We've all got one. That one band that when you hear is going on tour you stop everything you're doing to make sure you're there. Music fans everywhere can agree that live shows are often roller coasters of emotions. I've pulled together the 16 phases every tune junkie who's been to a concert knows all too well.

FYI: *This post is best read with your favorite, nostalgic artist playing in the background*

1. Hearing rumors your favorite band/artist is going on tour.

"Could it be true? Are they finally coming back? I've got to investigate..."

2. Getting confirmation that your favorite band/artist is going on tour.

"Oh God!! It's true!! It's really happening!! They're coming back!! I NEED TO GO."

3. Immediately checking what cities near you they're playing at.

"Wait, they're coming to NYC, Philly and Jersey!?"

4. Deciding if you'll go to just one or all of the local shows they're playing near you.

"Well, maybe I can ask someone for the second show for a holiday present... and the third for an early birthday gift!!"

5. Making sure you're at a computer when tickets go on sale.

"And by sick I mean the venue's website isn't mobile friendly, so I need to be at my laptop to get these tickets instead of going out with you."

6. Purchasing tickets, for you and your friends, regardless of knowing who's coming with you.

"I'm definitely going. I've got an extra ticket if you want to come, but either way I'm definitely going."

7. Starting a countdown until the day you're reunited with your love(s).

"It's okay, it's only 50 days away! That's only 1200 hours! That's only 72000 MINUTES!"

8. Deciding what you're going to wear to the show.

"What do I have that says 'I'm always punk rock chic' without actually being punk rock chic?"

9. Heading to the venue hours before doors open just to be at the front of the general admission line.

"We've got to get there first! I've got to be in the front of the crowd! It won't be the same from the middle!"

10. Running to the barricade as soon as the doors open.

11. Screaming your heart out to all of your favorite tunes.

12. Deciding if you're going to buy just one or all of the merch after the show.

"I NEED this poster, but the t-shirt goes better with my collection! Looks like I have to get both!"

13. Hanging around the venue after the show in hopes of "bumping into" your idol(s).

"Is that him? Oh my GOD it's him. Okay be cool. Be cool... uhhh great show... I LOVE YOU!"

14. Going into work/school the next day still on your music high.

"Oh, don't mind me, I just went to this amaaaazing concert last night. You should've been there..."

15. Starting to come down and experience post-concert depression.

"I can't believe it's over already. WHEN ARE THEY COMING BACK!?"

and finally...

16. Starting the search for your next concert experience.

"Alright, that was fun. Who's in town next?"

Rock on, friends!
