This is when everyone cheers and shouts ‘Encore!’, meaning that the crowd wants the band to play a few more songs. They will play their most famous songs and some new songs for about an hour before they leave the stage. Once the support band leaves the stage, it’s finally time for the band you’ve been waiting for to come on.
They play a few of their songs to help get people excited about the band they have come to see: the ‘ headline act’. This is usually a lesser-known band who plays to ‘warm up’ the crowd. The ‘ support band’ will be the first to come onto the stage. For that reason, is usually a good place to stand. If you’re standing, do you prefer to stand at the front on the ‘ barrier’ (the closest you can get to the stage)? Or would you rather stand in the middle near the ‘ mixing board’? This is where the people who work for the band make sure that the sound is perfect. Then you can enter the venue to find your seats, or decide where you want to stand. When you enter the ‘ venue’ (the building the concert is in), you will have your tickets checked by a doorman. Sometimes instead of a ticket you will get a ‘wristband’ – this is a paper or plastic bracelet that goes around your wrist to show that you have paid for a ticket. A ‘box office’ is where you purchase tickets or provide your booking information to pick up the tickets you’ve already paid for. If you have pre-ordered your tickets online, you can collect them from the ‘ box office’. Okay, now imagine you are going to go to a ‘rock concert’.
