The Future of Gig Tripping is Here: A note from Kyle Lamont

To my loyal listeners: Concert CAST is evolving. We have officially joined VEMORii - a platform dedicated to gig tripping - to better serve the concert-going community and the culture we love.

Alongside our signature immersive Concert CAST episodes, we are introducing Concert CHAT: a video talk show that reviews the venue and the performance immediately after the encore, recorded from a car parked outside the venue. You can watch the full experience on YouTube or listen to the audio versions right here in your podcast feed.

We are also opening up beta testing for our new agentic concertgoing app. This is the world’s first intelligent trip planner designed specifically for fans who go the distance. Thank you for going on this journey with me—the best is yet to come.

I matched with the frontman of a band I used to sing my heart out to, one of our most prolific songwriters. A brief romance unfolded, then ended without a single word. Here’s what I learned about the duality of musicians and the heartbreak of mistaking his lyrics for the person I thought he was.

**********************************************************************************

Ghosting isn’t new, but being ghosted by one of our generation’s most well-known songwriters, the frontman of a band I used to sing my heart out to, is.

I’m Kyle Lamont, a live music journalist and critic and after weeks of thoughtful messages and a couple of dates with a man known for his lyrical courage, I believed that if it ended, it would at least end with some words. It didn’t.

I was wrecked. Baffled. And most of all, disappointed by the fact that I had lost sight of something so fundamental: the person and the performer are not the same.

Worse, his music, a formative part of my life, now haunts me. Torch songs I loved are now hollow, a reminder of what once was and what could have been.

I’ve spent years traveling to music venues across the country, documenting stories from venue owners, bands, and fans to show the interconnectedness of travel and live music. This heartbreaking experience has shown me how love and loss are part of concert culture too.

"Ghosted by a Rockstar. Haunted by His Music" blends personal essay and music criticism, offering a window into my work as a relentlessly curious and passionate concert journalist.

Live music is empathetic. So is my storytelling. Thank you for being here. Thank you for hearing me.
