Studies have come back proving live music is good for your health.



The study, commissioned by the O2 has come back with some stats that we can get about.



Attending fortnightly gigs could extend your life expectancy by 9 years and live music is better for you than yoga!

The study conducted by behavioural science lecturer, Patrick Fagan completed the study along with the world’s most popular music venue, O2, Fagan said;

“Our research showcases the profound impact gigs have on feelings of health, happiness and wellbeing – with fortnightly or regular attendance being the key. Combining all of our findings with O2’s research, we arrive at a prescription of a gig a fortnight which could pave the way for almost a decade more years of life.”
