Six Reasons Why Going To Gigs Alone Is The Best

So you want to go see that metalcore band you love but none of your friends like that “shouty” music? Or you REALLY want to go check out that new artist on TikTok you discovered but all your mates won’t go to a gig where they only know one song? Or worse, your group of friends cannot get themselves organized and work out which show and when to go on a tour, so you’re worried you’ll miss out on tickets. Let them be miserable and start living your best life by going to concerts by yourself. Trust us, it’ll be the best thing you’ll ever do!

Going to gigs alone can be daunting. What am I going to do with myself in between sets? Are people going to think I’m weird? Why would I not want to share the experience?

Listen, we are all for sharing the experience, but sometimes it’s either missing out or going alone, and in those cases we definitely recommend going alone. Here’s a few reasons why you’ll never regret it once you build up the courage to go through with it.

1 . See artists you really REALLY want to see

Imagine the FOMO of missing your favourite band on their new tour, hearing all those new songs live, seeing everyone post about it. Don’t let that happen, and get that ticket. Plus you then get to tell the pals who didn’t want to come how you saw that band or artist before they blew up or how they played that one B-side track that everyone loves – now who has FOMO?

2. Meet new friends

It’s no secret that music brings people together. That moment when everyone’s favourite ballad hits and there’s not a dry eye in the building, you turn to your left or right and suddenly you bond with a stranger over your favourite song. For the metalheads, we also recommend mosh pits, follow the rules of the pit but what a way to make new friends!

3. The freedom

Now hear us out – but going to a gig alone means you can get to the venue when you want, you can go to the loos when you want, you can stand in line at the merch for hours and no one will ask if you’re sure you want to wait. And no one will drag you home when you want to wait after the show has finished and find every piece of confetti or ask for the setlist.

4 . It’s a cult

You are not alone in going to gigs by yourself, you’d probably be surprised by how many people do the same thing. Some fan groups even have entire sub cultures of going to gigs alone (shoutout to Frank Turner’s solo armada, we see you!) – bringing us back to reason #2, new friends.

5. Confidence boost

Going to a gig by yourself will do wonders for your confidence. Sure the first time might feel a bit awkward and weird, but isn’t it always? Remember your first day of school? And then it was kind of okay after a while (let’s ignore our teenage years…) Once you’ve done it and experience all of the divinity of a solo gig you’ll feel free as a bird.

6. Experience the music your way

Whether you love hanging out by the bar, need to be front row, prefer seats or want to leave a bit earlier to catch the last train – the world is your oyster! The experience is yours, you don’t need to coordinate with someone else, rely on them to enjoy the show as much as you are and have as much of a good time as you are. And frankly, if you took a chance on a new genre or new artist and it isn’t your vibe, you can just go home. Glorious.

So there you have it – doesn’t sound too bad now does it?! At the end of the day it all comes down to you and your artist, a concert will always be a shared experience whether with strangers or friends. The most important thing to do is have fun.

Your next gig awaits

It all starts here.

Create memories to last a lifetime

Whether it’s your favourite band, an evening with friends, discovering new artists or the seventh show on the tour, we are your go-to home for all things live music.

The musician will play a headline show at The Piece Hall in Halifax in June, a gig that will be followed by dates at Black Deer Festival in Kent, Nocturne Live in Oxfordshire and a further headline show at Hampton Court Palace.

Check out the full list of dates below and buy tickets for the shows, which are on sale now,  here . JUNE 13 – The Piece Hall, Halifax 15 – Black Deer Festival 16 – Nocturne Live at Blenheim Palace 18 – Hampton Court Palace Festival Back in November, Crow shared details of her new studio album, ’Evolution’, alongside her bouncy new single ‘Alarm Clock’.

‘Evolution’ will be the singer-songwriter’s 11th studio album and is set for release on March 29, 2024 via The Valory Music Group.

Speaking about the surprise return, Crow said in a social media statement: “This music and these lyrics came from sitting in the quiet and writing from a deep soul place. I said I’d never make another record, thought there was no point to it. But this music comes from my soul. And I hope whoever hears this record can feel that.”

“Everything is more song oriented now with streaming, and making an album is a huge endeavor,” she continued. “I started sending just a couple of demos to Mike, but the songs just kept flowing out of me and it was pretty obvious this was going to be an album.”

The album has been produced by Mike Elizondo ( Dr. Dre , Maroon 5 ), who also co-wrote ‘Alarm Clock’ with Crow and Emily Weisband.

Crow also stopped off on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month, performing ’Alarm Clock’ for the first time in public.

Crow was also inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month as part of the 2023 class that also included  Kate Bush , Missy Elliott , Rage Against the Machine , Willie Nelson,   George Michael  and The Spinners. Crow performed alongside Olivia Rodrigo during the induction ceremony in New York.

It is not the first time that Rodrigo and Crow will have played together. In September, they collaborated on a version of Crow’s 1996 hit ‘If It Makes You Happy’ , and last year, Crow presented Rodrigo with the Woman Of The Year Award at Billboard’s Women in Music Awards .

90s music legend, 57, announces first UK tour in five years

Janet Jackson will return to UK shores for the first time in half-a-decade later this year, as part of her extended Together Again Tour.

After making her name alongside her famous family in The Jacksons during the 70s, the musical icon soon launched her solo career and became one of the hottest names in the industry during the 80s and 90s.

The five-time Grammy winner has created hits such as Miss You Much, That’s The Way, Nasty, and the namesake for her current tour, Together Again. She last appeared in the UK in 2019 to perform her 20-song-long Glastonbury set.

In April 2023 she kicked off her Together Again Tour, commemorating her 50-year-long career, which will finally conclude the North American leg in Arizona in July.

Jackson will then jet off to Europe in September where she will perform in Birmingham , London , Manchester and Glasgow with special guest, rapper Wyclef Jean.

The Oscar-nominated singer-songwriter announced the UK dates in a social media post where she thanked fans for ‘making this my most successful tour to date’.

https://www.instagram.com/p/C6Vn4RHuqYa/?hl=en&img_index=1

‘Europe I know it’s been a minute since we’ve seen each other but the wait is no longer,’ she said in the video.

‘I cannot wait to see you guys, I miss you so much. We’ve had so much fun with this show so can’t wait to come and have some of that fun with you guys.’

She will play Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on September 27, London’s O2 Arena on September 28, Glasgow’s Ovo Hydro on September 30 and Manchester’s Co-op Live on October 1.

The acclaimed singer, who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 for her ‘successful and groundbreaking’ career, will end her tour in Amsterdam in October.

This year also marks 20 years since Jackson made headlines for her 2004 Super Bowl performance in which fellow artist Justin Timberlake exposed her breasts to the world in a poorly-received stunt.

In 2022, Jackson discussed the impact of the career-shaking moment in her Lifetime documentary titled Janet Jackson .

The documentary also touched on her relationship with late brother Michael Jackson, and featured appearances from stars such as Missy Elliot and Janelle Monae.

Prior to Glastonbury, Jackson performed in London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2011, making this tour leg across England and Scotland a true rarity.

Tickets for Janet Jackson’s UK tour will go on general sale from Friday, May 3, at 9am. They will be available to buy here .

Jamie Cullum has announced a new UK headline tour for November 2024. Fans can sign up for access to presale tickets , available from 10am on Wednesday, March 20, with general sale tickets going on sale on Friday, March 22 at 10am.

The tour will see Jamie play 14 shows across the country, starting at Bridgewater Hall, Manchester on Monday, November 11. Other dates include; The Barbican, York, Symphony Hall, Birmingham, The Beacon, Bristol, Swansea Arena, Regent Theatre, Ipswich, New Theatre, Oxford, Guildhall, Portsmouth, Royal Festival Hall, London, Armadillo, Glasgow, Concert Hall, Perth, Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham, and will conclude at Gateshead’s The Glasshouse International Centre for Music Sage 1 on Friday, November 29. The full tour routing below.

News of the tour comes after the artist made his multi-million selling 2003 album Twentysomething available on vinyl for the very first time last October. The re-issue came exactly 20 years after it was first released (October 20, 2003) and still holds the honor of being the fastest selling jazz album in chart history, with its sales in 2003 leading to Cullum becoming the UK’s highest selling jazz artist in history.

With over 10 million album sales to date and his successful BBC Radio 2 show, Jamie Cullum is globally celebrated, meeting loyal fans wherever he goes. His legendary live shows have seen him work alongside artists as diverse as Herbie Hancock , Pharrell Williams, Kendrick Lamar and Lang Lang, whilst the success of his major label breakthrough, Twentysomething and its follow up Catching Tales saw him nominated for a BRIT, Grammy and numerous other awards around the world. He recently won the Ivor Novello award for best song musically and lyrically for his song “The Age of Anxiety” from his critically acclaimed album Taller .

In addition to his enduringly successful recording career, he has also established himself as a multi-award winning music broadcaster. He approaches all aspects of his career, as he has from the beginning, as both a fan and a student with seemingly boundless creativity and enthusiasm.

Janet Jackson has announced she will be touring Europe this year, with multiple dates set for across the UK.

The “Together Again” tour marks the star’s 50 th anniversary in the industry as well as 35 years since her landmark 1989 album Rhythm Nation 1814 . It had previously been hinted that the singer would be revisiting the UK.

It will be the musician’s first major event in the UK since 2019, when she performed at Glastonbury as part of her world tour for the 30th anniversary of her hit record.

In a video message accompanying the announcement on Monday (29 April), Jackson said: “I just wanted to thank you for making this my most successful tour to date.

“And Europe, I know it’s been a minute since we’ve seen each other. But the wait is no longer, I will be taking the ‘Together Again’ tour all over Europe this fall.

“I cannot wait to see you guys, I miss you so much. We’ve had so much fun with this show, so can’t wait to come and have some of that fun with you guys.”

Fans were delighted, and expressed excitement within minutes of the announcement, wity many writing: “Finally!”

“I’ll be there with bells on! Hotel and transport booked,” said one supporter.

“We have been starved!!!” added another.

Supporters were determined that the anticipated rush for tickets wouldn’t hinder their efforts.

“Janet Jackson has announced another UK tour. Is the fact she is notorious for cancelling her shows going to stop me from frantically searching for tickets on Friday morning…” said one Jackson fan along with a gif of the star saying “No.”

Others said they had waited years for the opportunity to see her.

“I’m so scared I won’t get tickets that my anxiety has shot through the roof. I’ve prayed for times like this for years.”

The “Control” singer will continue the 10-date event with gigs in European cities Antwerp, Munich, Cologne and Berlin before concluding in Amsterdam.

The North American leg, opened by “Dilemma” artist Nelly, launched in April and will continue throughout the US and Canada until July.

Meanwhile, the European tour will be supported by The Fugees member Wyclef Jean, except for the London date for which a supporting act is yet to be announced.

‘The working class can’t afford it’: the shocking truth about the money bands make on tour

As Taylor Swift tops $1bn in tour revenue, musicians playing smaller venues are facing pitiful fees and frequent losses. Should the state step in to save our live music scene?

W hen you see a band playing to thousands of fans in a sun-drenched festival field, signing a record deal with a major label or playing endlessly from the airwaves, it’s easy to conjure an image of success that comes with some serious cash to boot – particularly when Taylor Swift has broken $1bn in revenue for her current Eras tour. But looks can be deceiving. “I don’t blame the public for seeing a band playing to 2,000 people and thinking they’re minted,” says artist manager Dan Potts. “But the reality is quite different.”

Post-Covid there has been significant focus on grassroots music venues as they struggle to stay open. There’s been less focus on the actual ability of artists to tour these venues. David Martin, chief executive officer of the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC), says we’re in a “cost-of-touring crisis”. Pretty much every cost attached to touring – van hire, crew, travel, accommodation, food and drink – has gone up, while fees and audiences often have not. “[Playing] live is becoming financially unsustainable for many artists,” he says. “Artists are seeing [playing] live as a loss leader now. That’s if they can even afford to make it work in the first place.”

Potts, who works at Red Light Management – home to everyone from Sabrina Carpenter to Kaiser Chiefs and Sofia Kourtesis – feels like there is an industry equivalent of the Spider-Man meme in which they are all pointing to one another. “People who work at labels think bands make loads of money touring, while booking agents think they make loads of money on publishing and so on,” he says. “Everyone thinks artists make money from the other side of the industry they’re not involved in.

“Artists are the biggest employers in the industry. They pay for the tour manager, session musicians, agent, manager, crew, insurance, travel, accommodation, equipment, rehearsal space, production. Everything. I don’t think people know this is all the stuff that the artist pays for and does.”

“Greater transparency is needed,” says Lily Fontaine, lead singer of Leeds band English Teacher. On paper, the four-piece appear to have made it. They are signed with a major label, Island, have played on Later With … Jools Holland, get healthy BBC Radio 6Music airplay, their debut album has received five-star reviews and they are about to embark on their biggest tour to date, which includes an 800-capacity home-town show.

“The reality is that it’s normal for all of these achievements to coexist alongside being on Universal Credit, living at home or sofa surfing,” says Fontaine. During the making of their debut album, she and bandmate Lewis Whiting did the latter while unable to afford rent.

In their four years of existence, English Teacher have yet to turn a profit from touring. “We’ve never directly paid ourselves from a gig,” says Whiting. “A headline tour usually comes out with a deficit. The only thing that we ever make any kind of profit on is festivals, because the fees can be higher, but any money left over just goes towards the next outgoings.” A successful show for the group in the past has been defined by whether they can flog enough merch to afford a supermarket food shop.

So how do they survive? “In the world of artists, we’re in a lucky position,” says Whiting. “We try to pay ourselves £500 a month each from the band pot.” However, they’ve been reliant on their advance for this, which is now gone. “We’re now in that stage where we’re gonna have to figure out where that £500 a month is gonna come from,” says Fontaine. “Because the gig fees won’t be able to cover that.” The band estimate that their 16-date UK tour in May will generate roughly £800 profit. But, says Fontaine, “realistically, I don’t think there will be any profit because things always go over budget”.

For many artists, fees aren’t increasing in line with costs. “There’s been no real incline at all,” says Potts. “For support slots, I don’t think the fees have changed in the last 10 years or so that I’ve been managing, whether that’s £50 at the smaller end or £500 quid for some of the biggest shows.” Fees for headline shows can vary enormously for bands, even on the same tour. Playing a 200-capacity club in Newcastle may land you £600, while a 1,500 cap in London may net you £3,000.

And fewer people are coming to shows at the small-to-mid-sized end of things. “In our audience data, we see there is a gap in new audiences coming through post-pandemic,” says the FAC’s Martin. “As well as a bit of a drop-off in some of the older audiences returning to live shows.” However, despite stagnant fees and shrinking audiences, touring activity in the UK is at a peak. Due to the costs of touring Europe (which can be thousands in taxes and carnet alone) 74% fewer UK bands are now touring Europe post-Brexit. “It’s much more difficult to tour in Europe so there are more artists trying to perform domestically,” says Martin. “That creates a saturation problem.”

For this article, the Guardian has seen 12 tour budget sheets for various bands and artists varying from up-and-comers to firmly established and successful acts, all of whom regularly undertake headline tours across the UK in venues ranging from 150 to 2,500 capacity. Almost all of these result in losses. Understandably, most shared their balance sheets on the condition of anonymity. One four-piece indie band, whose last two albums went Top 10 in the UK charts, reported a loss of £2,885 from a six-day UK tour. The only tour that shows anything resembling healthy profit was a 29-date tour for a solo artist who came away with £6,550. Not bad going for a month’s work but, as Martin points out, “that’s then his touring done for the next six months. So it’s not enough money.”

Nubiyan Twist are a nine-piece Afro-jazz outfit who have a loyal following and tens of millions of streams on Spotify, “We pride ourselves on being able to put on a big show, like your Fela Kutis or James Browns, these epic spectacles,” says bandleader Tom Excell. “But it’s getting more difficult, without a shadow of a doubt.” For an upcoming eight-show tour of Europe, they are predicting a loss of £4,931.28. The only way they can justify doing it is because they got funding from the BPI Music Export Growth Scheme. “I would have just pulled the plug if it wasn’t for that,” says Excell. “I’ve got a two-year-old and I can’t be away from home for that long and come back with a loss.”

Even when the band get more lucrative fees for festivals it’s still tough. They will be paid £5,000 for a festival performance this summer but the total profit after band wages (as Excell pays all his band members in full first) expenses and commissions are paid out will be £277.60. “After four albums and 15 years doing this, to still be having to gamble on whether I’m going to make anything, while everyone else gets paid a guaranteed amount, is a struggle,” admits Excell.

Such thin margins leave little wiggle room, as the space-surf band Japanese Television (who headline 100-300 capacity venues) found out when their booking agent reduced their 13-date UK and EU tour to eight shows with a five-day gap in the middle that will add a further loss of around £1,200 to a tour that is already set to lose them around £700. “Records and T-shirts are basically what keeps us going,” says the band’s Tim Jones. “The only way this tour is working for us is because we just put out our second album and we did about 60 presales on the vinyl and that was basically enough to pay for the van. It’s a hobby that just about pays for itself.”

after newsletter promotion

The question is: who else will be able to afford to pursue music as a hobby? “It depresses me how many middle and upper class people there are in the music industry,” says manager Potts. “Because the working class just can’t afford to fork out £150 a day for van hire. The only artists doing that are people who have deeper pockets and can afford to take the hit.”

Of course, every act is different in terms of what they justify as reasonable outgoings and not everyone has the same costs, but Potts says from his experience, generally speaking, bands with four or five members now need to be playing 2,000+ capacity venues nationwide to “really start to see things tip”. That tipping point is out of reach for the majority. “Most people don’t actually get to that level,” Potts says. “Just look back at any festival lineup from 10-20 years ago and see which names are still on festival bills and how many you’re like: what happened to them?”

The gap between those who are flying and those who are floundering has become even more stark. “It feels like the top 1% have become the top 0.5%,” says Martin. “The level of artists we’re talking about here that are struggling to make things stack up financially would really surprise people.”

In 2022, the Grammy-winning Pakistani singer Arooj Aftab posted on X: “Touring has been amazing. We headlined a ton, had massive turnouts and have proven ourselves in all the markets. Yet still, running tens of thousands in debt from the tour and I’m being told that it’s ‘normal’. Why is this normal? This should not be normalised.”

I’m told that one US artist – who released one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2023, which went Top 10 and placed very highly on numerous year-end polls and was nominated for a major award – worked out that the only way she could make her UK tour work was by sub-letting her home.

It’s a far cry from Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras jaunt. “The very high end of the live industry is reporting record profits,” says Martin. “You can’t have a healthy music ecosystem where at one end you’ve got people going ‘we’ve made more money than we’ve ever made’ and at the other end you’ve got relatively successful artists that are sofa-surfing while signed to a major label.”

Is there an answer? “When you’re touring Europe, you realise how much state funding in the arts there is,” says Excell. “It really needs more state funding and support from the top down.”

Martin echoes this. “The government needs to start looking at spending money on the music industry as an investment rather than as a cost,” he says. “But you also need to support a sector in a time of crisis. And this is a time of crisis.”

Singer olivia o'brien uses 'viral boob moment' at lakers game to promote music, singer olivia o'brien thanks for liking my boobs ... now stream my music.

Singer Olivia O'Brien is capitalizing off her viral fame after attending the Lakers game this weekend ... telling all the horn dogs following her for her boobs to stream her music.

The "Josslyn" artist was present for L.A.'s home playoff game against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday ... and at one point in the contest, she was spotted in the background of the broadcast.

Screenshots quickly made rounds on social media ... and eventually, O'Brien was ID'd as the fan that got NBA Twitter/X all excited.

Her attendance at the game apparently resulted in an influx of followers on Instagram ... 'cause the next day, she addressed the situation.

"Hello to all of my new followers after my viral boob moment!" O'Brien said on Sunday. "While I still have you here ... go stream my new song!"

O'Brien shared the Spotify link to her track, "blip" ... and welcomed her new fans with open arms -- even if they aren't her usual demographic.

But she's got everyone's back ... helping out by sharing a link to another tune they might recognize her from -- "i hate u, i love you" -- a collab with Gnash from 2016.

"And since I am assuming most of you are men (not my typical audience) you may also know me from this song from back in the day. Thanks for the boob appreciation now let's get to streaming, boys."
