TheGrudge [Edit] [Delete] 28 replies 12:49, 3 January '12

I'm interested to find out who are the big gig goers on this site.

I went to 199 last year.

134 in London
2 in Glasgow
SxSW Festival in Austin, Texas
1 in Amsterdam
8 in Coventry
5 in Brighton
4 in Birmingham
3 in Notingham

Also saw gigs in Bristol, Cambridge, Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, Northampton, Leamington

  • Check out Mr Big Stuff...

    Couldn't find that last one to get to the double ton?

    Not much point me posting really cos I probably only managed just about a tenth of your total, all in Notts or Derby.

    So ignore me, I'm bored

  • I went to about 60, I think,

    plus I went to Primavera, Field Day and ATP:TNBC too.

    Not quite as many as 2010 (when I also went to SXSW), but not a bad average.

  • Bloody hell, I'm not going thru last year's diary...

    ...to suss that out. Probably went to circa 100, including Latitude and Bestival. Aside from London, saw gigs in Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton, Edinburgh and Berlin.

  • Probably about 60 last year

    as I'm slowing down compared to a few years ago. I can't quite manage the three-in-a-rows like I used to.

  • probably about 10

    199 - thats mental

    chris-budget | 3 Jan '12, 14:29 | X
  • around 15

    if festivals count as one gig, not lots of individual gigs...

    politelydeclined | 3 Jan '12, 14:33 | X
  • 34, with festivals included as 1.

    that'll be well over 100 bands. still, not much compared to 199 gigs. what bands did you like most? what music gives you that much enthusiasm?

      TheGrudge @furryfan | 4 Jan '12, 10:50 | X
      • Ahhh… you’ve counted the SXSW shows as separate gigs.

        marckee @TheGrudge | 4 Jan '12, 10:57 | X
        • Which is kind of fair enough

          SXSW is different from something like ATP & not really that different from going to see a band in somewhere like Old Street or Camden & then going off to another gig in the same area after.

          Used to average 60+ myself, but probably down to 20 or so now (^This to Silentcommand)

          Poprivet @marckee | 4 Jan '12, 12:52 | X
      • I went to...

        ...two of the same gigs as you :)

    199 averages more than one every other day.

    I salute you.

  • You must be loaded!

    199 gigs, average of a tenner each? Possibly more given the amount in london. Then all the travel, must be getting on for 4 or 5k in total.

    Last Fm suggests I went to 14 plus ATP, but they were a good 14. Most I've ever managed in a year is prob about 40, 14 is about average these days, all part of living in a small town in middle of nowhere.

  • Impressive

    But did you do anything else last year apart from go to gigs?

    I probably averaged one every couple of weeks, plus Primavera and Green Man. Not a particularly busy year.

    • My life pretty much revolves around music.

      I do meet up with non gig going friends to catch up from time to time tho'.

  • I've really slacked

    looking at my last fm, I went to 12 gigs and Primavera and Yes Way

    I think I read more books last year than went to gigs

  • 2 (including reading festival)

    i didn't have the time, effort, money, or friends that liked the same music as me, and its horribly inconvenient as i don't live in a city. i already have 6 booked for 2012 though which is better.

    • According to Facebook...

      ...I also have 104 friends! Man alive, today is all about degrees of separation for me.

  • Going through last.fm and counting festivals as single events

    51 in 2011
    134 in 2010

    I've really slacked off.

  • Mine have fallen since I became a town councillor, and joined 3 sub-committees

    However, counting each day of as a festival as one, and including concerts & WHPs I went to 197. I had a forced period of absence June - Aug while my Dad was ill. Of those 197 about 25 were essentially dance events, but all with live acts.

    Locations:

    Mostly Manchester & Salford, but also :
    Liverpool 5
    Sheffield 14
    London 6
    Coventry 1
    Leeds 6

    Festivals 25 days

  • 1- Mogwai in Seoul

    Mostly because I'm trying to save money, and as I didn't live in London it was always a pain in the arse to get there and back at night. There's a few decent looking gigs coming up here in Seoul though, although Beirut is playing when I'm on holiday in Taiwan :(
