We’re Lost In Music’s 2022 in Review

For us, 2022 has been a bit of a strange year in the world of live music and events…our passion is still there, but it feels like something has shifted in the industry and gigs and festivals seem to be prioritising the wrong things (namely, money over experience). We appreciate the challenges the industry has faced over the last few years, and continues to face with the economy as it is, however we have been to far too many gigs (and even festivals – Glastonbury we’re looking at you) this year that appear to have been oversold, where it’s difficult to move around, where generally it doesn’t feel that enjoyable to be there. It was only a matter of time before this led to a dangerous situation and unfortunately we closed the year on a postponed gig due to Brixton Academy’s licence being under review following the terrible incident in December.

We hope that 2023 sees some of the light and joy return to the gig and festival experience for us but, after years of seeing so many incredible artists, acts and music live, we’re likely to be taking a more considered approach to the events we attend, possibly only attending those gigs or festivals where we’re confident of the quality of the show and our surroundings.

That’s not to say 2022 hasn’t brought us a lot of very happy memories though. See for yourself in our 2022 highlights!
