First gig where you were older than the lead singer ?

if you stick with your early bands it can be YEARS before this happens
(support bands and festivals don't count)

Good question! I’m not sure I even know.
Does it have to be someone you want to see specifically (headliner) or does it count if they happen to be the support band at a show or if it’s just someone you ended up seeing at a festival?
If support and random festival bands count it’ll be when radish we’re supporting someone I went to watch. I was only a teenager but the singer was about 15-16 years old at the time and therefore younger.
In terms of headline bands, I’m really not sure. I’m somewhat stuck in the past so most/all of mine are older than me.

Blimey could be a number of bands but I think it was probably Spontaneous Combustion at the Chez Club in Leytonstone supporting Stray

I can't get my head around the question.... are we meant to know the ages of the bands lead singers we have seen in the past and then work out if we are older than them?? Why??

Accidentally saw Kasabian once. Presume they are younger than me.
But other than that pretty much no one.

Probably Silverchair in '97
Though it was at a festival and I would not have gone to them alone. Nothing against them, had some decent songs.

Joe Strummer. I'm guessing that all punks were younger than me but I didn't see many punk bands play. Saw the Clash in 1978 though.
Everybody's younger than me now.

I believe it would have been Tom Barman, of dEUS. Early 90s.
I didn't think about it at the time, and I'm not sure it would have bothered me; not like I am now bothered that not only am I older than the football players I watch, but I'm now older than quite a few managers. Fuck that.

Tough one as like a proper old fart, I've mostly stuck to seeing bands that I liked when I was much younger.
Would therefore likely be either Paramore, Biffy Clyro or Alter Bridge (just).
