What To Wear To Pantera Concert?
It of course helps to dress appropriately for the occasion.
Every person who goes to a Pantera Concert needs to dress casually and be on the lookout for any violent mosh pit activity. Pantera is one of the first bands to be associated with groove metal and one of the most famous bands that are remembered for their stunning performances on stage as well as for the fact that their fans are rather aggressive and energetic, so, during the mosh-pit, the spectators collide with each other actively. As a result, being well-prepared with appropriate clothing to wear during a concert can ensure that one remains comfortable and safe while dancing. Below are the guidelines on what to wear to avoid perishing in the mayhem common in Pantera's performances.
Tops
Select a long-lasting t-shirt or tank top While not mandatory to dress as a rock star at the Pantera concert, having a black t-shirt with one of their record covers or logos would be perfect. This is in harmony with the band's concept and aids you in camouflaging with the other emo kids with their black t-shirts. Select a heavier cotton or poly fabric shirt to cope with the grabbing, spilling, or sweating times without getting ripped or see-through. Tank tops also fit, if worn under another garment such as Long Sleeve Shirt; however, they are vulnerable to being grabbed. It is also important to wear dry clothing and if you find the shirt you are wearing very sweaty, you should wear a second shirt to avoid feeling uncomfortable.
Pay attention to its comfort and ventilation Since you are likely to dance vigorously during the concert, your shirt should be loose and comfortable so that it does not hinder your movements or restrict your breathing. Cotton-rich fabrics that are mostly used in athletic apparel can be perfect to ensure that one does not sweat too much and get wet. Wear a vest or a thin long-sleeved shirt or hoodie below your t-shirt so that you can remove it and wear it around your waist should you feel warm.
T-shirts Punk concert t-shirts, military, or logo t-shirts layered underneath your jean or leather jacket, denim, or a jean jacket or vest bring the edge and warmth. Ensure that the cuts and lengths do not limit the activities of the characters in the scene. Protective clothing is also needed as the wheel barrel is made of sturdy material so that in case of a fall in the pit one does not get injured by the wheel coming into contact with the body.
Bottoms
Leggings / thick trousers As you do not want to end up with torn clothes or scraped legs, ensure that the leggings or thick trousers you wear are of a tough thickness and do not have any holes or tears on them. Avoid wearing fashionable jeans that are very skinny as they may easily get torn. Your jeans, therefore, should be fitted in a way that you will be able to move your body freely and jump without any hindrance.
Cargo pants or shorts The best cargo pants, army fatigue pants, or cargo shorts provide full mobility during moshing and have pockets for the necessities of the concert. Ensure that shorts are worn to mid-thigh level to avoid exposing bare skin or having them ripped off.
No loose ends Do not wear a belt with an extra-large buckle that might injure other moshers. Thread the belt loops or remove them by cutting the dangly belt loops off with zip ties.
Shoes
Sturdy boots or sneakers Depending on the distances between venues your choice of shoes should be sturdy boots or sneakers to protect your feet from the push-and-shove crowd and mosh pits. Laufschuhe, Doc Martens und grobprofilige Schuhe mit dicken Gummirändern und Skate-Shoesnen das am besten vertragen, wenn man darauf getreten wird. They should be worn ahead of time to prevent blisters. Safety shoes include steel-toe shoes that give the highest level of protection. High tops are very useful in supporting the ankles against sprains.
Soles Do not walk around with shoes with smooth soles since they will slip more easily than those with thick gripping soles. This avoids sliding over spilled drinks and other debris that may end up on the floor.
Don't wear flip-flops or shoes with thin bottom flops, sandals, and any thin materials will not be very durable and your feet will be open for a risk of getting hurt from pits, boots from crowd surfing, cigarettes, or bottles that people step on.
Accessories
Hats/bandanas Baseball caps and bandanas are some of the most important pieces of clothing that you wear during your hardcore show since they keep the sweat off your forehead during vigorous moshing and protect your head and face in case you fall and hit your head on the floor. It may also be wet and used to cool itself or used in cooling another's body. Don't wear any large belt buckles or anything that could potentially injure other people at the concert.
Sunglasses Save your eyes from the crowd of surfers' boots and flying elbow or any flying debris with sport wrap sunglasses. Choose frames that are robust and cannot easily get damaged since they would be exposed to blows. Although they are relatively small, it is advisable to bring a neck strap so that they do not fall off in the heat of the moment.
Earplugs use noise-filtering hearing protectors for noisy environments, thus avoiding compromising the quality of the sound by covering the ears with foam rubber. Buy musician's earplugs meant for concerts, festivals, or loud live music venues.
Knee-high leather boots, black nail polish, leather jackets Metal spiking, bullet belts, and pyramid stud piercing accessories like spikes at the collar, bracelets, or chains at the wallet. Avoid wearing any item that has sharp parts or anything that could be very dangerous if it comes into contact with other people especially if you are likely to fall on them during the slam dancing pit.
What Not to Wear
Do not wear any jewelry or piercing that is loose Avoid any accessories such as earrings, necklaces, chains, rings, and bracelets that hang or can come off easily as they can be easily pulled off and lost in the pits. Piercings in the face and on the surface area may get ripped off and must be taken out or covered using athletic tape. Leave valuables at home.
Avoid clothes made of cheap fabrics - Light fabrics such as satin, chiffon, and fine silky materials are likely to end up torn within the first few songs of a metal concert. Do not wear thin T-shirts and any sort of shirt that is likely to become transparent when wet.
Do not dress posh You will probably have to eat at the venue and your Louboutin shoes and Gucci outfit will probably get stained with food at a Pantera concert. Do not wear any formal clothing as the pieces, avoid wearing any designer wear, and also do not wear any clothes that you will not want to get destroyed.
Avoid open-toe footwear With the many activities and movements that come with the ardor, passion, and enthusiasm of fans, open-toed sandals, slippers, or shoes such as sandal-type shoes, slipper-type shoes, shoes for which the toes are not enclosed are likely to be lost or cause injuries to the feet.
No clothing that causes a hindrance or provokes mayhem This includes face paint, masks, or costumes designed as costumes that may cause sight impediments, or easily unravel and become choking hazards on the dance floor. The police may consider wearing these outfits as a mere act of planning to perpetrate a crime. Do not wear anything that might provoke a confrontation such as t-shirts with graphic designs.
No day packs and big bags This is because large backpacks and bags are cumbersome when moving in crowded areas. Concert venues may ban them for security and safety concerns as well. Instead, keep essentials in secured cargo pockets.
The Most Important Tip: Drink lots of water. Take a sealed bottle of water to avoid cases of dehydration in packed concerts that experience high temperatures. You can use it between sets frequently. The guideline for water intake is to try to consume at least eight ounces of water approximately every 20 minutes.
Going to see Pantera play an aggressive concert is much like preparing for sparring, heat, and other contact that may happen. Adhering to such clothing guidelines enables the die-hard heavy metal concert-goers to maintain their moshing from the warm-up bands to the curtain call.
