Attending live events—music, in particular—is one of my favourite things to do. I also really like lists.

This page attempts to document all shows I have ever attended. It’s mostly music, but also covers comedy and the occasional theatre or spoken word show.

The list was written primarily from memory and I am certain that several shows are missing, particularly from my teenage years and early twenties.
