How do people get the money to see 10 concerts a year 

I only saw one this year, Arcade Fire's 20th anniversary of Funeral. It was great seeing the whole album being performed live after all this time.

Believe it or not, the only concert that was expensive was taylor swift. The rest of em i paid less than 100$ and about half of them were under 50$

[KubaM316 13,611]

1. Taylor (feel free to hate me for that as much as y'all want, I don't care) + Paramore

and the rest is just Polish artists so don't expect to know even one more name 

2. Doda

3. Dawid Podsiadło

4. Mery Spolsky

5. Daria Zawiałow

6. Dawid Kwiatkowski x2

7. Sylwia Grzeszczak (wasn't bad but I was forced to leave soon after it started so my entire experience was ruined)

+ if everything goes according to plan I'm seeing Natalia Szroeder & Mrozu in December

I had the pleasure of seeing Janet Jackson once and she was incredible. Kinda unrelated but my mom got to see Michael Jackson front row at both Victory and Bad tours and I have never been so jealous. 

 I would give anything for the chance to see Michael live

I know the year isnt’t completely over yet, but 2024 has been a great year for concerts. I’ve been lucky enough to see a bunch of them. I’m intrigued to know what some of your favorites were ? 
 

Here is my personal ranking for this year

1. Sweat tour (Charli XCX and Troye Sivan)

2. Maggie Rogers

3. Billie Eilish

4. Taylor Swift

5. The Beaches 

6. Pink

7. Madonna (I had bad seats, prob would be higher if I had better seats)

8. The Killers

9. Conan Grey

10. Noah Kahan

11. Omar Apollo (got a last min ticket for 15$, the venue was almost empty, I felt really bad but I was VERY impressed  he is an amazing performer)

12. Avril Lavigne (love the music but girl has no stage presence )

13. Lizzy McAlpine (went with a friend, she has good songs but it’s less my kinda thing)

I totally back this ranking! i've seen most of those live and Maggie Rogers is deffo one of the best live performers I've ever seen! Can't think of someone who seems so posessed by music in a good way

Concerts I've seen this year let's see

1. Pink (Brisbane)

2. Pink (Orlando)

Unless seeing Jellyroll perform at SummerSlam also counts

Saw P!nk for the third time last year and it was the best show I’ve ever been to, she’s my all time favorite performer 

[2School4Cool 6,431]

1. Billie Eilish - first time seeing her and it was out of this world

2. Billy Joel - his shows are always amazing, one of the best performers alive

3. Train - decided to get super cheap last minute tickets and had a blast with my best friend 

4. Justin Timberlake - only went for the meme and to see my friend, ended up being an excellent show, one of the coolest productions I’ve seen tbh 

5. Janet Jackson - didn’t know much of her music before the show but I fell in love with her live! Amazing performer

Yes and it was a total suprise for me too. Ive been a fan of hers for a while but never got the chance to go. Managed to get nosebleeds for 25$, then 15 mins before she came on i won the contest for seat ugrades and was on the floor. It was such a magical night. 
 

Musicians being so in the music is what makes it great. Thats the only critisism i have of the Taylor show. Everything is rehearsed to perfection, where i felt i lost some of that. There was a tik tok video of one of her props failing and she had to improvise, it was arguably better than whatever was planned.

I saw her last night and damn she's so good  Zero regrets seeing the same show a second time 

[huttont 5,227]

Chappell Roan

Slayyyter

Hozier

Allie X - meet n greet

Violet Chachki 

Madison Beer - but I got Covid and didn’t go.

[LauraPalmer 657]

1. Charli/Troye - Sweat Tour (at MSG with Lorde as a guest)

2. Green Day - Saviors Tour

3. Olivia Rodrigo - Guts Tour

4. The Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds Tour

5. Bleachers - From the Studio to the Stage (my friend is a bigger fan than me, i went as support but it was more fun than i expected!)

[skaxboy 5,309]

8) NKOTB w/Paula Abdul- I went mainly for Paula. NKOTB is still a fun group. Paula was alright but I’m happy I got to see her live.

 

7) Missy Elliott- Never thought I would see her but she put on a solid show. Blink 182 and Tate McCrae also had shows that night but I went for Missy. Ciara was the first performer but I didn’t see any of her set because I was late. Busta Rhymes went before Missy and he was good but I wanted to see Ciara (Rihanna was not there, on or off the stage).  

6) TLC- I saw them at the FanMail tour many many years ago and have seen them open for NKOTB and their other shows since. I was in the 2nd row this time and had my tour shirt I got from the FanMail tour. Chilli definitely still has it! I wish they interacted with the audience more but still, they are icons.

5) Janet Jackson- I saw her show in summer 23 and this time it was in an arena. She was good but I really wish it had a little more production value. It is Janet Jackson after all. She had the same 4 back up dancers. I so wish I could be her creative director because she has such an opportunity to have a spectacular show with her amazing discography. I hope the LV residency brings the production up a notch.

 

4) Green Day (LA)- They played Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety. So much energy in the stadium. 
 

3) Megan Thee Stallion w/GloRilla- The show was on a Sunday night and it was so energetic and fun! I was dancing and twerking. I love Megan and I love Glo! Such a fun show!! Some guy had a sign saying “Both My Boyfriends Are Captain Hook” and Megan was like “Friend! You said BOTH your boyfriends?!?!!!” 

 

 

2) Gaga Jazz and Piano- The final show of J&P. So good! I was going the Stupid Love choreography when she sang it. I cried during the introduction by Tony Bennett. 
 

1) Madonna- Sacramento

I originally had nosebleeds but a few hours before the show, there were seats right next to the end stage (where she sits for the judging during “Vogue”). I got to meet Detox too! My first time seeing her and she was amazing! The entire “Live to Tell” performance was perfection to me. I cried. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to.  I also went to one of the SF shows after but nosebleeds.

I wanted to see the tour a second time but I wasn’t able to, but my one show was enough to go down as one of my favorite moments in my life. It touched something in my soul
