Student gigs and concerts
Music is the core of student life and is the bread and butter of survival during those hard core study times. Wherever you are in the country, your favourite artists are easily accessible through the wonder of trains, coaches, mini buses and cheap hotels and hostels. Why not meet up with your friends from home and see some live music or buy cheap group concert tickets? Combining live music or comedy on a night out can make for an unforgettable session - perfect for when you’re bored of the local student '3 shots for a quid' haunts.
Concerts and music tickets can be a really great gift idea and are even cheaper when you buy online (good for a university student's budget.) Smaller gigs and lesser known artists are likely to be better value than a huge mainstream artist; but with the expansion of performers in the industry it’s well worth taking a chance on a new band. You may well come across a gem and be the envy of everyone else in a years time when you know all the words and they don't...
Our Top Student Tip: Use MySpace, Spotify and Last.FM to find musicians and bands that aren’t widely known so you can take advantage of dirt-cheap gig and concert tickets.
