It\u2019s safe to say concerts are back in full swing, with countless artists currently on the road or announcing their tour.\u00a0 This can be overwhelming, especially for those who haven\u2019t had a chance to experience one.\u00a0 There are plenty of concert videos out there but it\u2019s hard to know what it\u2019s really like until you\u2019re surrounded by people sweating profusely in the best way possible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Expect to do a lot of waiting. You\u2019ll likely want to get to the venue before doors open, half an hour to an hour is probably a reasonable amount of time depending on your tickets and how much you care about seats.\u00a0 Expect parking to take a while and be prepared to walk a little bit.\u00a0 You\u2019ll want to wear comfortable shoes anyways because everyone will be standing and dancing along, and you wouldn\u2019t want to miss out on that!\u00a0 And yes, cute outfits are a part of the concert experience, but you can make it work without uncomfortable shoes.\u00a0 In general, comfort should be a priority because you will, of course, get very hot.\u00a0 Crop tops and ripped jeans seem to be a good, basic outfit.\u00a0 Of course, if it\u2019s colder outside you may want a flannel or jacket that you can take off.\u00a0 It may be best if this is something of lesser value though since if you\u2019re taking it off and putting it down, there is a chance of it getting lost or stolen.\u00a0 With that in mind, remember most concert venues only allow small, clear bags so bring only essentials, like a charged phone and your wallet, maybe some chapstick.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once you\u2019re in, you\u2019ll likely still be waiting for a bit, if you have seats that you can leave and come back to, this is a time when many people will be roaming around, looking at the merch stands and going to the bathroom.\u00a0 The merch stands will likely be out of your budget but concerts are a good time to splurge, and either way it\u2019s fun to look.\u00a0 If you\u2019re unable to leave your seat or standing place, now is a good time to do last minute research to make sure you know the words to sing and scream along to.\u00a0 Expect to scream a lot and probably lose your voice as well as maybe your hearing temporarily, and to use up a lot of phone storage.\u00a0 You will also likely be hungry and quite exhausted afterwards but also expect to have a lot of fun!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Karen Kohler It\u2019s safe to say concerts are back in full swing, with countless artists currently on the road or announcing their tour.\u00a0 This can be overwhelming, especially for those who haven\u2019t had a chance to experience one.\u00a0 There are plenty of concert videos out there but it\u2019s hard to know what it\u2019s really […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":7152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[10],"class_list":["post-7151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-wellness","category-lifestyle","tag-summer2019"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Photo-for-Karens-article.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brackety-ack.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
