Maryland, Feb 23:
A Maryland couple showed their enthusiasm for live music when they broke a Guinness World Record by
attending 135 concerts in a single year.
Tijan and Matthew Brown of Kensington told Guinness World Records they were at their 20th concert of
2023 when they started to wonder whether they might be on the road to a world record.
“As we were soaking in the music, energy, and the joy of being in the audience again, a thought struck
us,” Matthew Brown told Guinness World Records. “Could this be a world record? The idea was
exhilarating!”
The Browns spent a total $18,407.24 on concert tickets over the course of the year, an average of $68.17
per ticket.
“Money comes and goes, but the joy, excitement, and connection we’ve felt at these concerts will stay
with us for a lifetime,” Matthew said. “These experiences have enriched our lives in ways that money
can’t measure, so in our view, every penny spent was well worth it!”
The concerts attended by the duo during their record attempt included Beyonce, Lizzo, Pitbull, Sam
Smith, Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks.
