What Concerts Are You Going To In The Next Few Months

Tristan_Geoff · 08-03-2016, 11:20 AM

Alright so I'm thinking about just buying a day pass but idk what I should do. Only three acts I wanna see on Thursday (Converge, Television, and Coathangers), Friday seems like the day with the most acts I wanna see, and then Saturday has a few acts I wanna see.

I'm leaning towards Friday but I don't wanna miss Converge or Television. What should I do?

Edit: Looking at the single ticket prices, Thursday is $40, Friday is split in two depending on the headliners (Erykah Badu, Gary Clark Jr./Beach House/Anderson .Paak) 60 and 50 respectively, and then 45 on Saturday with Vince Staples. I don't know anything about Wolf Parade and Wye Oak but I'll look into it because that day seems like the best option.

I would go on Friday as well since there are more good artists (though those two would be great to see).

If he's going for two days it'd be cheaper to buy the full weekend pass I think.

Did you read my edit? I really wanna see Friday but idk if I wanna miss Converge and Television. Being the cheapest ticket too it's looking really appealing.

$165 for the weekend DUDE JUST DO IT. Osheaga was almost double that and I talked myself into it, so stop being a bitch.

Not necessarily. Full wristband is $165...

Damn I also just noticed that those single day prices I just listed above were for headliners only. Wristbands are $85 for full Thursday.

Yeah, so my problem with that is tickets are probably already sold out for that. Also I won't have enough cash for a bit, so they might sell out before I get it.

Damn, that sucks. Saturday has the most acts I'd like to see, but I find that overall the lineup for the weekend seems kind of unbalanced, I'm a little surprised to be honest. It would suck missing Converge, and Television probably (if I finally got around to listening to them) but are you prepared to sacrifice quality for quantity?

Being as the wristband for that day is $85 anyways I don't think seeing 5 acts would be worth it. I'm gonna take my chances and just save up for the tickets.

Went to my first Punk show not too long ago with a friend. It was my third show total (the first was me taking my sisters place in North Sea Jazz festival as she couldn't go, and the second was a friend bringing who spontaniously got to some club for free as he knew someone who worked there, there were 3 indie rock bands or some ****).

It was Bad Religion in Amsterdam (Melkweg) and they were ****ing awesome. My friend is a lot more of a fan of them than me, so I didn't expect it to be as fun as it was.
