The emotional impact can be because of the energy of the crowd and sometimes even the artist. Concerts provide people with a safe and secure environment where emotions are allowed to be released. To the comfort of the crowd. To the song the artist is singing. You are allowed to cry and feel all emotion.
Community

Live music’s community element is especially significant in a society when social isolation and loneliness are becoming major public health issues. Offering a starting point for communicating with others, the love for an artist can bring people together & easily lets conversations spark. These connections sometimes continue after an event and continue to foster themselves into the other person’s life.
