Rammstein, their shows have always been bigger and bigger each time. And their ticksets are only ~100€, well worth it if you ask me.
Dream Theater. Simply because I’m a big fan, and their live shows always has something their studio recordings don’t have, such as a song suddenly containing an improv section.
Been to four of their shows so far.
EDIT: Oh, and Devin Townsend. He was the warmup act of the previous DT concert, and I didn’t know such a high entertainment/mass ratio was possible in a single person.
Been a fan since Images and Words, finally saw them last year. Can confirm the live show is incredible.
Can’t wait to catch another one.

Tool, I have seen them three times in concert. They put on a fantastic show.
- Starset
- Yellow card
- BMTH
- BVB
- LOTL
- Bloodywood
- Icon for Hire
- Grandson
I like their music, and so far their ticket prices haven’t become outrageous.
Genuine answer: Weird Al
He puts on an incredible show every time. The costume changes alone put most artists to shame. He’s just as enthusiastic and active as he was over 40 years ago (Seriously, the man is 66)
And of course the songs and skits are hilarious.
We have tickets to see him this year for the second time on his current tour.
Seen Al 4 or 5 times in the last 30 years. A fantastic show each time. Drug some friends to the last one, all of which were not real Al fans, and all of which said they enjoyed the show way more than expected.
Aside from his regular-ish parody tours, we’ve also seen him do an acoustical tour of only his own music without any parodies, costumes, etc. We also saw him tour with a 30+ piece orchestra. Two words: “OBOE SOLO!”
Primus. I was fortunate enough to see them a couple times before Herb left the band again, and a couple times after.
This last show I saw, they had a moment where they walked offstage, projected a TikTok of a podcast clip of a woman talking about how Primus was the worst band she had ever seen, and then Les just started fucking murdering those bass strings as they walked out again.
I’m never missing a Primus show near me.
Primus fucking sucks! 🤘
Primus is touring this summer with the Frog Brigade and the Claypool Lennon Delirium. All the Les you can handle.
Green Day. I have seen them twice almost 20 years apart and both shows were fantastic. If you like their music, I would highly recommend seeing them live.
- Jimmy Eat World
- Clutch
- Rise Against
- Flogging Molly
- The Used
- The Offspring
- Bad Religion
- Tool
- Fall Out Boy
- Nine Inch Nails
Why? They are good bands who play well live and I like their music.
Clutch 100%. I’d see them every time. Flogging Molly were fantastic but the venue had awful acoustics which was kind of a drag, so I owe it to myself to see them again.
I’ve only seen Flogging Molly once, but that might have been the most fun I’ve ever had at a show. Good people and good vibes all around.
NOFX I see them if they come within an hour drive from where I am.
I would love to see NOFX sometime
I’m sure they’ll come out of retirement and tour again in a couple years, most of the band doesn’t have Fat Mike money.
Umphrey’s Mcgee, more times than I can count. They’re a jam band that does a lot of improv, excellent jams, they get really prog-y, and they do amazing covers.
Spafford. Also a jam band. Some of the best jams and guitar playing I’ve seen.
All Them Witches. Heavy blues/psychedelic rock. I just love their sound so much.
Primus. Fricken kill it every time.
Crown lands. I wanna see em again so bad but they are just not popular and they’re too broke to tour.
Shinedown. While many say its divorced welder dad rock (and it is) those guys put on a great show and genuinely care about the music.
Native howl. Damn good thrash grass.
Blacktop mojo. Another hardworking band that should be world famous.
The Hu.
My wife & I have seen Weird Al 4 times now and will be seeing him again this summer. While he mostly does a big show of his parodies with costumes & props we’ve also see him do a low-key acoustical tour where he only played his original music and none of the parodies. We also saw him tour with a full 30-piece orchestra, which was really fun as well.
Municipal Waste - top notch crossover thrash, insane live shows, insane pits, never a dull show.
Saw them once. Absolutely tore shit up. No question I’d go again.
Hell yeah bro! 🤘
R.E.M. (3 times)
Beastie Boys (2 times)
Prodigy (2 times, and going again later this year)
David Byrne (1 time, but seeing him again in July!)
Puressence (2 times)That’s funny, I saw REM exactly once and that was one too many times. Way back when they were getting started. One of the worst shows I have ever seen.
Oh wow - I’m kind of jealous, even if it was a bad show. I’d love to have seen them in their early days!
I’m glad to hear they got better!
Ha - well, I think so, anyway. Personal taste of course. I might have loved the show you didn’t, impossible to tell 😁
