That said, there’s not enough fashion content for this type of concert, so please help me pin/share some of these pics down below – thanks loves; you are THE BEST!
1. What to wear to a Rock Band concert? Denim + band tee
Call me cliché, but seriously, you just can’t go wrong wearing a band tee to the Slipknot concert.
Before, there was a silly rule telling you can’t wear the band’s merch when you go to the concert. These days, people just don’t care anymore.
It’s the perfect time to show the rocker girl vibes, so wear whatever you want to!
Concert reminder 1: First thing first: locate the Bathrooms and Water Fountains!
When you arrive, do a quick scout. Know where the less crowded bathrooms are (often upstairs or in far corners).
Find the water fountain to get free refills instead of buying $6 water bottles <3
Thanks me later!
2. Black lips for Rock Band concert
Feeling extra spicy?
This cut-out band tank top is just perfect. (Black lips also help too!)
Whether you team it with casual jeans or leather pants, it just seals the deal.
Concert reminder 2: The Merch Table Trick
Anyone heard of this trick? :p
The lines are longest right before the headliner goes on and immediately after the show ends. The best time to shop is often during the opening act.
You’ll have more selection and shorter lines.
And in some cases, some venues have outdoor merch booths you can hit on your way out.
3. What to wear to a Rock Band festival
If you are looking for something lightweight and comfy with a tad of spiciness, this graphic tee below is for you.
Concert reminder 3: Protect Your Personal Space lol
Be aware of your surroundings.
Keep your purse zipped and your drink in your hand, not sitting on a ledge.
If you’re in a tight GA crowd, create a small base with your feet to maintain balance.
4. Rock Band concert outfit ideas: Fishnet
Of course, fishnet tights are another popular look for heavy metal concerts like Slipknot.
Go for a grunge look with fishnet tights and over-knee socks, just scream, “I’ve got a style and I KNOW it”
A rock concert is always the time to go rebellious.
Step out of your comfort zone! I mean, you may like your new look!
Concert reminder 4: After the shoe – have a Post-Show Meeting Spot!
Designate a specific, easy-to-find spot outside the venue (e.g., “that big tree next to the B entrance”) to meet your group if you get separated in the exiting rush <3
5. What to wear to the Metallica concert
When in doubt, go for anything with skull elements, and you will feel part of the gang.
To stay cool with minimal effort, throw on this skull graphic with a rock hand sign, and you’ll never feel anything from your outfit.
Need I say more? This look is to die for – save this for later!
Concert reminder 5: Pre-Plan Your Ride Home
This is literally the concert survival tip lol
Ride-share prices will be surging dramatically, and public transport may have stopped. Have a backup plan.
6. What to wear to a Rock Band concert guys
To grab people’s attention, a sarcastic quote T-shirt is always fun to wear to the concert.
If you are a gamer, this unisex “I paused my game to be here” tee is such a gem.
Whether you buy it for your boyfriend or wear it yourself, you guys are bound to have a great time.
Concert reminder 6: Hydrate and Rest and don’t plan anything intense the next day!
Concerts are literally a marathon. (Especially now I’m in my late 20s)
Drink plenty of water when you get home.
You might also want to take an anti-inflammatory (like ibuprofen) if you’ve been standing for hours to help with next-day soreness.
7. What to wear to a heavy metal concert?
If your jeans aren’t ripped enough, well, let’s pay an extra effort. Think heavily distressed jeans and sheer black tights.
A slipknot concert can be wild and you certainly want your outfit to keep up with that.
Concert reminder 7: When in doubt, a Ziploc Bag!
Sounds weird and lowkey ugly, but it’s incredibly versatile!
It can protect your phone from a spilled drink, keep your merch dry if it rains, or hold your earplugs cleanly.
8. Winter metal concert ideas
If the days are chilly out there, I say layer up your look.
A white long sleeve top with a black lace cami top and plaid pants just looks grunge in the best way.
Concert reminder 8: Bring Cash (But Not Too Much)
While most places are card-only, having a $20 bill can be magic for tipping merch table workers (gets you to the front faster) or buying a bottle of water from a lone vendor when card systems are down.
9. Stylish metal concert outfits: Low black top
The crowd at a heavy metal concert is a mix of everything. From super rock and roll to a fashionista look, it’s all doable.
If you to give your chest a boost, get this modern square neck blacktop to feel the best.
10. Metal concert outfit ideas: Statement pants
Step out of your comfort zone with this car racer girl look.
That statement of black and white checkered pant is to die for.
11. Chain belt for your jeans
Want to look concert-ready with your regular clothes? Throw on a chain belt and people will think you’ve given thought to your outfit.
As a budget-friendly choice, this belt from Amazon has the best quality.
12. What to wear to a mosh pit concert
If your love for the band is the “mosh pit” ticket level, you want to make sure you dress super comfy as you can.
After all, you will need to run and jump the whole time. It’s like doing HIIT for 3 hours straight – I’m not even kidding here.
For bottoms, I’d recommend the biker shorts for the mosh pit that are super stretchy and breathable.
13. What to wear to a mosh pit
So yes, I hope I’ve convinced you that mosh pit is pretty intense.
PRO TIP:
Make sure you are hydrated and rest well the night before.
You know, all the aggressive dancing, screaming, and the death of the wall (people bumping into each other), this thing is crazy.
Definitely not a good idea to bring your expensive designer clothes to the show. As for me, I will wear sweatpants for the concert! They are GREAT.

A lot of people are going to step on your feet so it’s best to wear hard-toe shoes like Dr. Martin or converse.
PRO TIP:
Remember to tie your shoes TIGHT if you are in the mosh pit. You can end up losing your shoes. (Someone from Reddit said that)
