Would you go to a gig at 60?

[Restaurantcritic]

Well 59 actually. There’s a band I really like who have quite a youngish audience I think but I really like them and want to see them live.

Would me and DH be a pair of saddos and stick out like a sore thumb? Or is our age irrelevant. I won’t be down the mosh pit I hasten to add!

I'm 69 and going to a concert.

At that wonderful age where I couldn't give a fuck. 😁

Im not much of a gig goer but my brother and sil are almost 70 and they still go to loads of gigs. Sil calls herself the oldest rocker in town 😂

Get yourself tickets OP and enjoy!

Offs! I'm 59 and go to gigs all the time! Wouldn't enter my head not to! Sometimes I I even go with my 24 year son (at his invite if it's a band we both like).

Go out til 3am, travel, get drunk if you want to, wear the latest trends and makeup.

What do you think you should be doing at 59? Knitting yourself a twin set?

Please tell me you've booked your ticket after reading these!! If not, yes, go!! I know loads of people who see bands in their 60s and up. My parents go regularly in their mid 70s.

I went to see George Ezra on my own at 60. There were all ages from small children to an old couple who looked about 80.

Everybody had a great time.

To add I'm 30s and it's lovely having a mix of ages at gigs

Act your age and go see Andre Rieu instead.

It's actually beautiful music.

Ageist thread.

I saw BB King when he was around 80.

Blessed.

We're over 50 and still well in the mosh pit for gigs and festivals. We've got 3 gigs together in November, plus another for DH.
@Holiday24 good on your mum for going to Rammstein, one of the most spectacular shows I have ever seen, even if I'm not a massive fan of theirs

Good grief! I'm 66 and I still go to occasional heavy metal gigs. Whyever would I stop just because I'm getting older?

Of course !

I feel daft now even worrying about it! I took my neice and her mates to Taylor Swift recently and there was a huge cross section of ages. Band I want to see is Fontaines DC. (I’m an ex punk and love raucous music!)

I have friends who are 59 and still go clubbing. Go for it x

I saw him 8 times in 13 months, big fan.
I go to around 20 gigs a year on my own and love it.

Dh and I always go to gigs together. I don’t even think about the age of others
If I like a band I will go

My fantastic mother is 60 and she still goes to gigs, big and small, at least once a month, and can keep up with the best of them. Go for it op, have fun and do what you want to do!

At 50 you should no longer give a shit what anyone thinks .

My dads coming to a gig with me and my brother in November. Dad is 77

You set your limits. Not society

Yes. Of course
I am 49 and go to a lot. Many of my friends are in their 50s.
We are not the oldest.
There is a band we see often. The lead singer is 80.

Definitely go, they're amazing. The new album is fantastic.

No, I don't think you should go. You'll be showing yourselves up and upsetting everyone else by being there.

NOT!

I'm 66. I go to gigs. No-one gives a damn. Most of them are there to enjoy the music and the rest just want a night out. Go, and enjoy yourselves!

Fuck it - go for it. I think there will be a very mixed crowd for Fontaines DC.

I was at a gig last night. My ears are still ringing but I bloody loved it

Should have said I am 52

Ha! I've just bought my father a ticket to a gig for his upcoming 76th birthday. The artist is only a few years younger than that, but he's still rocking.
