Summer Concert Radar

By: Jodi Rothfeld

I think I accidentally started a thing.

Bon Jovi at MSG was supposed to be just a night out. No camera, no photo pass, just me in the seats with my phone and a whole lot of nostalgia. But it reminded me why I love this so much.

The lights. The crowd. The songs everyone knows. The way a room changes when a band hits the right moment.

So yes, summer concert season is officially on my radar.

I’m especially excited that Breaking Benjamin and Starset are on a lineup together again. That pairing just makes sense to me — heavy, emotional, cinematic, dramatic in the best way. The kind of show where the lights matter almost as much as the music.

And honestly, that’s what I want Three Songs In to be.

Not just perfect photo pit coverage. Not just “here’s what they played.” More like: here’s what it felt like to be there.

The bands I already love.
The openers I didn’t expect.
The songs I forgot still hit.
The weird favorites.
The phone videos.
The real camera when I’m lucky enough to bring it.
The little moments that stick.

Bon Jovi was the first real dispatch.

Summer is next.
