not the same energy at all so people weren't jumping around as much and the lead singer got on the mic and said, "okay we are all California girls so we like to fucking dance, and honestly you guys are not bringing it" like, bruh, your playing mello bedroom pop at a pop punk concert, it was music that was so hard to dance to but people were still cheering them on and being respectful but she was mad we weren't raving out.

This is how concerts worked in the 60's. People sitting for dinner while B.B.King completely shreds his guitar to get a mild clap in the end. Sad that this "culture" may have a comeback or maybe the venue is just not suitable for "pop" or "rock" music but maybe more chilled "dinning while listening to music" but not the other way arround (dinning in a modern concert is a weird concept on itself, I don't know how it still exists)

Death Cab was in my city about a month ago, it was a sold out show. Everyone was talking instead of listening and I could barely hear the band. I was so frustrated I left early

i went to lollapalooza this year and saw such a weird mix of crowds. Maggie Rogers was there and I only caught the end of her set because I wasn't familiar with her music and was coming over to see the next artist on that stage but the crowd for her was so fun! Like everyone was dancing and singing and having such a good time that it just felt nice to be around them and apart of it even if i didn't know who she was. But earlier in the same day I went to watch Niki's set who's an artist I really like and was so so disappointed with the crowd. Literally no one was paying attention to her and were having very loud conversations the entire time. I was constantly getting pushed around by people coming out of the crowd even though she just started her set. Girls were posing for pictures in the middle of the crowd and then leaving right after it was insane.

I can't imagine paying for season tickets to a concert series and not getting turnt,,, like go see a play or musical if you want to follow theatre etiquette, but this is a concert baby...

this is honestly why im so glad im mainly a metal/punk/hardcore and generally more underground music fan, those are the onlt real safe havens of good concert etiquette nowadays, there not a sea of phones, and everyone thats there is for the music and the experience

As someone who grew up in LA and only just recently moved out of state for college, there is certainly a certain culture of entitlement around entertainment. I think that, at least to some extent, living in such close proximity to all of entertainment media, it is kind of easy to take all that freak stuff for granted. Like, of course someone in LA isn’t going to value their accessibility to live music as much as someone from Racism, Virginia, because literally every single time an artist goes on a nationwide tour they stop in LA. Live entertainment isn’t a big event for LA residents because it’s kind of a given.

It does seem like public entertainment is getting weirder or less considerate of performances/ entertainment. Like I dont even bother going to movies anymore unless i REALLY want some of that movie theater popcorn and a sodie because people are always on their phone or something. I havent been to many concerts lately but Ive been seeing the stories and the vibes are OFF

even if im not a super big fan of the artist, i tend to get into the concert “ spirit “ cause im there to have fun with my friends. If we wanted to talk we would whisper or go to the bathrooms lol

Maggie puts on an INSANE show. Saw her at red rocks on aug 9th. Cried danced screamed. She literally gives everything. Great crowd too

I'll never understand why people who are always annoyed and bored at concerts, keep buying all the tickets and going to shows. stop torturing yourselves, and everyone around you and stay home

maggie rogers is one of my favorite artists, not just because of how good her music is, but also how hard she's worked to make it to this point. it's devastating to see people at a concert i would do anything to go to talking the entire time and complaining about her. i had a similar experience recently at a julien baker show.

No because I also felt this when I went to see Mitski in LA. The concert was sold out in minutes mind you yet there was this mother and daughter who were just standing and looking annoyed the whole time because everyone around them was dancing and singing and having fun (mind you it was a standing concert with two floors, I was on the balcony up front). It made me so weirded out that they were acting like that but this video made so much sense and now even though I don’t understand why they were like that, I guess now I know that there are people like that at concerts in LA?

in another vein, i went to an outdoor pavilion for a concert this summer and it disturbed me how many families just treat it as a casual family-friendly event and don't do their research. it was over 90 degrees, and i saw several babies and young children under 10, and many of them were also without ear protection. thankfully the venue allowed up to 1 gallon of water per person if you looked on their website, but inside the venue, they had almost no non-alcoholic options. i really wish some people would either do their research or pay less for a babysitter than they did for their kid's ticket.

we're approaching the point where i honestly believe in a couple of years the majority of crowds at every concert are just gonna be rich influencers who don't care who's playing and just wanna take selfies in the crowd or pretend theyre at a nightclub 😭

I went to the eras tour in Nashville and I noticed the rudeness kinda which felt crazy for a taylor concert. Phoebe Bridgers opened and she is my favorite artist and half the reason I came, so I was going insane during it and screaming and dancing from my seats a mile away from the stage and it felt awkward because of the tons and tons of people just sitting there and looking at me. It was really weird because I thought they shared a lot of fans but ig most Nashville people don't care about Phoebe.

It makes me so sad because, living in South Africa, we have hardly any concerts at all, especially not international shows, so seeing the privilege these people have and not giving a single thought to people who don’t have access is disgusting.

The same thing happened at the Mitski concert I went to last year. NO ONE was standing or dancing or even singing. It was so weird. I was singing along a little bit, and I was SHUSHED. Idk what is with people at concerts these days.

I had this same issue at my last concert. I saw The Cure in Tampa, and they were amazing!! But, there were so many people around me constantly getting up and buying alcohol and food, and they were talking the ENTIRE concert and no one would stand up. So odd to me

This is exactly why I tend to gravitate towards standing room only venues when I go to Nashville. I’ve had great experiences at larger venues, but standing room only tends to just have AMAZING vibes

Your content has been all I feel like watching lately. All the silly goofy, and the concert etiquette, and the music drama. I’m really into it. I’m not feeling great today, but this video definitely is helping me

Dude all the concerts I've been to recently have been like this. Everyone's just standing there not even bobbing their head and get mad when my friends and I want to dance in our own space

just my personal opinion- i feel like the best crowd for a concert is definitely kpop. i went to my first ever real concert for my fav kpop group earlier this year, and it was also outdoors. even though it was an open stadium, the crowd was absolutely WILD. not a single person in sight sitting down, everyone was cheering, singing along, dancing, screaming, it was AMAZING. being there felt like an adrenaline rush and i’d give up everything to go back again. i feel like so many people nowadays just buy concert tickets for the “aesthetic” or just because the artist is popular. it breaks my heart seeing talented artists have a still crowd that only takes photos and videos for social media. that’s why i was so thrilled when i was in such an energetic crowd, and maybe because kpop is more closed off and more of a personalized taste rather than one song going viral and everyone loves it, but those crowds will NEVER let you down. highly recommend getting into kpop and going to a concert. you will have the BEST time of your life❤

I noticed this at a concert I went to, I recently went to my first concert and got extremely lucky to be 5th row and besides a couple people (some drunk ladies and groups of people my age scattered around), I was one of the only people who got up and had a good time. I've never been to a concert before and was expecting everyone to be up and having fun but everyone around me were of a certain older demographic and seemed annoyed by those up and having fun, nobody even went up to the front of the stage til the very last few songs but when I watched other videos, all the people who seemed like genuine fans having a good time were aaaaaall the way in the very back. Its just so sad that only a certain demographic of people can afford good tickets and then have the gall to be annoyed by people acting like fans and having a good time. Hell even the artist ended up making a comment about how quiet our show was later on

DEV I LOVE YOU AND NICK AND ETHAN SM YOU’RE LIKE MY HOLY TRINITY OF NICHE COMMENTARY PEOPLE 💞💞

I'm a HUGE Maggie Rogers fan, and have been going to her shows for 7 years and have seen her at shows with 100 people vs 10,000 people, and I've ALWAYS had a great experience at her shows. Now, I am from a place that Maggie has roots in so she is seen as a "hometown hero" around here and maybe that's why I've always had a good experience around where I live seeing her. But I have completely been in crowds like this before at other shows and it is so frustrating as a fan. I paid quite a bit to see Bruce Springsteen earlier this year and was SHOCKED by how rude the people around me were. I'm so sad Maggie had to deal with this, because she is so genuine and lovely and an amazing performer.

I cannot recommend Maggie Rogers more. I saw her open for another band (dont remember literally only went for her) super early into her career and she put on such an amazing show! Honestly her first album, Heard It In A Past Life is my fav and the one I'd say to check out. Anyway, your music is literally the only thing getting me through my 45 minute walks to classes (literally If You Wanna Reach Me & Cyberpunk Fairy on loop) so thank you!!

I like the layout that evolved at the Winnipeg Folk Festival main stage. They made slices of the half circle in front of the stage (narrower at the stage but widen out as you move away): 2 dance slices (one on each side), 1 accessibility slice, 1 staff and volunteers slice, and 1 quiet sitting slice. Doesn't have to be exactly like that but it lets all the sub-groups do their thing. It does suck when all the quiet sitters get all the front (excluding the dancing fans), or when all the moshers get all the front (excluding the accessibility fans). p.s. congrats on 135k!

Dev is so cool. I saw her giving soup to dogs the other day. She has such a big heart.

I saw Destroy Boys in concert within this last year, and unfortunately, my group didn't get there in time for the first opener because we were all busy for the larger part of the day, but the second opener was a group I had never heard of before called Die Spitz, and they gave such a fantastic performance. I had never heard of them before, and I'm sure most of the audience hadn't either, but everyone was cheering and hollering the entire time. That's how they should be to artists they don't know

It sounds like they were treating it like they were a lounge singer..? Like you said, dinner and a show energy, but that's nowhere near concert energy, which is what the performer seemed to expect. Maybe they misunderstood the point of the venue that night? Or maybe they venue hired the wrong kind of musician for the vibe of the place, causing confusion on both sides. To me, it definitely seems like a bunch of people who just wanted to eat expensive food and chill with music in the background were put off by an unexpected atmosphere of being asked to behave like a concert crowd. They're certainly lame and snobbish maybe, but with it happening on mass like that it has to be an advertising issue right? Something definitely attracted a different crowd than usual.

I bought my lollapalooza ticket specifically to see Maggie Rodgers and she was literally amazing but people were being so annoying and talking over her the entire time because she was the last artist to play on that stage before the headliner. It was so frustrating. Her entire discography is great tho my fav songs are say it, and falling water!

About standing up- If someone is disengaged and whining that they have to stand up, that’s one thing, but please be mindful some of us are disabled and can’t stand the whole time, or at all. Disability seating tends to be garbage and if you want to see them without being so far away they look like ants, sadly you have to suck it up and deal with only kind of seeing them, or only seeing them for the few minutes at a time you can stand. They also might not _seem_ engaged with the show because a lot of us with physical issues are also neurodivergent and don’t express excitement in the ways you’re used to. I mean hell, I can’t even sit for long periods of time on a normal basis and can’t dance in my seat or clap through a whole concert just from CFS. If someone is being flat-out disrespectful like eating fucking dinner, talking, and expecting everyone else to sit, that’s probably not the case of course! I’m only saying JUST BECAUSE someone is sitting and seems unexcited, don’t be automatically judgmental. At the same time, my Ma and I went to a concert last night (Jonas Brothers and from what I saw the crowd was lovely thankfully), and we’re disabled so standing up isn’t easy for us. They didn’t have many options for disabled seating (we couldn’t even figure out where the hell it was supposed to be which is a telltale sign the only available seats for disabled fans are both scarce aka unavailable if you don’t buy them asap and they suuuuuuuck) and we wound up out with everyone else. We couldn’t see sometimes but also like…… okay that’s the venues problem for only doing the bare minimum not to get in trouble with the ADA instead of providing ample opportunities for us?? It sure as hell wasn’t the people around us’s fault! We took a bullet and sat for a lot of it, but when a song came on we were crazy about you bet your ass we were standing too! If those people aren’t just being lazy and genuinely had issues standing, I can understand their frustrations and that’s valid, but that’s on the venue and not anyone else around them’s fault. But just like I don’t judge the people standing up, y’all need to be mindful not to make assumptions about (respectful!) people sitting down.

I hate concerts like these. Omg I once opened for a band I love in Atlanta and even though it was really awkward and the crowd had no idea who we were it was so quiet our friends and family were our number one screamers and dancers but they applauded us, didn’t speak loud during our set, and were super kind and respectful even for our second show. It’s the worst feeling but having it turn out on the better end usually helps

This is true for LA in general. People are so used to having concerts here that often the people buying up tickets are doing so because going to concerts is one of the many “things to do,” not because they care about the artist.

On time I got first row tickets for a small artist I really love. I usually saw them at small standing venues but this time it was a small theater in a relatively smaller town. The crowd was 99% season ticket old people… no one stood up. My friend and I felt really awkward so we stood up and went in a corner to dance lol.

the whole getting mad at people for dancing during a concert is wild to me. on two seperate occasions, i stood up and danced during a show and gotten yelled at to sit down by people glued to their chairs. i get everyone enjoys things differently, but if you are literally scrolling thru facebook THE ENTIRE TIME; why are you here bro!!!

As a concert LOVER! I think it’s so important to show the opener some love… like I’ve found some of my favorite bands from openers and I can’t even comprehend how some of the people in the pit will talk over the opener. YOURE AT A CONCERT! ACT LIKE IT!

That's like 90% of concert experiences i've been to in the last 5 years. Just eating, drinking and talking the whole time. Like 1 or two people dancing. It's terrible.

I BOUFHT TICKETS FOR YIUR CONCERT IN OCTOBER (MINNEAPOLIS!!)

congrats on 100k, i'm right behind you! coming for that silver square!

Coming from an LA native, the hollywood bowl is a weird venue!! Whenever my family would go to the hollywood bowl growing up, it was always a picnic dinner + a show ordeal, like we would drag our grandparents there and show up with a bunch of food and chat and watch a performance casually. Often times those performances would be operas or classical music, sometimes they were movie singalongs with a live orchestra, and every once and a while, a pop artist. The vast majority of season ticketholders are middle aged and elderly folks. I think the weird thing about the Maggie Rogers concert at the Hollywood Bowl is that she's a pop artist whose music definitely could appeal to those demographics, so I'm guessing a lot more of that group attended this concert than the average pop concert at the bowl. (For example, I don't imagine there were many season ticketholders at the Louis Tomlinson concert earlier this summer.) When I was growing up, I remember there were also times when I would go with my mom as a work excursion. The company she worked for would buy a certain number of tickets to a random Hollywood Bowl show and then all sit together (though it's probably too generous to assume this explains the crypto talk at the Maggie Rogers concert), which meant that we never knew the artists performing on those nights either. I think this Maggie Rogers concert was just the perfect storm for the old LA entertainment culture to clash with modern concert culture, and I wish Maggie could've had a better experience that night!

the end of your videos always puts a smile on my face ty dev :3

Someone do a 'WhAt tHe hElL' count for her channel

I saw glass animals outdoors (in the midwest & i sat out far ish on like a lawn ) but everyone was crazy into it & it was sm fun (awful litter & not many sober ppl but regardless) i liked it a lot more than indoor venues bc still crowded, but no one was crammed into me the whole concert & i could actually see so idk my friend brought me to bastille & i dont rlly know their music but i still tried to seem into it not rlly for the crowd or the band but like for my friend? tried to sing along & such anyways my 2 cents seems like it was because the bad crowd is mainly privileged ppl & LA because their are tons of shows their

CONGRATS ON 100K ILY DEV

congrats in 100k omg!!! you deserve it sm !

I have two friends I cannot go to shows with anymore because they are people that have a full volume convo during sets and it stresses me out sooooo much, but if you’re checking out Maggie for the first time Overnight and Shatter are my two favs!!!!

I just need you to know that playing more guessing games (often more than once) on my hour long drive to work gives me life and energy for the day it's just so so so very wicked good man, so good

I went to see a SOLD OUT concert of Machine Girl in December 2022 and some people literally didn't care about the show and where just their to post pics on Instagram. I heard some dude talking to his friends after the second band to open played saying ''We don't need to see the rest of the show, we got all the pics for Instagram we need.'' Some of my close friends where jealous that I got tickets and wanted to come. Those motherfuckers didn't deserve those tickets and I'm kinda mad at them like the fans in the video shows.

The scenario in the thumbnail is a dream for me. The fight for setlist is always a struggle 😫

Awesome to see Austin pop off for his concert experience. I follow him on tiktok and visited his store on vacay! He is super funny and nice! Send him some love!!! 🎉

keep up the good work! your videos always give me new topics to learn about and tell to my friend

a few years ago I saw Paramore but I didn't get very close tickets and all the people around me were so disappointing, there were two ladies that were super drunk and gossiping (sitting down) the whole time next to me, like I just wanted to jump around and sing loudly but everyone around me was sitting :(

Her voice is beautiful omg I’ve never heard of her before this, I’m definitely gonna put her in my playlist

Idk man, I know the bowl usually has sit-down music concerts but when I saw Steely Dan it was lit! Same for New Order+Pet Shop Boys This situation sucks, so disappointing :(

Bro I went to see Maggie rogers in Utah (really only to see Alvvays) last week and during the Alvvays set I was up vibing with my friends and dancing and enjoying songs. So many people were asking people who were standing up to sit down but no was even watching Alvvays ripping up there anyways. I just told people, “respectfully, no I’m gonna stand up and dance.” I thought that it was just since it was the opener but they kinda had weird vibes during Maggie rogers set too! Just weird vibes all around (besides the music, that was amazing)

Occasionally going to big concerts in London, this kinda vibe can also appear there, but only ever during the support acts in my experience. Super agree with the audience being slightly spoiled by the amount of music going on - people barely applauding when the support act just KILLED it on a song.

Congrats on 100k, found ur channel recently and you're funny girlie, love ur stuff

i just went to my first concert a few weeks ago and yeah the lack of concert etiquette almost completely threw me off going period

To be fair there are standing concerts and sitting down concerts. I know these concerts made in a botanical garden where first you cant eat dinner and then you watch the concert, normally sitting down because thats the ettiquette there. I dont know if thats the case, it seems it isnt. But just wanted to make the observation

I know people like to shit on the South but the concert going crowd here is amazing and I think the concert etiquette is much better. I’ve been to a bunch of shows in Atlanta and a few in BHam and Nashville and they’ve all been amazing with great energy no matter how small or large the artist

i adore maggie and i hate that i had a similar experience when i saw her at the shrine auditorium. crowd was so much older than i anticipated and the people surrounding me talked throughout the entire show. i'll never understand paying for a show just to pay no attention to the artist, especially someone as talented as maggie. anyway, anywhere with you is a beautiful song i would recommend it!!!

I havent been to a concert in ages, but I had a similar experience during a local poetry festival watching Belfast at a venue that projects more artsy films. It's usually old people with season tickets and I had an old lady complain the whole time super loudly about how she didn't hear properly and that it was so boring. Meanwhile I was bawling my eyes out at this movie telling the horrific experiences of my ancestors. The end was so touching but she ruined it by saying "Finally!" way too loud over the final quiet shots of the film 🫣

“Beat the heavy twwaaafic” lmao I love you dev

Thanks for this video, I just listened to Maggie for the first time and I love her. By the way, I think I’m kinda glad now that I live oversea, so IF we get to see artists that aren’t from here you’re almost positive that people really want to be there, or they wouldn’t go to those specific concerts. I never had such a bad experience in my entire life with live music events, even when we talk about really obscure no-one-knows-them kind of artists. I would be so mad if something like this ever happened to me while attending a concert of whatever proportion.

i finally bought tickets today to see you and jordana in minneapolis! im so so hyped for the show

IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU OPENING FOR JORDANA IN PORTLAND. I STARTED LISTENIJG TO JORDANA JUST SO I HAD MORE REASON TO SEE THAT SHOW!!! I CANT WAIT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Jane Fonda on Maggie’s performance at the Hollywood Bowl “She’s a knockout! Everybody seemed to know the words to all her songs and she’s the sexiest most sensual mover on stage I think I’ve ever seen. She’s going to become huge. She’s also beautiful and joyful.”

If I paid for my ticket, and Im not disrupting anyone, Im gonna enjoy your music however I want. If I want it as background to my dinner, you can go complain to the venue for serving me dinner.

I have said for a while that COVID has cause a weird shift in concert etiquette. Like I'm a frequent gig goer before and after covid and since covid people are acting feral in the wrong ways.

i went to lollapalooza this year, had never been so tired in my life after walking almost an hour from the train station to the venue, not to mention the actual hour and a half train ride in the heat, in a crowd, and i could never fathom no matter what not having proper concert etiquette!! the crowds were insane though, we all had a blast for every set and the artists clearly appreciated the energy, so sad to see the concert culture disappearing :((

Just copped my Philly ticket and ready to bring the hype 😤💙💙

dev youre killing it in that tank top i love you

wake up babe dev limes just posted

i’m going to more concerts this year than i ever did in the past and i’m getting really nervous about the state of shows rn, thankfully i haven’t had any bad experiences myself yet but concerts are too expensive and sporadic (if u have a busy schedule) to not even have a good time

Omg I had no idea you were from our area! I've been to SO many shows there in Camden!

Maggie had something similar happen at her Lollapalooza set. At one point in the show she had to basically teach the crowd at the very front how to clap and dance because all they were doing is just standing there not doing anything. Granted it was mainly a bunch of kpop fans at the rail that had been camping all day for the kpop act on that stage later on.

Last concert I went to was in Portland, May 14, for half alive! You and Nick opened that night and the people behind me complained CONSTANTLY throughout the REST OF THE SHOW abt your set. The way you guys dressed, the tone of your voice, drums were too loud, etc etc. Obviously we were all there for half alive but you can have some respect for everyone around you and not literally yell over the music to just complain when you can do that literally ANY OTHER TIME!! I was actually so excited for your music and they literally trashed it for hours and it was so frustrating. Lots of love for you guys and your music !! ❤❤❤ I'm so glad I was there even with the assholes behind me

I saw maggie 4 years ago at the skyla ampitheater in charlotte, which is an outdoor venue and EVERYONE was dancing and paying attention... amazing energy. This makes me so sad because outdoor venues can be so great.

I went to my first outdoor venue this weekend at the Fivepoint Amphitheater in Irvine, CA for Young The Giant and Milky Chance. Seats were in a bleacher fashion. Everyone was amazing. Crowd absolutely rocked. But once you walked out to the grass/picnic area, yeah people were chatting and talking. I was neither a huge YTG or MC fan (they’re so amazing, I just wasn’t a regular listener - I am now!) but the crowd made me love them even more. it was great. I hope my other experiences at outdoor venues are the same.

i’ve only been to metal concerts and one men we trust concert - the latter was odd because people were talking the whole time. i have always had a blast at metal concerts and festivals.

her album surrender is amazing, my faves are anywhere with you, horses, begging for rain and shatter!

Okay but dinner and a concert sounds lovely lol Im sure this vibe was odd at this concert but what i have in my head seems great lol

I checked my calendar to see if I could see your show in NC but I already am going to another concert in NC that night... Maggie Rogers lol. So yall will be playing a few hours from each other in september. full circle really!!

saw maggie at radio city in february and she also stopped to tell us to be more enthusiastic, bc so many of her fans were in the BACK or way up in the balcony bc the tix were so expensive. my friends and I were super far back and so many people around us were standing completely still or talking or just not paying attention like they clearly did not care who she was

100k!!! ur on track to becoming the next the rock

this really makes me so sad. i havent gone to a concert in la since the big C but i was a HEAVY la concert goer in 2016-2019 and it was one of my favorite places to see artists. sometimes i feel so detached from reality because how could anyone ever go to see a live music performance and not.... get lively??

For the last 3 years, I've been a VIP Season Pass holder for Ogden Twilight, which is held at an open air venue like the bowl (but way smaller). I get that pass because I really care about the artists I like and want to maximize my experience at shows (like Jordana and Dev Lemons at Kilby Court which I'll be at 😉). Even though I COULD go to all of the shows, I don't go to the ones I'm not super interested, because I don't want to kill the vibe or be in the way of somebody else that actually wants to be there. Being a pass holder isn't an excuse for bad etiquette.
