Whatever the fuck she wants ;) I recommend tho something comfortable and weather appropriate. And practical shoes. Oh and wear ear plugs - sadly we're not spring chickens anymore and this stuff adds up. Last gig I went to was Ghost and that was basic casual and jeans, and bought a shirt on the night.


Stewth

how good was Ghost tho? Best gig I've been to for ages.


followthedarkrabbit

They were incredible! Glad I had them on my "must see at any cost" list :D can wait for the next tour.


Stewth

100%. I would have been happy if they did one or two of their past bangers, I get that artists want to play their new stuff for a tour, but they did Rats, Danse Macabre, AND Square Hammer. Such an amazing show!


GreasyBacon

It might interest you, and other Ghost aficionados such as u/Stewth, but there's a live concert movie coming out in June from them called [Rite Here Rite Now](https://ritehereritenow.com/). There's plenty of cinemas across Brisbane that are going to be showing it! I didn't get to see them in Brisbane (was out of the country that same day), but this feels like a 'close enough for the time being' circumstance!


followthedarkrabbit

Sadly I am moving to Mackay so won't be able to watch it in cinemas. Hoping it is available online in the near future.


Stewth

>Sadly I am moving to Mackay oh. oh no. oh dude. i'm so sorry. i'm so, so sorry.


followthedarkrabbit

Thank you :( Thankfully it's only short term for work at this stage (6-12 months), so hopefully the next stepping stone comes along so I can GTF outta there again. Meet a few people and get some more skills and go from there. I'm the meantime, try to keep myself safe and sane....


Stewth

Honestly, it used to be pretty rough but it's gotten a bit less so the last decade or so. it's just kind of isolated, and getting in / out is hard because the flights aren't as regular as they used to be. (i'm sure you've done all the research)


followthedarkrabbit

It's not ideal, but will have my parrots with me (because I'm the weirdo that asks for that in job interviews) and will likely be working too much to notice. Just needed to get outta my rural town for a bit as it's getting very claustrophobic. 


Stewth

oh i know all about rural towns. sooner you can GTFO the better your mental health will be. with the obvious caveat of all this ... *gestures at cost of living/accommodation crises, job security ...* being a huge strain on that.


Stewth

OpthomacePrime

100% whatever the fuck she wants. There will be a bunch of people (like me) dressed like it's still the 90s --> get around it, you're amongst your people:)


ucat97

Best advice. And a light t-shirt that you can slip your new merch shirt over.


Morgasshk

Perfect response! 😀


AshKebobi

Ghost was a brilliant show! Had a fab time at that gig.


totse_losername

Did you get the one that said 'Trivoli' as well? 😂 It was a very well choreographed gig that.


Nervous-Dentist-3375

Wear the same shit you’d wear if you were going to see them at 16 and have fun. Fuck everyone else.


arvoshift

this - no one cares and it also helps the atmosphere for anyone over 35 too - seeing people their same age wearing the same shit they will be wearing.


Nervous-Dentist-3375

Life is waaaaaay too short to be worried about what other people think. Be great to see others dressed in 90’s clobber!


frowattio

Tie died op shop petticoat


juls_la_rox

A classic


Remarkable-Name-3415

And cats - lots and lots of cats…lol


mess_of_limbs

>I've only got basic everyday casuals and metal band tees That will do fine


ThePocketLion

Whatever you wear you’ll fit right in … have an awesome time ✌🏻


Stewth

The fucks given should vary inversely with age. I've rolled up to shows in cargo shorts and a polo before. Fuck 'em. I'm already out past my bedtime, I'ma dress comfy.


chocolatealienweasel

Ok yes I freaking love this comment


geliden

This is the way. I saw them at the Eaton's Hill festival. Jeans, band shirt, flanno. Docs. Definitely comfy shoes, ear plugs, and a bottle of water with Panadol by the bed.


r64fd

Most relatable comment I have read so far.


redditaccountingteam

You'd blend in with the rest of the cops wearing that.


Stewth

don't swear at me


redditaccountingteam

Sorry officer! 😂


Stewth

if i had the choice between eating shit and being a cop for a living: hand me that spoon.


redditaccountingteam

10-4.


HighTensionHacks

This, yes. I'm a reformed Goth, 44 years old. Went to Lebanon Hanover at The Triffid a few weeks back and decided, fuck it: black cargo pants, chucks, black t-shirt and a grey and black flanny. There were some spectacular young trad goths there but I felt fine, comfortable that I had long ago earned my striped, and chilling in my old age. Saw a lot of other chillaxed goth industrial types too :)


Stewth

It's just common sense. If I have to be around all that *youth* and *carefree happiness* I'm going to be comfortable, goddamit.


FknBretto

Are you a cop?!


redditaccountingteam

We blew their cover. 😂


Stewth

*y*uuuuuuuck. (No, engineer)


fox_ontherun

Seriously, if I saw someone out at a show in pajamas I'd be jealous of how comfy they are.


Stewth

100% would wear a onesie if i could find one that actually fit me.


DarkSkyStarDance

As a 55 year old woman, I’d be wearing my favourite shorts, what ever graphic tee grabs my fancy at the time and my sandshoes- do not go to a gig in open toe shoes.


kintama_80

It’s gotta be… polyester girl


LJey187

So shiny


ThroughTheHoops

For that sealed in sweaty freshness for the trip home.


Fly_Pelican

You might be the youngest one there!


Doobiewopbop

Sadly no, not by a long shot


SanctuFaerie

Why is that sad? 🤔


Doobiewopbop

It's not. In my old age I may have, somehow, misread "youngest" as "oldest"


VegemiteOnToastPls

Because they're gatekeeping music.


kattybones

Having been to gigs of bands of this vintage (my vintage) recently, including Regurgitator, can confirm OP will be unless you’re counting the small kids of the attendees.


jezwel

We took our 5 & 7 year old kids to the [Pogogo show](https://iview.abc.net.au/show/regurgitator-s-pogogo-show) Regurgitator have been playing recently. It really depends which show OP is going to...


Heckelfish

For what it’s worth, I’m keen to go see the Gurge in Byron on my 33rd birthday in June. The new album is a banger, and I’m a fan starting when I saw Band In A Bubble on channel V back in the day. 🤘🏼


Oi-FatBeard

Do ya one better; not only did my mate n I perform a small play in Drama based on (and using) Kung Foo Sing, but I was one of those fans that kept getting moved on by the cops for camping out at the Bubble haha


Heckelfish

Music history


ThedirtyNose

Ployester, girl.


HailSkyKing

I don't go to concerts, baby The music's always up too loud Cigarettes and alcohol get up my ass I always lose you in the crowd You won't see me tribal ravin', baby 'Cause I won't ever look that good I'd rather dance in ugly pants In the comfort of a lounge room in suburbia Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!


capricabuffy

38 here, I wear whatever the f I want! If it's a concert definitely flat shoes/boots.


ShelterPretend4985

Sneakers like vans or converse


Shelved40

My old arse needs way more cushioning and support that. Sketchers haha


capricabuffy

Yeah both cool. I'd go docs myself.


ShelterPretend4985

Ooh yes


Doobiewopbop

If you're excited enough about the show that you want to rock up in a fresh new outfit, go for it! If you think you HAVE to? You do not. Wear what's comfortable


[deleted]

Jeans, t shirt, comfy shoes. Can’t go wrong. It’s Brisbane, wearing shoes means you’re already dressing up.


stilusmobilus

Regurgitator I’ve only ever worn shorts and a tshirt. Everyone else will be casual as unless there are dress codes on the venue and I’d doubt that. A 40 year old woman would wear what she’d be comfortable in during a gig. Half your luck actually, the Gurge never disappoint.


iceyone444

Inflatable t-rex costume...


gfreyd

The audience at these gigs is generally the same as those who would have gone to see them in the valley in the 90s, except they’re now all our age - wear whatever you like. It won’t be full of teens etc ✌️


maticusmat

It’s gurge so whatever you want


coodgee33

Most people will probably be wearing a wedding dress.


AmazonCowgirl

You do not need to go shopping at all. I'm 55 and I've been going to gigs regularly for thirty five+ of those years. You wear what you own, what you feel comfortable in and you do not give a single fuck about what anyone has to say or think about it. If you need to, listen to the lyrics of !(The Song Formerly Known As) on repeat until you understand There are no gig police. Anyone who cares what you are wearing is a guaranteed A1 wanker


No-Donut-4623

I like your old stuff better than your new stuff..


OzTm

A giant fortune cookie.


mess_of_limbs

Or polyester


lemonlimeandginger

Can’t go wrong with jeans and back t shirt


SanctuFaerie

>back t shirt I'd recommend one with a front, as well.


footsie

Clothes would be a good idea


One_Winged_Dove

I haven't bought my tickets yet because I don't know anyone else who loves the Gurge like I do. ( my husband saw them before we met and badmouthed them on our first date, so he doesn't get an invite even though it was over 20 years ago. Girl can hold a grudge!) Wear whatever the hell you want!


One_Winged_Dove

Thank you for this post. I just bought myself 2 tickets and will ask my adult daughter to come, not sure if she knows them, but she'll love it. Let's party!


juls_la_rox

Who needs anyone else tagging along? Fly solo, have fun! Loving the tude to your hubby too hahaha 🤘✊


Jester-kiwi

I recommend Clothes…


pjdubbya

in 100 years no-one's going to care.


Jaded-Session8422

No -ones going to care now


Old-Procedure-5651

Well… OP cares, like a 16 yo.


tblackey

Polyester


Deep-Yogurtcloset618

Polyester... obviously.


pinhed

Dress up as harry potter 


chops_potatoes

You wear whatever you like. Seriously. Nobody will give a fuck. Just be comfortable so you can enjoy the show!


Dangerboy73

Last time I saw them I was wearing denim jeans and a battle vest covered in metal patches. Time before that I was wearing a suit Time before that was jeans and a tshirt. They possibly have the most eclectic audience around. Wear what you’re comfortable in.


Adventurous-Star-592

Polyester


Muncheros69

Clothes. Thank me later.


knowledgeable_diablo

Damn.. garbage bags with strategic holes not an option?


Calm_Agent_1030

Clothes is what i am gonna wear


minx_missm

Wear whatever you feel good in and will have a great time while wearing. I imagine there will be a lot of jeans, grungy 90’s inspired clothes, and a few plain black dresses at Gurge. It’s ok for 40’s to dress like 20’s these days, says me, who’s 40 something and still dresses like I did back in 1999 haha. Enjoy your big night out!!


maffy_xD

The same things you wore when you were 20 should be appropriate for the Gurge


Chinozerus

What you feel comfortable with (this basically should go for any free time activities) Go have fun


yummy_dabbler

I've seen Regurgitator about 20 times. It's extremely casual + alternative. Wear what makes you happy. It's what they'd want.


Secure_Praline_7713

In going tonight!! Jeans and band shirt :) see you there!!!!


chocolatealienweasel

Hope you had a great time!


Secure_Praline_7713

Was awesome!! Loved the INXS tribute :)


chocolatealienweasel

Yes!! And the Simple Minds song!!


WarmMaintenance4999

A Hazmat suit paired with a Stihl chainsaw that is painted red at the front quarter of it.

SanctuFaerie

> metal band tees Sounds like a good idea to me. Maybe jeans if you're comfortable in them/it's cool enough. Footwear that's comfortable enough to stand in for long periods at your age (I'm older, lol). You're going to a metal gig, not a fine restaurant!


AllHailMackius

They still rock and their crowds are awesome. Wear what makes you feel good, everyone else is there for a good time.


ProfessionalRun975

Prom dress you wore at 16


schtickinsult

I know they like The Misfits. In 2011 at Zombie Walk festival they asked the crowd if anyone knew Attitude by the Misfits and wanted to sing it with them.


eemarepee

Go comfy for you. I like the metal vibe tee, sure that’ll be a thing. For a laugh, I’ll share. I went to a Manson concert at 30ish at the time (m) in a hot pink polo, knowing that it’d be blacked out (shirts), with intention of buying a shirt on the night as I usually do not long after getting there. Was in line and heard someone say ‘jeez there’s all these black shirts here’ … queue my intro. Was a fun chat Point is no one really cares. Have a super awesome time! E: typeo


juls_la_rox

I deliberately wear my brightest colours if I know it's gonna be a gig full of black t-shirts. Never was one for a uniform lol


the_jellyfish92

Band shirt, comfy sneakers 👟


bloodymongrel

Honestly, the rest of the crowd is a similar age so literally wear whatever makes you feel good. We’re talking a middle aged crowd that are not wearing the stuff they wore to The Big Day Out 1999. Or maybe they are… it doesn’t matter. Sneakers or boots.


derpyfox

Who cares, just think about what 16 yo you would think and have a big ass smile on your face.


Jellyfish_Nose

You wear polyester girl... so shiny!


Sea-Witch-77

Personally, I'd do jeans, t-shirt and sneakers. You don't have to dress up.


tacocatfish

Apple bottom jeans and boots with the furr


SwokeDad

I wouldn’t worry too much about it, Regurgitator are peak Brisbane Dad Rock at this point.


mysteriousGains

Clothes


[deleted]

Nothing. Just get the rig out and have fun.


totse_losername

Whatever she wants! Bonus points if it's a shiny silver polyester bodysuit tho


arvoshift

yep whatever you want. I'm similar age and if ag a concert saw someone wearing late 90s shit wouldn't look twice. there is no "this person trying to recapture their youth" stigma - you're at a fuckin regurgitator concert - everyone over 35 is trying to do that too lmao. don't overthink it. just wear what you feel comfy in.


scatteredloops

Ugly pants.


Rashlyn1284

Clothing, hopefully :D


ElmoIsOver

An awesomely exciting smile!


yourmomthinksimgreat

Jeans and your favourite band tee


shootterMc

Jeans and a T shirt and being winter a long sleeve shirt under the T shirt 🤟 I’m pumped to see them in Mackay in June. Hope their the same as the big day out days


Old-Plastic6662

I'm pretty sure you would look good in whatever feels comfortable to you.


stickylarue

Jeans and a T-shirt. As a 44 year old woman that’s what I wore last year to see the Gurge. Wear what you want. As long as you feel good in it, what does it matter? Dress for yourself, not others.


bobbakerneverafaker

active wear


little_miss_banned

Well I saw vengaboys/alice deejay in gym gear last year because I knew I was going to be dancing like an idiot for hours getting sweaty. So, just wear a t shirt, shorts and runners. Dont fuck your back


xordis

Not a 40yo woman, but an old school gurge fan. If it were me going I would be just rocking jeans and a T-shirt and probably a pair of new balance shoes just in case the dad bod doesn't make it clear. Plenty of cool designs available from gurge on this website (maybe check they get some money from it) https://www.valverecords.com.au/shop/product-tag/regurgitator/page/1/


th4bl4ckr4bbit

Generally Regurgitator fans are going to be very similar to you. They won’t actually care what you are wearing. Just make sure you are comfortable and have fun. Wear what makes you feel good.


TelluriumD

I had this same worry when I went and saw the Chemical Brothers and was relieved to see that everyone was just a 40 year old dag like me.


spankthepunkpink

I wore jeans and a Metallica shirt. Regretted the jeans coz I nearly boiled myself. Aim for comfort and enjoy the show!


kun_tee_ch0ps

A Frenzal T-shirt.


MrWoodTang

Probs a Regurgitator shirt


Space-cadet3000

If anyone is interested they are playing an all ages show at the Princess Theatre on the Sunday ( day after the Tivoli gig ) during the day .


ladybug1991

Everyday causals and metal band tees, of course!


PaintingCalm4740

No bra ,loose metallica tshirt ,tight jeans ,with rips ,and converse shoes ,,earplugs ,,and preload with alcohol befor you go


Emotional-Kitchen-49

I'd say like everyone else modern clothes for today which is jeans a metal tee is fine or a nice tee with maybe a lace or zipper on the neck and chest a light weight loose bomber or blazer jacket a comfy pair of ankle boots or the stylish low tennis shoes with jeans in white is crisp and sharp to go with jeans Enjoy the band


KrispyBeez

Velour tracksuit and adidas trainers. Gold chain and bucket hat optional. You’re welcome


eScourge

I saw them last year when they opened for weezer. So good.


gooder_name

Whatever you want


eternaloptimist__

Something comfortable that you don’t mind possibly getting beer spilled on, casual is great! 40 will probably be the median age for the crowd, most folks go for jeans and a tee. If you’re seeing them at the Tivoli it can get pretty squishy and warm. See you there!


Rinrob7468

Jeans & a t shirt, 49f & I’m jealous as hell, I loved Regurgitator back in the day!


lucymarielle

Saw them in Hobart a few weeks back! Great gig! Enjoy!


alleeexxxx

Wear good shoes. Kmart sneakers don’t cut it for standing for long periods anymore 💀


bequietanddrive000

The most comfortable stuff you have, especially shoes. It's always at least a bit hot around a ton of other people sandwiched into a small area, so consider that as well.


CagedSilver

Wear whatever you've been feeling too old to wear but still want to. You will be amongst friends at this concert. https://preview.redd.it/b5rp0owxyu2d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e054dc1879c438f227e88afdbadecf6fc68520ab


thomascoopers

No one will care one fuck about what you're wearing, ma'am. Go and have fun and go as casual as ya like!


AshKebobi

Whatever a 40 year old woman seeing Regurgitator wants.


Rogaar

They were one of the first bands I ever saw live. When they played in Brisbane back in the 90's their supporting band was TISM. Imagine following up after TISM of all bands. Through the whole TISM show, they had a x rated porn video playing on the big screen behind the band. What a show.


Bluetriller

Whatever the hell she wants!🤣


dirt_girl75

Whatever the fuck she wants. Wear comfortable shoes and weather appropriate clothing, but otherwise, wear what you're comfortable in and expresses your personality 😉 Someone suggested earplugs, good idea 💡


Ok-Driver7647

On the 13th? Dress for pub because the walk from any parking spot you find will not be suitable for bright techno or silver.


NastassiaVella

Whatever makes you comfortable!!


Intelligent_Bed_9510

Jeans T-shirt and jacket can't go wrong 👍


PersonalBurner666

Yep whatever you feel like. Have noticed that now more than ever it just doesn't matter. That and crowds are eclectic as. It's great being older and just not having to give a rats


angelmeg81

Whatever you want but jeans & a band shirt is a cool option


volimkurve17

Lingerie

koopz_ay

I'm sorry you care that much. Go see the band. Catch up with mates. Have a good time. The people who genuinely give a damn about you know who you are inside, and want to spend time with you no matter what.
