We are going to a rock concert (ELO) next month. I haven't been to one for years and dont know what to wear. I got as far as black jeans and boots and got lost. I thought black t shirt but that's a bit predictable. Any ideas would be great - happy to spend on this. Thank you

If it's outdoor, wear something warm, comfortable, and that you won't cry if it gets ruined. Oh and take a shewee, toilet queues are forever. And hand sanitizer. And your own food and drink if it's allowed.

IMO, hoodies are for under 25s, not mature women...or men.

Teetime, oh how I envy you.
An ELO Concert !!!!!!
Fantastic. One of the BEST bands ever.
All I can say is wear something cool, as in you will probably get very hot, especially if you are able to dance around amongst crowds of other fans. T-shirt and Jeans always works. If the concert is outdoors, then do get yourself a simple plastic 'poncho' just in case it rains. They are cheap, and you can get them from shops that sell Tents, walking shoes etc. They fit easily into your handbag too.
But then again you may have Mr Blue Sky.??.
I hope that you have a really, really, wonderful time Teetime

Indoors it can be very hot. Wear something washable and trainers or flat boots eg Doc Martins so that it will not hurt too much if someone steps on your toes. I take an atomiser of water to spry myself and a fan. often find myself surrounded by youngsters asking to be sprayed and saying they wish they had thought of it. And Gabriella at 71 I wear a hoodie when appropriate.

They are amazing Menopaws - I saw them at Leeds Festival some years ago but this was incredible. It's on Youtube if you look it up - someone filmed the whole concert!!

Thankfully its indoors - Birmingham Arena and a nice hotel as a base and booked taxis- too old to rough it now.
