I know for a fact that Big Jeff here has been to almost 86 gigs in a month, let alone in a year.

Myself, I saw about 150 last year and that's excluding the ten or so gigs I had tickets to but didn't go to because of :D ANXIETY :D

Anyway, I want my Guinness World Records certificate, and I want it now.
 
Does seeing a dozen bands at a festival count as a dozen gigs? Or is the festival one gig? In case of the latter, how do you realistically get to 86 in a month...?

Individual festival shows count, but support acts at headline shows don't.

I was wondering cause I used to go to a multiday festival (Lowlands) where I would see 30-40 acts each year. I mean really see - maybe not the full show but enough to get a good impression. That way, I can see the 86.

(I may have gotten over a 100 myself at some point - but over the course of a full year!)
