Depeche Mode concert at 13?

Question

Hi. I'm currently considering going to a Depeche Mode concert. However, I've never been to a concert before, and I'm worried it'll be too loud for me (around 120 dz). Is it a good idea to go to a Depeche Mode concert with 50,000 people and 120 double rooms at 13 years old? I thank everyone who responds.

On DB concerts it is loud, but 120 dB (not dz) probably only occur very briefly. Even at concerts in the metal scene, which are now not known for low volume, it is not soooo loud.

I was already on many rock concerts (Iron Maiden, Jethro Tull, AC/DC and many others). All bands that are not just known for being particularly quiet. But to irritate the pain limit of the hearing is not exactly their thing. Even with Kiss (while more often has been appointed as the "latest band in the world"), it is comparatively quiet.

Hello,

I also go to a DepecheMode concert this year. My father is a huge DepecheMode fan and yes, after he told me for years, "you must have seen it," I go with him for the first time this year.
However, I have often been on concerts by other artists: inside and always stood in the first row. I'm alive!

120dz is of course very loud, but no matter what age you go on concerts, festivals or clubs, it will always be loud.

I don't know how you can deal with crowds, volume, etc. and since you've never been on a concert, you won't really appreciate it. That's why I would advise you to go to a smaller concert first, from another band or another artist. DepecheMode appears exclusively in such large locations, so I think that's not the best decision for the first concert.

I still like to give you a checklist and tips on how to prepare for the concert or how to think about whether and with whom you want:

Volume : 120 dB, as mentioned, is a fairly high volume that can potentially be harmful to hearing, especially in the case of prolonged exposure. It is important that you and your parents consider the possible risks for your hearing and may consider protective measures such as earplugs.
Audience : Depeche Mode concerts often attract a large crowd. It is important to remember that it can be loud and crowded with so many people. As a 13-year-old person, it may sometimes be overwhelming to be in such an environment. It can be helpful if you feel comfortable in crowds and are willing to deal with big crowds.
Monitoring : Consider whether you can go to the concert with a trusted and responsible person, such as a parent or an older sibling. An accompaniment can help you feel safe and meet potential challenges.
Personal preferences : Ask yourself if you are a big fan of Depeche Mode and if you really enjoy the concert experience. A concert visit can be an exciting and inspiring experience, especially if you love the music. However, if you have concerns about the volume and crowd, you should take it seriously and possibly consider other ways to enjoy your favorite music, such as listening to music at home or visiting a smaller concert.

I wish you a nice evening and a lot of fun at the concert if you decide.

Love

I think 120 dB is a rumor. That was perhaps 40 years ago when the regulations were still very sloppy and the controls were rare.

Today the volume has to be below 100 dB. There are measuring instruments that automatically limit the volume when the value becomes too high.

Today's sound systems with their banana-shaped arrays ensure that the volume is distributed evenly in the room and does not blow around the people in front of the stage, while there is nothing left behind in the room.

If you're worried that it's getting too loud, get earplugs.
Earbuds eg are made so that they reduce the volume without the sound suffering.

Was there on Friday in Leipzig and also quite close to the stage. Of course it's loud, but it's unbeatable and there's still air up there anyway. And even if the technicians put it on 120 decibels, it comes to the least in this volume, just outside and in size.

Go on, who knows if Depeche Mode will go on tour sometime. But you'll need a full-year companion, you shouldn't forget that.

What concert would you like to go to?

I'd like to see the band live!

120dz are not little now, but at least the volume on concerts never had anything to say. Even the crowds of people, despite some phobias (eg Emetophobia, social phobias and some Claustrophobia) have always been good enough. But this is different for everyone and cannot be answered in this way.
