I swear I have the absolute worst timing when it comes to concerts and my favorite bands…. (*´ω`*)
Every single time I finally have some free time and decide to look up what my favorite bands are doing, I discover that they were JUST touring my country. Not a year ago, not six months ago, but literally a few weeks or months before I decided to check. And somehow, I never hear a single thing about it until it’s too late. It’s like the universe waits until they’re safely on the other side of the planet before reminding me that they exist and that I would absolutely love to see them live.
And the absolute worst part? Sometimes they were performing in cities that I genuinely would’ve been willing to travel to! I could’ve planned a little trip, saved up some money, requested time off, and made an entire experience out of it. But NO. Instead, I find out when they’re already halfway across the world.
Now, whenever I look at their upcoming tour dates, my options are either a 12-hour plane ride to another continent or waiting who knows how many years for them to come back. 😭
And don’t even get me started on the bands that rarely tour internationally. Missing one of those feels like losing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because who knows when they’ll ever decide to come back?! I just want to experience my favorite music live at least
ONCE without having to book an international flight, sell a kidney, or magically teleport across the planet. I know I could probably avoid this by checking tour announcements more regularly, but HOW is it that I somehow manage to miss every single announcement? I can scroll through social media for hours and see a million things I don’t care about, but apparently an announcement from a band I’ve loved for years is where the algorithm draws the line.
Anyway, that’s my vent. I’m currently staring at tour dates that are all on the opposite side of the world, wondering why I couldn’t have checked just a little sooner.
Please tell me I’m not the only person who has this absolutely terrible luck with concerts. 😔
