Your Worst Concert Experience In 2013?

It often takes more than a band having an off night to make the performance your worst concert of the year. In many cases it might be the venue’s poor acoustics, lousy sightlines or limited parking that turns it into a show best forgotten. What was your worst concert experience in 2013?

There are several factors that can turn a night of exceptional music into a nightmare. Finding out that the tickets you bought via Craig’s List are fakes, sitting next to inebriated fans insisting on singing every word to every song, and other concert goers spilling their food and drinks into your lap can certainly diminish your evening of music.

Or perhaps you were waiting to see The Avett Brothers perform when the venue’s mirror ball came crashing down upon the stage.
