They invoke dancing, an enhanced live music experience, and singing along to favourite entertainers with friends and strangers. But concerts and festivals are more than an occasion for enhanced entertainment, they are also avenues for enhanced self-expression.

Here are some ideas for fun things to do at concerts or festivals

<h3>1. Get the performer's or artist's attention</h3>

There's no shame in trying to get the performer's attention. It can be a memorable moment that you can share with friends and look back on your fun days. It also makes for a good conversation additive.

<h3>2. Go with a souvenir for the artist</h3>

The performers are there to give you a memorable time, so why not make it better by returning the favour? It can be a sign of your devotion as a fan. Something that says "I'm your biggest fan". Artists know you like them but it is nice to get proof.

Come with things you may want to get signed and go autograph hunting before the concert or festival starts.&nbsp;

The backstage is an experience of its own. Try to get back there and see if you can meet the performers and hang out there for a bit.

Remember that scene from The Hunger Games when Katniss Everdeen screams "I volunteer as tribute!", do the same at the top of your lungs with a hand over your mouth. Heck, you can use that very saying.

This privilege is usually reserved for the performers and can be a great risk for fans. But in the heat of the moment, you might get away with it. Just make sure your possessions are secure and take care.

<h3>7. Get pictures with performers/artists</h3>

Get creative and collect selfie memorabilia with your favourite people at the event. It can be artists or other celebrities you are fond of. Document the event to your tastes whether it's pictures or video.

Take time to do some <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/fashion/how-to-get-affordable-shopping-in-an-expensive-store/y56h6ee">mini-shopping</a>. It literally feels like a scene from a movie when background music plays while the character shops in slo-mo. Get in the main character energy.

Hear us out, event fights can escalate quickly and cause a lot of damage. But getting away with a little bit of trouble can be fun. Say, being carried off the stage. Unless it involves <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/fashion/5-things-you-should-not-wear-to-a-concert-in-kampala-uganda/jnny38y">these items</a>, don't risk them.

<h3>11. Try to catch things performers throw.</h3>

If you can get the performer to give you something that's a bonus. It is unlikely that they will throw something, so take the initiative to ask loudly and continuously. You never know.

At the end of the concert or festival, tell everyone how <a href="https://www.pulse.ug/lifestyle/food-travel/7-awesome-african-video-games-you-can-play-with-relatable-storylines/ylj50dj">epic</a> the event was. Show them evidence and give them a <a href="https://www.socialtables.com/blog/event-planning/how-to-plan-a-concert/">detailed</a> recounting of the event. That way you will recall some things you could have forgotten and they get to stew in envy of your winning energy.
