    Concerts in 2023: 

    • In 19 days of concerts I saw 78 bands live, 10 of them twice (Soen, Obituary, Killswitch Engage, Insomnium, In Flames, Haken, Grave Digger, Gatecreeper, Blind Guardian, Bleed From Within) and one of them 3 times (Beast in Black)
    • I went to a concert every month of the year except May and September
    • Among those days 7 were festivals ( 1 at Alcatraz Metal Festival 2023, 1 at Dynamo Metal Fest 2023, 4 at Graspop Metal Meeting 2023, and 1 at Summer Breeze Brazil 2023) and then 8 other locations with Trix being the top visited with 4 days
    • I saw 38 bands in 4 days at Graspop and 12 in one day at Alcatraz  
    • Only one concert with one band was not a metal act
    • Most of the shows were great, but the absolute highlights were Iron Maiden and Pantera. Those are already among the top shows of my life.
