Podcast – Music

Since this week our topic is music, I’ve decided that our podcast should be somehow connected to music. So, let’s not waste time and get things going by clicking here to listen to the podcast.

Your task is to write about a concert or show you’ve been to recently or a while ago. But, if you haven’t been to a concert you can easily make one up.

Here’s the list of vocabulary and chunks that I might be useful while you are writing your comment.

* venue

* bad seat in the house

* street parking

* snag a spot

* bouncer

* get to the head of sth

* check one’s tickets

* put a wrist band on sb

* roped-off section

* VIP

* groupies

* opening act

* start boo-ing sb

* rowdy

* riot

* headlining band

* cheer

* happy camper

* turn out to be + noun
