Experiencing a live music show offers more than entertainment for the eyes and ears. Live concerts, no matter how big or small, provide a variety of health perks. Learn about these benefits and look for ways to incorporate more live music into your routine. Restaurants and pubs often feature musical acts during weekday happy hours and on weekends.

How Is Seeing Live Music Good for Your Health?

1. Human Connection

Enjoying a live show with friends and family provides a fun way to connect as you sing, dance, laugh, and reminisce about songs you know. Attending a performance also offers the opportunity to meet new people and forge new relationships. Even if you only meet at shows, you get to enjoy a special connection because you love the same band, singer, or group.

2. Pain Relief

Research indicates music’s healing effect on the body and mind. Listening to music is shown to reduce pain. While studies on the connection between music and pain relief continue, there are clear benefits to listening to your favorite tunes and experiencing live shows. If nothing else, music provides a welcome distraction.

3. Exercise

Seeing live shows also provides physical activity benefits, such as walking to and from your local bar to catch a performance. Depending on the show you see, you may get to jump and dance around, which burns calories and fat.

4. Increased Sense of Well-Being & Insight

Songs trigger memories of all kinds, allowing you to think about where you were in your life when you first heard them or what experiences you will always associate with them. Events such as graduations, weddings, road trips, and births are often associated with songs that were playing or popular when the event happened. Live music gives you the chance to reflect on your life and think about how far you have come mentally and emotionally.
