My ex bought us tickets to go see the Flaming Lips because that's our band. We're broken up now, but still going to the concert together tonight. I haven't been to a show since middle school and don't know shit about concerts. Is there anything I should know before going?

earplugs, bring 'em. even if you don't need them it's good to have just in case. I wish I had done that when I was younger going to concerts.

yeah this

I own ones with little filter elements in them that reduce the noise without straight up blocking it/muddying the sound. I usually forget them though. Pretty sure I'm slowly getting tinnitus. But there have been times where I've been to shows that ended up being way louder than I expected that they were a lifesaver.

Mine live in a container attached to my keys, it means i have them everywhere, protip

it's a good idea but anything attached to my keys needs to be pretty indestructible or it gets destroyed. My first pair came in a plastic pill shaped container but it didn't last too long before breaking. A metal one would be better but so far I haven't been able to convince myself to do it lol (I go to shows like 3x a year realistically). and it has to be pretty small or it will drive me nuts in my pocket and I'll take it off my keys. I have a good number of keys but nothing bulky like car keys or pill containers or charms or anything.

I do know a perfect store to look for little metal capsules though... maybe next time I'm there
