What to wear to an outdoor gig

[Teawithfrenchtoast]

I’m going to outdoor concert in Belfast at the end of June, any ideas what I should wear? It’s a standing gig and I want to be comfortable but feel good with how I look.

Depends what kind of gig it is....folk, rock, classical.

Good shoes, as you’ll be standing around.

Folk - jeans, slight boho look
Heavy metal - black T-shirts
Jazz - slightly smarter (although only been to Cheltenham jazz festival, which is a smarter place to be)

Nice weather - maxi dress or midi dress
v hot weather - shorts, mini dress

It’s the Cure, so no sequins and stetsons! I like the idea of a maxi dress. I did think denim shorts and a band tshirt if it’s hot but DH doesn’t think you should wear the same band tshirt as the band you’re seeing to a gig 😕

What? Every gig I've ever been to has been a sea of band t-shirts from that band

Probably wellies and a rain coat! Only kidding hopefully. Enjoy. Wear what your comfy in

I'm going to that too! No idea what I'll be wearing, prob a winter coat and bringing an umbrella. Last time I went to an outdoor gig in Belfast was last August and I think I wore jeans, trainers, t shirt and warmish raincoat which I was quite glad of.

Depends on the weather but I’d go jeans and t shirt and birks and a light jacket or shorts and T-shirt if warm, decent trainers if wet.

Maxi dress could be a bit cumbersome if you’re hovering over a blocked portaloo. Although in my recent experience they are kept a lot cleaner than they used to be.
I wear shorts, top in bright colour so friends can find me in a crowd and closed toe shoes eg Vans if it’s dry, wellies if it’s wet. Take long sleeves for later and waterproof which is also handy to sit on.
