What is the first concert you ever went to?
As the title says;
What band/location/year was the first concert* you ever went to?
I was listening to Blink 182 on youtube and it made me think of my first concert.
AGE - 16
BAND - Blink 182
LOCATION - WIN Entertainment Centre - Wollongong,
DATE - Sunday August 29th 2004 (thanks google!)
Was an epic show, went with some girls i met down at my caravan at Lake Conjola a few months before hand. We had seasted tickets, but we snuck into the mosh pit and went mental.
*By concert i mean like stadium/major band, big aussie bands and/or international bands. I had seen local bands prior to this concert but this was my first big name concert.
Hehe!
I wasn’t going to admit it but since my reputation is shot to pieces on here anyway….
Bros
I was around 10 -ish (google not helping much!)
I do remember there was a bomb scare at the Entertainment Center and my dad went a bit mental as he had just dropped my sister and I and a neighbour off and he was worried we would be stuck inside (last know to be headed to the bathroom and there were no alarms back them it was just a quite shuffle everyone out the building).
Nice one deano!
First concert that I can remember going to was:
Age:15
Concert: Surf, Skate Slam. (The only bands I remember were Frenzal Rhomb & a band called 59 times the pain) It was a very much a punk concert!
Location: Gold Coast
Date: No idea sometime in 1998!
I remember back in the day i was trying to convince my parents to let me go to the Vans warped tour at Ulladulla skatepark as we were at our van in Lake Conjola, mum wasnt going to budge so i was spewing. Heard it went mental…
Offspring at the Hordern Pavillion when I was 18 I think, was good fun, I remember ending up with no shirt on as it was covered in beer!
From memory would my first concert was also my first festival, Homebake ‘99 when I was 15
My first one was with my brother. He really wanted to go and none of his friends were going so I went. Then I went to a sh!tload more! lol

Okay okay. Sydney K-Pop Festival last year. In my defence, I won tickets and I wouldn’t have paid to go. Ah yeah… Wasn’t very good.

Front row of the pit. Picked up in the pit too

LOCATION - Sydney Opera House forecourt…with 200,000 plus people

Worth looking at this just to see the crowd….it was the whole way round the opera house and the way to the circular quay. We turned up fairly late, jumped the fence next to the water line and crawled along the little 20cm edge over the water all the way from circular Quay and then jumped the fence into the front of stage area…things you can get away with when you are little haha
my first was Motley Crue, but I don’t remember when. I think it was the dr. feelgood tour.
Damn Oz, I would have killed to have seen Bros lol (not really) but I do remember trying to catch their video on tv (when will i be famous). I was in Australia at the time and getting ready to go to the ekka in brisbane. ah the memories!
