Just booked the tickets, this must be some sort of rite of passage surely?

Is it OK to go to your first gig with your Dad? He's only 11...I suspect I won't see him all night.

Yeah, it's ace! Taken my lad to quite a few over the years. A few months ago we both went to see Soulfly and he went off to the circle pit on his own. I was so proud...

good for you. I had the 'your not allowed to go to gigs until you are at least 16' from my folks - possibly because aged 11 I was into Iron Maiden and Slayer (shudder, and prays for forgiveness) - still didnt stop me sneaking off to see the stranglers in my later teens for my 1st proper gig - lots of middle aged men in jeans and black leather jackets - quite worrying really.

I hope I am the kind of parent that will take their kid to gigs and festivals - doc jr (17 months old) is already showing a liking for madness, duran duran and orbital - unortunately that is matched by enthusiasm for 50 cent and anything with booty in it (gyrating scantly clad girls seems to attract him to the tv like a fly to...)

Saw my first few gigs with my dad, Iron Maiden at brum odeon, Monsters of Rock at Donington, took my eldest to see McFly 2 years ago at the NEC, taking him to see AC/DC at Wembley next week, will be like old times as my old man is coming to see them too, 3 generations of votchy rocking!!!
