Discussion: Worst concert experience? - Page 9

Skins

Kanye West at FYF. I was so excited to see him for a second time but Los Angeles crowds are ****ing crazy, people started moshing, the entire crowd started leaning to the left and people were falling on the floor, people were opening water bottles and throwing them everywhere

When I saw Marina and the Diamonds during the Electra Heart tour. She slayed but after the show I waited outside when it was ****ing freezing for an hour and a half for her to come out so I could meet her. There was this ugly fat Marina stan with a heart drawn on his face who kept screaming at us "If you were a real Marina fan you'd leave her alone and let her rest!" Her manager came out and said Marina was tired was not going to come out so I finally left...The next ****ing day I found out she actually did come out and took pictures with fans

I wanted to die

Hell no! I've only ever been told to sit down at one show in my life and it was at Cher. The people behind me were up for probably the first song and then sat for the rest of the show and I could hear them say 'Is he going to stand all night?' 'He probably thinks he'll get to stand all night'.

So I turned back and said 'Your damn right I'm going to stand all night. I paid for this show and I'll enjoy it however I want. So unless you want to look at my ass all night you better stand up too.' They didn't but you could hear them complain.

Sorry, but when you paid for a SEAT you should sit, unless the whole crowd stands up

That's like saying "I'll enjoy the concert I paid for any way I want so I'll just blast some other music over it and scream my neighbors in the ears."

Rude people like you deserve a whole basketball team standing in front of you at your next oncert tbh.

Katy's California Dreams Tour was amazing, but I stupidly tried to get to the front and it was just CHAOS. Some girls beat another girl up with their high heels and it was on the news.

Well that's how you might choose to enjoy it, but I didn't pay to act lifeless. Are you expecting the first 10 rows to be sitting down at a pop show?

Artists thrive on that kind of excitement from the crowd and some even call out fans for just being still.

Sit down concerts are so lame

I don't attend concerts of people I don't really love. My Dad once took me to see Black Eyed Peas at the O2 in like 2006, they were terrible and extremely dull.

I went to see steps

it was pretty **** but we were super drunk, so it was kinda fun

Listen, you little bitch. Sitting down is an optional thing at concerts. You don't have to sit in your seat. We pay for seats when we get tired of standing or when it is most appropriate. I'll enjoy the concert my way and you enjoy your boring ass way. Good day.

Well, this doesn't count, but I'm currently waiting close to an hour and a half for Radiohead tickets.

When will your fave sell out 35,000 seats in seconds? Omg, legends!

I've had a few, but most haven't been the artist's fault.

The Pretty Reckless, 2012:
This was my second time seeing them. I bought a VIP ticket and got to meet them. They were all ****** people and the meet and greet was so boring and impersonal. The show itself was good, but I was pretty disappointed.

Santigold, 2012:
Well, first of all she cancelled the show the day before when I had rearranged my schedule for it. When the show finally happened months later, I was front row. I had people pushing against me the whole show. When she invited people on stage for Creator, it got super messy. I had people pulling me backwards by my shirt and trying to climb over me. I kept elbowing and stomping people's feet. Then, she realized how messy it was and just started performing the song, and the whole crowd pushed forward. My ribs were pushing against the barrier so hard. I was so pissed.

Also, Teen opened for her. I met them after the show, and Teeny was roasting the rest of the band. I asked for an album at the merch stand, and Jane was like, "

I'm sorry about that.... Did you want it signed?" I felt so bad for them.

Kanye West, 2013:
His set was great, but he went on this super long rant about Nike being racist. It was at least 45 minutes to an hour long.

Madonna, 2016:
Her set was fantastic and I loved her, but she was so ****ing late. I almost left. And the section I sat in was so empty, and there were these obnoxious drunk people next to me. Also, the crowd was dull and lifeless when she was performing. No wonder she didn't perform in Nashville before.

Sky Ferreira met fans who were waiting before her show and I showed up like 15 minutes after that happened

This happened to me, too.

I was like 5 minutes late.

Rihanna a few years back. I really don't remember which tour because I went to three different ones in a row with some friend, but Rihanna threw phones into the audience and I got hit in the head with one.

qwvwvewgvewgewvgfew

for me Id say:

The Monster Tour Aug 17 @ Metlife Stadium.

I LOVE Rih and everything but that concert just wasnt worth my time. I also dont know any Eminem songs outside of a few and his fans are dead and unbearable and didnt sing loud enough with me to Rih's hits. I was the only black person in my section I just didnt feel safe standing in the mix of so many.... republicans.

BSPEARSUK

Rihanna Diamonds Tour
Literally she was just grinding around the stage half singing attempting to dance just a mess. It was outside too, standing & people were rowdy plus she swore so much

Skin&Bone

Miley Gypsy Heart Tour

Not her fault, but I came expecting a much older/cooler audience since Miley was already sexier and stuff, but I arrived and there was only kids wearing Hannah Montana shirts and their parents who didn't move the whole concert and seemed outraged when Miley came in wearing only a bra

The sound was messy too, the kids screaming were louder than Miley, and Miley looked bored AF for most of it, and also the most expensive concert I've ever been too.

When I saw Gaga, three girls behind me and my friend were CHUGGING frozen margaritas. It was the Monster Ball, and right before the piano portion, one girl blew chunks all over my friend's back and it was all over the floor. Thankfully, my friend had bought a t-shirt, so she went to the bathroom and changed, and the girls got escorted out. But I was standing in vomit and trying to enjoy singing along to You & I. It was horrible.

In regards to being told to sit down:

This summer, I saw Lana and Grimes. I was ecstatic because they are two of my favorite artists, so when Grimes came out, I was dancing and having a blast while everyone else was on their phones or still getting food/beer/merch. The pavilion was half-empty because so many people were still arriving. But this old drunk white man kept screaming at me and calling me "pink" because I was wearing pink shorts, and he was saying a lot of disgusting things. Then, he came down, put his hands on my shoulders, and breathed his disgusting drunk breath in my ear, telling me to sit down. But I kept dancing because I had been looking forward to finally seeing Grimes for years. The girls behind me (who were also sitting) started cussing him out though, which was fun. And he sat the whole time during Lana's set even though EVERYONE was standing.

daydreams

Ferras opening at KP's Prismatic Tour was absolutely horrific, people starting leaving and chanting "Katy". Fortunately, Kacey Musgraves and the main set more than made up for it.
Also, TS's 1989 Tour was a big letdown after Red imo. Was just way too over-the-top, e.g. showing videos of her friends talking about how great she is was just uncomfortable.
