GRiZ Outlines Concert Etiquette We Can All Agree With

|||

All of us attend shows, concerts, and festivals to have a good time. There tends to be however, inevitably, a handful of folks who don’t know how to play by the rules. For most of us, it’s not that hard to be respectful, courteous, and kind. For some, these actions are met with great difficulty, and can take away from the generally positive experience of seeing live music.

The godfather of good vibes, GRiZ, is here to outline how to behave at shows to ensure that everybody is comfortable, safe, and having the best possible time. The Denverite took to social media today to list out general concert-going etiquette for his shows, which can also be applied to any event. These guidelines cover all the bases: supporting openers, moving through the crowd, consent, and more.

Check out GRiZ’s list of concert etiquette below.

Merry GRiZmas in July famo! It’s our first shows back so I wanted to take a moment to talk about our shows + etiquette again since we haven’t done this in a while! (A thread)

7/.. sexual conduct

Flirting is not consent. A smile is not consent. Kindness is not consent. Your desire to dance w some1 is not consent. Intoxication is not consent. A hug is not an invitation for more. Consent is consent. Ask. Is this okay? Can I dance w you? Can I hug you?

8/.. driving

Don’t drink and drive. Don’t take drugs and drive. It’s not cool. It’s never worth it. It’s dangerous. We have uber. Your car can wait. You can wait for your Uber driver. Or lyft, whatever.

9/.. drug use

You can never take less. Having a bad trip? Tell someone and get to a safe space. Pls test ur shit. Bad drugs are everywhere. Pls keep an eye on ur friends. Are they okay? Do they need medical assistance? No shame in a bad trip game. It’s happened to me.
