We are going to see GNR at Wembley in June. My son wants to wear cargo trousers!!?? Ok? Me, I’m thinking black jeans and black T-shirt? Thoughts?

Nobody is going to care what you’re wearing . Honestly you’re over thinking this. Wear whatever you like

AwakeNotThruChoice · 05/02/2025 22:58

I’ve been to a couple of GnR concerts. You could wear anything to be honest!

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 05/02/2025 22:59

Either is fine - is it a stadium concert? It may be hot in June ?

Thesquaregiraffe · 05/02/2025 23:03

Being a bit of a “rocker”‘I’ve always worn black jeans and T-shirts to rock concerts (but that was the 80’s) maybe things have changed since then 😀

I would find jeans too hot if the weather was hot and would go for cargoes.

Crazycatlady79 · 05/02/2025 23:31

I wore black jeans 24/7 and my then boyfriend wore combats 24/7back in 01/02 when we saw Guns 'n Roses and no-one (including us) gave a flying fuck what we were wearing, as we were there for the experience.
For the love of God...

Why is it something as simple as picking what clothes to wear such a big deal that a decision can't be made without asking on the internet these days?

LegArmpits · 05/02/2025 23:38

All I remember from seeing them in Milton Keynes circa 1993 is I wore brand new Puma trainers (turquoise) and people were throwing cups of piss around. Then our car got stuck in the mud and it took hours to leave the venue.

You are definitely overthinking this 😂

Ps don't wear new trainers.

@Thesquaregiraffe

Wembley stadium 😁

Sorry - you did say in your OP 🤦‍♀️

Definitely wait til closer to the time to choose - probably shorts and a rain poncho then!

x2boys · 06/02/2025 10:41

Anything your comfortable in I went to see them in 2006 when I was 20 weeks pregnant big mistake
Not helped by Axl being very late on stage.

HarrietJonesFlydaleNorth · 06/02/2025 10:45

Not entirely sure why so many exclamation marks and question marks over cargo trousers?

What are you concerned about OP? Is it heat/cold/comfort related? Otherwise I'm not really sure why what you wear is even important?

Sahara123 · 06/02/2025 10:52

Why on earth are you worrying about what to wear to a concert in June, it’s February!!
Both if you wear whatever you want, no one else will care !!

Mielikki · 06/02/2025 10:52

Cargo trousers or cargo shorts if it is hot are always a good bet for an outdoor gig in summer.

What a nonsense post.

You wore black jeans in the 80s because that's what you wanted to wear.

Your son can wear cargos for the same reason.....he's not suggesting a mankini!!

Floralnomad · 06/02/2025 11:01

Whatever is most comfortable , nobody else who attends will either notice or care .

coolkatt · 06/02/2025 11:06

So!!!! I GET YA!!!!!
I have a bad obsession over what I'm wearing, we are doing Munich in June, planning - black jeans, guns n roses t shirt, gnr at the top, then skull with slash hat, it has metal bits on it for decor. Defo my cowboy boots. Also have a fringed jacket but thinking it will be too warm for that. And I will have a red bandana just for a couple of fun pics! Heavy make up!!
Hubby is wearing jeans trainers and the round classic GNR T-shirt.
Have a blast!!

Because it's GUNS N fucking ROSES man!!!!!

Globusmedia · 06/02/2025 11:09

Are you standing or seated?

I would imagine Guns n Roses at Wembley won't be as 'rock' as you're imagining.

BoldBlueZebra · 06/02/2025 11:15

I would go cargos for the pocket space

borntobequiet · 06/02/2025 11:19

Wear a nice floral dress to stand out in the crowd.

👋 I was there. If I remember right The Cult came on and it started pissing down and didn't stop. I wore leggings and a t shirt and had to sit sopping wet down to my underwear on the 4 hour coach drive home.

Glittertwins · 06/02/2025 11:19

What ever has the most number of secure pockets!

Haha this! It's not a Slayer concert 🤣 be lots of 'trendies' there too no doubt!

Glittertwins · 06/02/2025 11:23

I look like one of the "trendies" nowadays. I guess I sold out 😆
