And finally, the 3 rules of being a show-goer:
- Listen to their stuff! Fact: Music sounds better after multiple listens. Get that artist on repeat the week of.
- Get there for the opener and have a few drinks. Vibes aren’t built overnight.
- Decide to love it no matter what. Especially if you haven’t heard an artist before, your enjoyment is basically up to you. Decide in advance that you’re going all-in.
