Concert review help/advice please?

Hey so I'm supposed to write an article reviewing a concert I saw, and I need some help. I've never reviewed a concert before, at least not on paper for a newspaper....(school newspaper)


So any pointers? Please anything helps1


thanks!Concert review help/advice please?
a set list is a very good starting point cause then you can go through it song by song. Talk about anything unusual - any obscure songs or cover versions especially.





Always good to start with some background on the band/artist cause your readers might not know anything about them...and you can talk about the band's style/look, between songs banter and crowd reaction.





Here are a few I've written for blogs and stuff...

First you can point out the good things you found in the concert. then the things you feel that could have been in a better way. Logical errors ect.


finally give an idea whether it worth spending time and money to watch. Never tell the climax to readers.
Some excellent examples of concert reviews here:

Try to cover the techno part - music, sound quality, lighting, etc as well as crowd reaction, and the performer's level of interaction with the crowd, what you think the band/performer was trying to achieve, and whether or not you think they succeeded
