The regular concertgoers are well aware of the fact that tickets for all the hot concerts sell in a matter of minutes. That's why they try their level best to book these tickets as soon as they are released. No wonder we see long queues at box office windows of major concert venues. We also read about ticket-brokers making rapid sales by selling hundreds and thousands of live performances; including national and world tours, benefit, promotional and other concerts tickets. And, we also come to hear about an artist or band that breaks all the previous ticket-selling records due to their crazy fan base.

 

That is not all! Concert talk and gossip has become an important point of media discussion and musical bands are releasing DVD's of their concert tours. Then there are people who ask questions in forums, chat rooms and social networks about how to get tickets for a particular concert; while others post joyful tweets after getting hold of their concert tickets. All this shows that concert industry is growing by leaps and bounds and concerts are the most happening form of entertainment. And why not! There is something about live music that you can never experience in recorded music.

 

For a regular music lover, concert is all about fun and entertainment. The LIVE and EXCLUSIVE feel make concerts one of the most thrilling live-event experiences; giving tough competition to even very popular sports and games. You may be the one who listens to your favorite singer or band all the time. They may dominate your IPod playlists, your desktop and your DVD collection; but there is nothing like catching them live on stage, as this is the only way through which you can experience the real feel of their sound and charm.

 

Concerts can be divided into various types and categories based on their nature, music genre, duration, production scale and even the time of year when it is happening. Also known as gig or live music show, concert is meant to bring music that is live and pure; with no retakes and computer-generated effects. Although, concerts of today are much more advanced than the good old one-signer-one-guitar type of shows; they still got that raw appeal that cannot be felt in recorded music.

 

Perhaps the most popular type of live music shows is concert tours. A tour is a series of different concerts by a particular artist/band or variety of artists that are held in different venues, cities and even countries. These are large scale concerts that involve a lot of investment, promotion and planning. If a tour becomes success, then the artist, organizers and promoters got huge profits out of it.

 

The duration of concert tour can vary according to the requirement; e.g. some artists add more dates and venues in their tour due to the increasing demand of tickets while some cut off the dates due to unsatisfactory response on ticket-window. Concert tours can last for months and even years, with different legs in different regions.

 

In recent times, established artists and bands like Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, U2, Kenny Chesney, Madonna, Deff Leopard, Kings Of Leon, Coldplay and some others have given gates-shattering tours. Among the newer lot; Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift have garnered huge craze during their concert tours. Other tours that rocked the nation in recent times include American Idol Live!, American Superstars and Bob Dylan-Willie Nelson & John Mellencamp Tour.

 

Compared to this, if an artist holds just one or two concerts in any city then it is considered a single concert. This can be a small gig in a local pub and medium sized venue or can also be a one-to-five day assignment in a popular local arena. The idea of consecutive day concerts is also popular in touring routines of many high profile artists. Many classic acts like Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, The Rolling Stones and contemporary ones like Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Justin Timberlake, Bayonce and Rihanna are the well-known solo concert acts. Led Zeppelin, Beatles and Paul McCartney share the honor of playing to the largest crowd that had ever gathered to a single concert performance.

 

While the number of acts can be, and usually are, more than one in the previously mentioned category; several live shows include multiple artists performing in a traditional or theme-based series of concerts, knows as festivals. These festivals are hugely popular among music fans as they can see the talent of different artists on one platform. The Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival, Woodstock Music and Art Festival, Summerfest,, Newport Jazz Festival, Summer Sonic Festival, Glastonbury Festival and several others entertain music lovers on annual basis.

 

Apart from duration and region; genre can also be defining force for making any concert a huge hit. For example, Orchestra concerts mainly focus on classic music, and these types of concerts can easily be distinguished from usual concerts on the basis of its settings, dress-code and packaging. Similarly, there are rock, new-age, alternative, pop rock, rap hip hop and various other concerts where bands from that specific genre play. Also, concerts are sometimes classified according to seasons like Summer Concerts (Summer Sonic Festival) or Christmas Concerts (Radio City Christmas Spectacular).

 

Free concerts are not-so-common but highly liked type of concerts. Guinness Book of Records credits Rod Stewart for gathering the largest free rock concert ever, i.e. 3.5 million people, on New Year's Eve in 1994. Similarly, many Benefit Concerts, Tribute Concerts, Comeback and Reunion Tours also attract millions of crowd. Most of the time, artists and bands embark on a tour for the promotion of their latest or soon-to-be released album. The main artist/band is called headlining act while others are known as supporting/opening acts along with some surprise acts (if there is any). Moreover, some big brand singers and bands also perform at Superbowl half-time and other sports-related events like Houston Rodeo; thus adding more hype and colors to the event.

 

Finally, a good and fully-facilitated venue plays a significant role in making any music concert a success. From the intimate setting of pubs and nightclubs to the lavishness of huge stadiums and arenas; every venue appeals different type of concertgoers. Also, the concerts of today are much more exciting than ever before. With high voltage sound, cool graphics and elaborate sets; you can have an unforgettable experience to say the least. And hey! You may also get a chance to get up, close and personal with your favorite stars as many artists like to interact with their fans and distribute exclusive CD's and merchandise during their concerts. If nothing else, then you can at least make lifelong memories by watching the biggest music icons performing LIVE on your favorite tunes. So grab your meet and greet, VIP, general admission and Other Concerts Tickets and experience music like never before!
