Concerts Tickets

It is said that music is the food for the soul and there will hardly be any person in the world who does not enjoy music of any kind. Some people love the sweet sound of country music while some prefers hard-hitting rock and metal beats. Some are drawn towards the culturally rich folk music while others like the catchy notes of pop. Not to forget the mind blowing rapping style that has gradually become one of the most commercially viable music genres ever. The best way to enjoy these and other various genres of music is to attend live concerts and catch some amazing singers and bands enthralling the audience with their stimulating live performances. The experience of a live concert cannot be replicated through studio recordings or internet downloads, so make sure that you get the real essence of music by booking concert tickets of your favorite star.
 
Concert performances can be categorized according to the genre, length and nature of the concert. There are single concerts and extensive tours, whereas single concert may comprises of two days or more. Most of the singers and music bands prefer live tours to promote their latest albums. These tours include a series of concerts in different cities of the selected region where the artist travels and perform live for their fans. Then there are reunion and comeback concerts that feature the once-disbanded groups. Some artists also tie-in with other musicians and perform together. Another popular trend is to invite other bands/artists as an opening act or a guest performer. There are many other categories and ways concerts and are held throughout the world. In some regions, live music events surpass even sports and theater in terms of popularity. In USA and Canada, concert tickets remain one of the most sought-after live events tickets and concert industry collects huge revenue every year.  
 
The history of live concerts is perhaps as old as that of the history of entertainment; however, the focus has always remained on providing topnotch entertainment to the audience by all possible means. In the past, many historic concerts are held that have received gates-shattering response and created new records. The Rolling Stones, U2, AC/DC, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Eagles, and Bruce Springsteen have repeatedly created records through their concerts in terms of attendance and tickets sales. U2’s 360 Tour of 2009-11 is currently the highest-grossing concert tour by an artist or a band with an average gross figure of 6.7 million dollars. There have also been some iconic concerts in the past that have set the trend for further events of the same nature. For example, a charity show was held at the Wembley Stadium in 1985 by the name of Live Aid Charity Concert. This 16 hours long concert featured Queen, U2, Paul McCartney and David Bowie and kicked off the trend of charity concerts throughout the world. Similarly, the 1996 concert by Oasis at Knebworth became a defining moment for Britpop. Before that, Elvis Presley and The Beatles became the greatest examples of British music craze and their concerts were consistent sellouts.
 
Over the years, concerts have been carefully planned to match the artist’s persona. We have seen some spectacularly designed shows featuring elaborate stage, dazzling lights and state-of-the-art acoustic settings. Even some less-hyped events and small budgeted gigs have managed to garner great response from concertgoers. Novelty has also remained a major factor in the making of historic concerts. Perhaps the biggest example of novel concert idea can be of the Rooftop Concert by The Beatles where the band caused hysteria on the streets and had to be stopped by the police. The idea of creating albums based on live concerts has also been followed by most of the artists. The Who takes center stage here as their 1970 concert Live At Leeds earned them the Number One spot at the Rolling Stone’s list of Best Live Albums of All Time. Live recordings got a further makeover with MTV’s Unplugged series which has featured some spectacular performers such as Paul McCartney, Pearl Jam, Eric Clapton, Nirvana, Bob Dylan and others. Perhaps the biggest example of a regular live concert series can be of Grand Ole Opry which offers a weekly feast for country music fans.
 
Although at its core, a concert means a live performance by one or more artists or bands in front of live audience; but over the years, the style and presentation of concerts have evolved a lot. Today, we have a variety of concerts ranging from small gigs in local venues to massive and exuberant live tours. Besides single concert and extensive tours, artists also prefer to perform in different theme-based festivals. Such festivals garner huge interest because they combine different bands/singers at one platform, capturing the attention of a huge segment of music listeners. The Coachella Festival of California, International Jazz Festival of Montreal, BONNAROO Music Festival of Tennessee and LOLLAPALOOZA of Chicago are among the hot favorite festivals of US based concertgoers. The popularity of summer concerts has also soared around the world while amateur music fests are also held regularly to promote new talent.
