Concerts: Live Shows, News and Practical Tips

Want up to date concert news and simple tips for shows near you? Desert Rose Daily collects event coverage, pop ups, live streams and safety alerts in one place. We cover surprise gigs like the Brooklyn pop up from Fred again.. with Skepta and Plaqueboymax, stadium returns, and online launches on Twitch. Use this page to find ticket alerts, streaming links and venue notes without hunting multiple sites.

How to find and buy tickets

Buy from trusted sellers and check the venue box office first. Set alerts on ticket sites and follow artists and venues on social for last minute drops. For big shows consider verified resale platforms to avoid fake tickets. Check delivery options early — mobile entry is common but some local venues still use physical tickets.

At the venue: stay safe and enjoy

Plan your route and leave extra travel time. If weather is a factor check warnings — coastal events sometimes face high waves or winds. That matters especially after recent Yellow Level 2 alerts for the Western Cape coast. Pack light, bring ID, and locate first aid and exits as soon as you arrive. Keep valuables at home or inside sealed pockets and use cashless payments where possible.

Want to stream instead of going out? Many artists now stream launches on Twitch or offer pay per view options. Remember costs can add up — DAZN pay per view for big fight cards and ticketed streams for pop ups are common. Streaming is handy if travel or safety are issues, and it still supports the artists.

What about transport and costs? High transport fares can eat your budget, so check options ahead. A public figure recently pushed for subsidies to ease commuter costs for low paid workers, which shows transport matters for concert access.

Need quick safety pointers? Travel in groups if you can and keep friends updated on your plans. Avoid risky spots near water at night, especially during bad weather alerts. Report suspicious behaviour to staff right away and use venue help points.
