Alternative Music Concerts  

Alternative music is just that- a collection of various types of music that cannot be easily classified or identified as a single genre. Alternative music bands became popular over the years, and now it attracts a lot of crowds to the shows. 

Alternative music concerts are performances of different types of rock and pop music along with a few more contemporary genres thrown in. An independent style of music can be categorized as alternative music. It is diverse and electrifying.

Artists who perform alternative music concerts don’t always belong to the mainstream. It’s only in recent years that this genre has changed the trend and entered the mainstream music market. 

If you’re a fan of alternative music, make sure to book your tickets online and get a handsome discount. 

Elements of Alternative Music

Even though alternative music is diverse, the genres still have a few common identifying factors, such as guitar and keyboards (in contemporary bands). Since alternative music is a branch/ extension of rock music, it is guitar-driven and uses lots of bass and drums. 

The 1970s & 1980s alternative music was strongly influenced by the artists and music legends of that period. It left a strong mark in the history of alternative music in the US.

While the Pop tunes are majorly poppy and diatonic, which add a zing to the lyrics, the Punk Rock artists displayed a tremendous amount of energy. A great example would be the Punk Rock bands like Bad Brains, Black Flag, and Minor Threat. 

The early alternative music drew its inspiration from punk, folk, and mainstream music. Bands like R.E.M., the Dream Syndicate, 10,000 Maniacs, etc., belong to the 1980s American era where alternative music was a combination of different influences. This type of music became immediately popular among the audience. This era is easily identified as the American underground.

Gorillaz is an Alternative music band formed in 1998 by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. It is one of the most famous bands in this genre. The band has its concerts scheduled in various cities each year. Bastille is an English pop/rock band that was formed in 2010 and has been nominated for four Brit Awards. It is well-known among the American audiences and comes to tour the country every year to perform for the fans.
