What's the farthest you would go to see a concert?

[duncan_bayne@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@evan I would legitimately travel off-planet to see some bands, if I could afford it.

Actually, I don't think it would matter what the band was 😁 🚀

@evan

I've only once made a transcontinental journey to see a concert, but that was when I lived across an ocean from London.

Now I go up to London or Paris once per year or so for a gig.

My own country is more of a monthly/weekly thing, given that I commute across cantonal borders anyway.

@evan Own planet. I am from a very small country (Denmark) and live right next to a border. I have gone some times to Sweden and Germany for a concert.

@evan missing a "own continent" option ^^'

[redstonelp2@mastodon.redstonelp2.com]

@evan does "region" go across country borders?

[lina@tech.lgbt]

@evan realistically i’d say ~800km one way would be the maximum, so anywhere between western europe and dnipro river west coast. if i have at least one friend coming with me, tho? own universe

[karb@bark.lgbt]

@evan

Depends how flush I am at the moment, what country the concert is in (save or not so much) and how bad I wanna see it but if all these things check out then global

[kaitlynethylia@void.lgbt]

@evan Own city but mostly owing to financial restrictions. If budget weren't a concern then probably anywhere in Western Europe, I'd gladly take an excuse to ride trains across the continent all day(s)

[macberg@mastodon.online]

@evan Own apartment. Maaaaybe own neighborhood.

@evan with 60 miles (or even just 2 miles) to the next country it's not an ideal question :D

I have in the past travelled 1200 miles for a concert and I'd do it again :D

[rudy@mstdn.ca]

@evan where's the "i gave up going to concerts decades ago" option?

[engravecavedave@mastodon.social]

@evan should have an "own continent" option

[brooke@bikeshed.vibber.net]

@evan I've driven to an adjacent state for concerts before, but never farther than that ;)

(California -> Nevada and Oregon -> Washington)

[phl@mastodon.social]

@evan "Own planet" is unfortunately terribly vague :D But is the choice many in countries with many other countries in the region will take, while giga-country people will probably choose the one smaller option.

[aharoni@wikis.world]

@evan
I flew from Israel to see:
Sonic Youth in Strasbourg.
Pixies in Coachella (which also had Flaming Lips, Radiohead, Trail of Dead, Mogwai, Stereolab, and The Cure).
Pavement in New York.
And perhaps I should mention that I drove from Providence to New Jersey and back the same day to see Herbie Hancock.

I'm not wealthy, I love music.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@aharoni of all of these, the drive from Providence to NJ seems the most terrible.

[aharoni@wikis.world]

@evan True.

[jonathan@charade.social]

@evan I'm sure the fact that I live 4km from an international border is screwing up your results 😋

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@aharoni have you taken your young people on a concert trip yet? There's a window of time when they crave seeing their favourite musicians so much they are willing to tolerate the presence of a parent at the show.
