Open-air concert

An open-air concert is a concert taking place outside a hall in the open air.

Overview

Open-air concerts can range from small, acoustic gatherings taking place at a municipal park, to large multi-day music festivals, involving some of the most famous music acts in the world. Nearly any type of music can be played at one of these concerts, and they frequently feature pop, folk, classical, or jazz artists. Largely electronic music, such as techno, are seldom featured because of the difficulties of staging the event. Some open-air concerts known as festivals take place over several days and feature a large number of different artists.

Facilities

Open-air concerts take great amounts of planning, to make sure that the stage is visible from the entire audience seating area. Frequently, the area directly in front of the stage is kept clear for dancing. In the case of punk concerts and other energetic music, this area becomes a mosh pit filled with a violently moving crowd. Generally, care is taken to keep the dancers off the stage, however at punk concerts, stagediving and other audience interaction are more common.

Open Air

by: Frank Ocean

I have my feet in the water and ride when I was bout to get up
Ohh suddenly I caught yea, with a hook line and sinker
You were swimming in the bottom (yea)
I said why you gonna live down there
Well baby you can love up here on land
And what a difference it makes you will see
What a difference it makes to breathing
What a difference it makes it easy to love
The open air makes it easy so easy to love
The open air makes it easy easy to love
I swear the air is so much better up here then down there
Ohh the air makes it easy easy to love
You said your feeling ways that you never
Couldn't feel with all that pressure
Use to being dark at night and your kinda afraid to realize
That you still crack a smile cuz it makes you feel alive
And what a difference it makes you will see
What a difference it makes to breathing
What a difference it makes it easy to love
The open air makes it easy so easy to love
The open air makes it easy easy to love
I swear the air is so much better up here then down there
Ohh the air makes it easy easy to love
Baby I could show you the world
And the city that's inside of my heart baby
Don't know how you got a man in the first place
Just promise that you wont go back in again
Its better up here you know
Just tryin my best to show you
You started to feel like your floating higher and higher and im ever the one the man that makes
The open air makes it easy so easy to love
The open air makes it easy easy to love
I swear the air is so much better up here then down there
Ohh the air makes it easy easy to love
The open air makes it easy so easy to love
The open air makes it easy easy to love
I swear the air is so much better up here then down there
