There are still plenty of cheap concerts to be found if people stop going to see only the most overhyped LiveNation-signed artists ever. In the past year I've seen Black Midi, Black Country New Road, Weyes Blood, Horsegirl, and Jpegmafia all for less than $20 a ticket by supporting my local venue. I really don't feel sorry for people who pay $900 to see an artist from several hundred (or thousand) feet away just so they can flex on social media about it...
Horsegirl are fantastic! I saw them last year and even had a chat with them afterwards. Front row, no barrier, hardly even a stage. They played for less than 50 people and gave it their all. I’m so happy to see them get a little bit bigger.
They killed their set, they were touring (my show was the last stop of the tour) with Lifeguard who also did great. Some of the best energy I've ever felt at a show and beers were only $5 a pint! It's crazy how enjoyable concerts are when you don't feel the need to go to the biggest ones around
the energy is just different and more intense when there’s around 100 people in the audience.
I play in a small band myself and i’ve played big shows and small shows, and my favourites are the small shows when people are really into it.
