Don't go to concerts like I did as a kid... But I'm going to see The Sounds of Animals Fighting in a few weeks and I'm fucking HYPED. I believe it's only the third time they've played a set of shows ever.
The last 5 headline shows ive been too...
Mar 1, 2018 : Veruca Salt, The Metro Theatre, Sydney
Jan 27, 2018 : Foo Fighters, ANZ Stadium, Sydney
Nov 24, 2017 : Mike Portnoy's Shattered Fortress, The Metro Theatre, Sydney
Nov 11, 2017 : Midnight Oil, The Domain, Sydney
Nov 10, 2017 : The Tea Party, Enmore Theatre, Sydney
Currently nothing on the horizon, but that is also slightly due to lack of funds, fucking kids being expensive...
Given the lack of funds, I'm being more selective, so I'm on the lookout for bands that I have either just once, or none at all...
Wishlist is sizeable, though it's filled with bands unlikely to tour to AU anytime soon, if anyone is willing to fund any band Mike Portnoy is associated with down here that would be great... I'll take any of them.

Tyler, the Creator
I don't like concerts though. Haven't gone to one that's seated, but standing around for that fucking long is awful.

Went to a 3 day festival this weekend in Miami. Saw Beach House, James Blake, Tyler the creator, Erykah Badu, Pussy Riot, and a bunch of other artists. I think I'm getting too lazy for concerts. I hate all the walking involved.
Not going that often but was very disappointed with my recent Clutch experience. Two supporting acts (they were OK, but never had that before) and the main act took merely an hour without any encore.
Punchline
They played a show at my friend's studio here in Lancaster, PA last Saturday. They've worked with them to record their most recent album and are old friends of the music scene here. We all went out and got drunk afterwards. It was awesome.
I go to a show about every other week. All local shows. Heavily involved in the music scene here.
Look out for Bells. I feel like they could get somewhat big. Absolutely amazing instrumental band.

Who's staying sober at any concert ... a concert is a party. We used to go to all of them. I mean all.
Been to
Ozzfests
Foxfests
Edgefests
Summer Jams
And even Merritt mountain music festivals. Who even knows who I saw there but 250k people one year yeah I believe one of the biggest venues. They needed shuttles for the campgrounds. We rented a motor home man what a time.
Also have seen probably 20 other tours from Metallica to Up In Smoke .
Latest was Alice in chains and my buddy had last night Tragically Hip tickets but I didn't feel right going as I so like them but wasn't a superfan.
I'm good for a while. Partner and I want to go to Tomorrowland some day when daughter is older
Its been years since my last concert, which was Ghostface Killah on a little smaller venue. I got so fucking fed up by that performance and them picking up girls from the audience to dance on stage instead of actually giving a performance. I left the place and never looked back.
It's going to be something really special to make me go to a hiphop concert ever again( if CYNE would appear then yes!) atleast.

Saw Julia Holter and Mulatu Astatke with the Black Jesus Experience in January.
I might see Laura Jean this Friday if I can be fucked but I think she is starting late and I am usually tired on a Friday.
In March I am seeing Beach House in a couple of weeks and Tropical Fuck Storm. Might see Amyl and the Sniffers too if I can find someone but it is not really the type of gig I would want to go to alone.

Khruangbin. Awesome band.
I like small concerts. Because i actually want to listen to the music.
I hate big concerts where people just go to scream and sing along.The sound is usually terrible too at big concerts.
Planning to go and see Marc Ribot and his band.

Last concert I went to was Hirasawa Susumu.
Very enjoyable music, but unfortunately the audience was barely moving.
Don't currently have any definite plans for concerts, but gonna enter the lottery to try and go to the Kingdom Hearts Orchestral concert with a couple of friends.

The last gig I was at was Slayer in November and the next one I'm going to is Metallica at Slane.
I live in a smaller town, so we don't get a lot of acts I'm into very often, which kind of limits how many I end up going to. As I get older, I also find I don't have as much patience for the experience like I used to, haha. I went on a run about a year and a half ago where I tried to go out of town and see someone I wanted to see once a month for the whole year, and I got kind of burnt out on the process pretty hard. Old man status, for real.
To answer the thread's question directly though, Coheed and Cambria last year was the last show I attended. Haven't really looked around to see what will be near me this year so far.

Last show I went to was Flogging Molly at Shepherd's Bush, London. Pretty great show and I didn't have anything stolen from me unlike last time!
Upcoming shows are 2 Devin Townsend gigs (1 acoustic and 1 full show) and seeing The Levellers perform in a theatre carved into a cliffside. Hoping to go to the Download Festival in June as there are a ton of great acts and it falls over my birthday weekend again.

Last show I went to was Jade Bird - really great singer. Excited to get her first record.
I was all about that concert life the past couple of years but had to cut back because of a work schedule change - just don't have the energy for it anymore. Other than Firefly I don't have a ton on the calendar. I'm tempted to see Florence and the Machine when she plays Gov Ball in NYC because the last time I saw her it was a CLINIC. Also want to see The Aces in Philly in a couple weeks but the show's sold out :-\
Oh! I am seeing the Rolling Stones in June. That ought to be great.
Also hoping Paul McCartney rolls back into town for his latest tour - I'm a sucker for his concerts.

Going to concerts is really a hobby for me. I absolutely love live music and spend way too much money on tickets. Last show i went to was Behemoth and At the gates. My next two weeks is probably the busiest its ever been so it is not always like this but it is still pretty crazy.
This week:
Napalm Death & Rotten Sound
Next week:
Steven Wilson
Wheel
Ursus factory & Pearl Harts
Week after:
Alestorm & Skalmöld
Night flight orchestra
For the rest of the spring/summer there is Muse, Devin Townsend, Sleep, Haken, Tuska metal festival, Qstock festival and maybe sideways festival.

Went to see The Cat Empire last year.
I don't usually go to concerts but when I heard they were coming to my city I couldn't miss it.

Haha, same here.
Slayer last year and next up Metallica in June.
And again in August.
They def put on a good show. The last few times we saw them I wasn't feeling it but my wife had a great time. Still love their older stuff.
I've probably been to hundreds of concerts and festivals over the years. Mostly hip hop, metal and hardcore I guess. I got to see shit like Nirvana and RATM in their prime, I've seen pretty much every local hip hop artist I can think of, and I've been to a bunch of huge arena concerts too. I mostly enjoy smaller venues though. I can't imagine I would be able to list all the artists I've seen, really.
My most recent shows were Behemoth in january, and Slayer/Lamb of God/Anthrax/Obituary in december.
In 2019 I'm planning to see Wu Tang Clan, Agnostic Front, Cardi B, The Cure, Dropkick Murphys, and probably loads more.

I've never been too much into concerts, especially not the big ones in huge venues. I've seen bands like Muse and (I really don't know why) Coldplay like that, and the sound is always shit and your packed uncomfortably between thousands of people. I've done some festivals too, but only when there was a band I really wanted to see. SeenThe Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, etc that way
Lately I only have been to smaller concerts, preferably when there is seating. Last concerts I've been too have been Fado concerts by the likes of Camané, Gisela João and Carminho. Other than that I have some fixed bands or musicians I tend to always go see when they come to Belgium, like Mark Lanegan and Eels (the first sticks to smaller concert halls, the latter manages to avoid the really bad ones)

I last saw Within Temptation, touring for their new album. It was fun, they are great live. I don't really know where I'm going next, there's a couple concerts that mildly interest me but nothing I'm dying to see as of now.
Last show was They Might Be Giants in Iowa City in 2007.
No plans on seeing another show. Any show I have any interest in that comes by always shows up on a weekday or something, and I can't take days off.

Was able to catch Drake, beach house & Travis Scott last year.
Nothing in the plans now, might try to catch the chromatics in June

Stolen Babies like 6 or 7 years ago. I don't really do concerts much. Very few bands I care enough about to go out and see live seeing as it's usually a bit of a drive for me.
Going to see Buckethead this May though, and I am beyond fucking stoked. I've constantly missed him but not this year.

Living in LA, I take advantage as much as I can. I go to at least a dozen concerts a year, often close to 20. In March alone, I'll be seeing Daughters, Nick Mason, Vince Staples & JPEGMAFIA, and Massive Attack. I've also got tickets ready for Planet B, Devin Townsend, Mastodon, King Crimson ready to go. Saw Elton John earlier this year, and late last year saw NIN twice, Merzbow, Childish Gambino, and Ghost. Also saw Daughters last November too and absolutely had to see them again.

I also saw Chvrches last, in Birmingham and they were fantastic! Way better than when i saw them four years ago. This year is going to be quite busy for gigs for me which is nice because i went to barely any last year, and i love them! So far have planned in:
Dodie(March)
Honeyblood(two nights in a row, this is my fav band)
Vukovi
Circa Waves
Anne-Marie
Hopefully some more come up i want to see.
I haven't been to a concert in a long time, but I've seen Goldfinger more times than you. What did you think about them? I have memories of them being really good, but I recently watched some shows of theirs on YouTube and they kinda sucked.
I play in a band, so the last gig I went to was my own, 3 weeks ago. But I guess that doesn't really count.
Saw a local band named Hell's Blaze with my bandmates this past weekend. Their drummer is a friend. Most gigs I go to are by friendly bands. We go see them, they return the favor. They give us tips on where to get gigs, we invite them to share billing with us. Sort of a mutual support thing.

Went to videogameslive in early feb. No current plan to go to another concert but I am sure I will as soon as possible.
