Music fanatics all over the world desperately await the opportunity for attending live music concerts all year round. While it is one thing to sit at home listening to your favorite music or watching TV or streaming videos on YouTube, but being in the crowd, packed out in a stadium, or detached from the real world on an underground dance floor, that is what takes things to another level.
If you have ever attended a live music show or concert anytime in your life, you will surely agree that such events are the experience of a lifetime that stay entrenched in your minds forever. Once the stage is set, the spotlights are turned on and the performing singer or band takes their place, you can begin to absorb and take in every second of the performance, swaying with the music and singing along with your Idol.
There is a seemingly infinite amount of music out there whether it is pop, rock, classical or instrumental, all of it just waiting for you to discover, but first, you have got to find it. What is it about live music and music concerts that is so appealing to music fans? To get you started, here are 5 benefits that attending live music concerts can bring into your life.
Getting close and personal
Music concerts offer a great platform and a unique opportunity to real music fans to get close and personal with their favorite music artists, singers, instrumentalists and bands. This is a great way to discover the music you already like but with a different take. Who knows, you might even find a new favorite!
Improving social connections
Music is one such thing which brings in the feelings of unity and compassion, and when you are in a concert, you are potentially surrounded by thousands of other like-minded people who already have a similar interest as you. So, when it comes to meeting new people and starting a conversation, a portion of the hard work has already been done for you! Going to a gig is also a great way to build relationships with the people in your lives and a chance for you to have a collective memory of something great that you will never want to forget.

Reduce stress and boredom
One of the biggest and most notable benefits of attending a live music concert is stress reduction, something we could all do a little bit more. Musical performances are scientifically proven to decrease the release of cortisol, a chemical known as the stress hormone. In a study conducted by the Imperial College of London, it was found that participants witnessed a significant decrease in cortisol, including reduced heart rate, lower blood pressure, and calmer breathing, especially when listening to chorale, wind ensemble and orchestral music. A live music concert with the colorful lights, the energy and the classic rock sound of the guitars, the people and the atmosphere is a great way to boost your happiness and put a smile on your face!
Finding the right inspiration
When you listen to a song on your headphones or in the car, when you hear a song that you have heard from a previous time, perhaps at a concert, it’s quite likely that you feel like you really want to play an instrument or take down to singing, but you could never garner the motivation to learn or to even try it for yourself. Attending a concert can be a life-changing way to spark that level of motivational or inspiration, giving you all the get-up-and-go; you need to start your own musical journey.
Opportunity to reflect on life
Listening to your favorite band or singer perform specific tunes can make you nostalgic and transport you back to the time in your life when you first heard those songs, which helps you relive those moments of joy, innocence, lust, disappointment, happiness, regret or fury from that period. It is a promising opportunity to revisit something inside of you and ponder on where you are with that emotion now.
So, what are you waiting for? Keep your ears and eyes open to find out the next music concert, live music show and other musical events being organised in your city and get ready to be permanently transformed by fleeting musical moments. Trust us – you do not want to miss it this time.

It is intriguing to me that stress reduction is one of the best benefits of live music concerts. My best friend and I have both been extremely stressed due to school finals as of late. We’ll have to find a band we love and go to a live show of theirs as soon as school ends.
I liked how you pointed out that you can gain some inspiration by listening to music live. My brother has been thinking about hiring a live performer for his company’s party this year. His company has a lot of creative people in it, so it’s cool to think how it can help them in this aspect.
