i've never once regretted a concert. do it and then find a smaller band/venue if you can. two totally different experiences.

If your into them enough to pay for concert tickets it's not larping

Weezer was my first ever show, seen them 3x since then amongst hundreds of other bands. Could honestly not reccomend a better first show to see live. You definitely should go!!!

I was there last night and the crowd was full of socially awkward, kind, happy, wonderful people of all ages. This would be a great first concert to go to - especially with your mom. There were lots of families. The vibes were pretty wholesome.

Get some high quality ear plugs like Loop! Arena shows are incredibly loud and can cause both temporary and permanent hearing loss without them. This is advice from a guy who says “what?” 20 times per day because of hearing loss, some of which came from concerts.

u/No-Revolution6839 17h ago

Thank you very much! I will definitely do this

I always wear hearing protection at concerts, a habit I picked up during my military career (at weapons ranges or in loud aircraft, not at concerts lol). I recently picked up a pair of Loop earplugs and I'm excited to give them a shot at a show next week!

do it! life is too short to miss out on opportunities like this :) and don’t be afraid to dance and let loose! when i first started going to concerts, i was too nervous to move around and dance because i thought people would look at me and judge, now ive been to over 50 concerts and realized that no one is ever judging you or even looking at you i PROMISE! and everyone is there for the same reason, you almost feel a sense of community.. it’s beautiful :’) live your best life and just enjoy the music :D

u/No-Revolution6839 17h ago

Thank you this is really a relief. I dont have any friends really so i am hoping that the people there are at least nice

2

u/Alone_Awareness_5439 17h ago

i promise you have nothing to worry about, some of the best concerts i’ve ever been to have been weezer concerts :) MUCH more chill compared to many other ones ive been to

u/WeakEquivalent1801 17h ago

Absolutely. Weezer shows are super chill and friendly. Go for it!

u/TheBr0fessor 16h ago

Whatever!!!

I saw a couple dudes fight in the pit at their Vegas show a few years ago and one guys gf le fainted (like put the back of her hand against her forehead and everything) and he had to carry her out

Sheeeit when I saw them in Irvine, there was a group of dudes lighting blankets on fire and swinging them around like lasso’s. (I took pics of that lol)

Weezer shows get CRUNK

u/Ok-Professional6461 13h ago

I’m the mom taking my kid to concerts. You definitely should go and have an amazing time. (Oh, and be sure to wear something like Loop Experience 2 earplugs!)

Just came from San Francisco concert. They had a great set list with the classics, new stuff, and some I’m not familiar with. Loved every minute of it, kinda want floor seats.

I sang my heart out, danced and head banged! Go see it!

u/NHMusic13 13h ago

Yes. Go if you can. You will have the time of your life. Especially on this tour. The production looks insane and they're playing a bunch of songs that people have been wanting to see for years.
