'Worst live show I've ever been to': 20+ Concerts that made fans want to hold their ears

Does going to bad concerts build character? It certainly makes memories — I bet you remember both the very best and very worst concerts you've ever gone to. 

Sometimes, it's the circumstances that bring down the vibes of your show, like if you get caught in the rain, or if it's like 105° degrees outside, or if you're with a group of friends who are completely unexcited about seeing the show. 

Other times, it's totally the musician's fault that the show isn't so good. There are some artists who are chronically late for their shows, or they get so bonkered before the show that they can barely stand up and mumble their songs into the mic. One thing I love about New York City is that its noise restrictions are very strict, and a lot of venues can't have their artists performing past 11 PM,  meaning concerts start on time, sometimes down to the exact minute. No more waiting around for hours and hours for the artist to show up while your feet get sore and the conversations run dry! That's all people really want, anyway: they just want to show up, hear an amazing show with a few good openers, and savor the time with their friends. 

These music fans shared what happened during their worst concerts, and there were a few interesting artists in the bunch. It seems like playing at venues that didn't suit the artists were a common problem, while others were late or unprepared. As you're scrolling below, you can even see if your favorite artist is included… as some people noted, they adored a band until they saw them live and realized how lackluster the whole performance really was. 

After that, read about the retail workers who had some totally bizarre customers, like one person who shared, that a customer "
