Concert/Gig Posters! It's Back!

Might be an east coast thing, but it feels like the bulk of events are on your phone. I think I've had one physical ticket in like 5 years.

Seems hit or miss for me out east

Most places in the pnw can print them if you ask at the box office. The bigger venues are where it gets tough. At Moda if you tell them your phone is dead I've had a 100% rate of them printing it for me. A little tougher in nova so far though

I need to try this. Although I don't get to a ton of Moda shows.

This was a giveaway after my recent Toad the Wet Sprocket show over the weekend. Pretty cool for a free poster.

Some recent pickups for me.

Was not expecting Mdou Moctar sandwiched between DMB and Noah Kahan

No poster at Kamasi Washington tonight but this will work

Just picked these two up. I still have so many to frame.

Curious, how many of you buy concert posters for gigs you didn't attend because you either like the music artist, poster's artist or the artwork?

My rule is only buy the poster if I attend the show.

I buy all the shows I go, and I'll grab others if I have a chance at a meet and greet someplace in order to get them signed.

I have quite a few I didn't go to because I liked the art. But mostly ones I was at these days.

They were less of a thing in the UK, so I tended to buy ones for bands I liked. They are a bit more prevalent here in Oz, so I tend to get ones from gigs I go to now.

I was going to say the same, I rarely see gig-specific concert posters here in London. Sometimes they have generic tour ones, but more often than not its t-shirts, hoodies, etc.

I actually have a solid stack of gig posters from the UK from the 1950's through to 90's that I never attended. Concerts by jazz musicians mainly and a lot of them are very DIY. I do have a pretty great Miles Davis one from France that I never attended (see below) but its mainly UK based musicians.

That's awesome! And if it's old enough attending it doesn't matter. I'd hang that Miles one up

I'm seeing a lot of shows this month (like probably too many) but here's a start

If I was at Bumbershoot, instead of in Colorado for Phish, I would have bought one of these.
