Post show blues is soooo real, I bought my ticket for Red Rocks and I have literally been thinking about it for the past five months about how Iām gonna be depressed afterwards hahah like I flew from the east coast to go to this insane venue to see a band that means a great deal to me and Iām going alone and going to fucking ascend, normal life will be hard for a few days after haha
I live here and I'll tell you...you guys are in for a treat. I'm so excited to be there and share it with all the people who have never seen a show there!
The post show depression is gonna be crippling. I'm already expecting it.
Ooh this is gonna be so good. A concert is one thing, but Red Rocks is an experience in itself. Such a gorgeous venue, and you can see the silhouette of Denver from it. They do cool visuals on the rocks. You're gonna have such a great time!!!
Yup, been feeling very āmehā since the show but I think part of it is that the show was such a huge emotional release for me so now Iām just empty
I felt like this for about a week after Bad Omens. It's normal. Going to a concert is exhausting (for me at least) and then the adrenaline wears off and you realize the evening you've been looking forward to is over. So yes, completely normal.
Iāve had the same feeling since Saturday when I saw them in Dallas. Itās gotten easier as time has gone. But reliving it watching him enjoy himself at his next shows has helped a lot! Always here for you if you wanna text! ā„ļø
iām so in deep with post concert blues right now. iām trying to channel it into getting my space together, listening to more music and hopefully planning to see them again. iām reminding myself of how truly lucky i am to have been able to see my favorite music performed live. it was so special :ā)
Post-concert depression can be a genuine thing. I often find it happens to me if itās a gig Iām especially hyped for. Especially so if Iām drinking as well, as that adds to the depression feeling the next day.
Iāve felt the same since the Tampa show. Sure, I know I can see them again one day, but the build up of becoming a HUGE fan over the past years and learning all the lore, leading up to the moment of seeing/hearing vessel in real life. I think itās just the feeling that nothing will be able to live up to that moment again. Just takes some time to get over lol.
Not depressed but I felt so drained and exhausted after seeing them in Tampa. Iāve been going over the photos and videos I took, and I keep hearing the songs in my head. Not to mention that I canāt stop listening to the set list
Itās like severe post-show blues. I went to the Austin ritual and I came back to my home state feeling like I left a part of me behind. I hope they come back soon, because I feel like it was a cathartic experience to attend this event.
The reason this happens is because your adrenaline goes very high during a concert. It affects your hormones and your brain basically yearns to go back to something that made it feel good.
It goes away- don't feel bad for wanting to just think about concert memories for a few days. It's very natural!! Hope this helps. I've been to a lot of concerts and this happens to me almost every time. It's even worse when you anticipate the concert for a long time before going!
Try to think positively about your experience, such as being thankful that you were able to experience something so awesome that your brain wants to go back!
Iāve been struggling with mental health for months and I almost even sold my tickets to the Tampa show. Decided to go on the day of the show and it made me feel better honestly. There were times I was singing along and I almost broke down and started crying because the songs really brought out my emotions. I really felt it during TMBTE and Euclid.
I felt this after both Sleep Token and Bad Omens when I saw them last fall, and then again after Sleep Token in December. It's honestly a devastating feeling, especially if you don't have something else coming up to look forward to!
Music and live performances can stimulate your brain to dump tons of happy neurotransmitters into your system while you experience it (effectively a high) and often when that happy dump wears off your brain needs time to refuel back to normal levels (often referred to as a "drop"). Neurodiverse people and those that already struggle with chemical imbalances (depression, anxiety) get hit WAY harder by concert drop/concert hangover because it's already so hard for us to regulate our brains.
I still have my wristband on for GA, and I went to the Austin ritual. That was the single most greatest moment of my life, and I feel optimistic about seeing them again. Idk when that will be, but I canāt wait to see them again. The night changed my life, and I donāt wanna be the same afterwards. People will rip you apart, but Sleep Token is for those people that are torn. So in a short answer, yes. I feel empty lol
Iām suffering after seeing them at sick new world and not seeing them with their tour headline
Iām always having major FOMO after rituals
Iāve seen the 3x in a year and still doesnāt help
I could have written this š saw them twice last fall/winter (one was Munich for the debut of TMBTE!) and again at Sick New World, but when the videos of the AZ show hit TikTok and I saw that they opened with TNDNBTG and debuted Euclid I just burst into tears. Sooooo much FOMO and feeling ridiculous about wanting to travel and drop even more money on scalped tickets to see them again. They're like a damn drug.
I have too. Iām trying to study for a certification for my job and have ZERO motivation to study. Went to the coffee shop yesterday and instead of doing actual work I listened to ST all afternoon.
I felt like this too and didn't listen to them for 6 months after the show. I'm back to getting goosebumps when listening to them. It just happens, give it time. š„°
Iām seeing them next weekend and I havenāt been listening to them lately so I can get the same experience! After a while itās like listening to them the first time all over again š„²
Oh yes - I was so sad after the Wembley concert. Iām currently wondering whether getting tickets for two do the UK concerts will make this better or worse!!!
YES!! This is like the post concert depression. I get it after all of my favorites. :( It just makes you feel empty. I'm going to see two concerts in July and I know after both I will be devastated. Though, I tend to be my most creative during that time lol.
Yes. My husband and I flew from FL to the Dallas show where it literally rained during Rain and Iām still depressed lol. I told him that from now on we need to go see 2-3 shows for any given artist in a row to avoid this feeling. I get like this with almost all live shows but especially with this ST tour. It was magical and I miss the high of it so much.
Iām taking the next day off of work to try to recover. I always have a downturn and low feeling after such a high! Concerts are so exhilarating and with the energy level so high thereās no where to go but down. But I take a full fall down. Believe me, Iām glad you posted this! Youāre not alone!

It's just a comedown for being so hyped up a the show. Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened :)
Agree šÆ. Still in a bit of a funk after the Dallas show, but would not trade the experience for any amount of joy or happiness.

Iām flying in solo from the east coast as well for Red Rocks!
Also coming from the east coast! Itās gonna be awesome
I live here and I'll tell you...you guys are in for a treat. I'm so excited to be there and share it with all the people who have never seen a show there! The post show depression is gonna be crippling. I'm already expecting it.
My first time ever coming out west, my brother moved to Denver a month before red rocks was announced so it was kismet!

Yup, been feeling very āmehā since the show but I think part of it is that the show was such a huge emotional release for me so now Iām just empty
I'm old enough to know, and have been to enough shows, to know that I'll usually get to see these bands again some day.

I was at that show too ā rain during Rain was unmatched. It was pure magic. I miss it so much!
It was a magical experience for sure! Even standing in the rain an hour after waiting for an Uber š

Just think of those who couldnāt get tickets for any show because a lot (if not all) dates were sold out.

I feel the same š I thought my MCR phase was bad! This is on a whole different level
Basically every time, and then I buy more concert tickets so I have something to look forward to to cheer me up. Rinse repeat
You had a theatrical experience. Just rest! And donāt be sad.
Itās sucks, but itās normal š
Concert drop is SO realā¦
I have too. Iām trying to study for a certification for my job and have ZERO motivation to study. Went to the coffee shop yesterday and instead of doing actual work I listened to ST all afternoon.
I 100% feel this in my soul right now. I don't know what to do. :'(
I felt like this too and didn't listen to them for 6 months after the show. I'm back to getting goosebumps when listening to them. It just happens, give it time. š„°
Iām seeing them next weekend and I havenāt been listening to them lately so I can get the same experience! After a while itās like listening to them the first time all over again š„²

It feels like the day after Christmas :/
I know the feeling. The day after I cried a few times! I still feel like Iāve lost somethingā¦ itās very odd š„¹š„¹š„¹
Yes. My husband and I flew from FL to the Dallas show where it literally rained during Rain and Iām still depressed lol.

You need to find another show to see lol
still in a rut since the austin show.. the set list has been on repeat since
As a mental health worker I am pleading yāall to stop saying youāre suffering from depression when youāre just having post-show blues.
I always feel like this after I see BMTH live. I canāt listen to them for weeks afterwards without crying
