The Daily PollPoll: Would you go to a mobile phone-free gig?
Bob Dylan played Dublin’s 3Arena last night, with attendees required to lock their phones in special pouches for the night.
MUSICAL LEGEND BOB Dylan played Dublin’s 3Arena last night, but the gig had a catch: it was a phone-free zone.
Concert goers had to put their phone in a lockable pouch which they kept on their person throughout the night.
According to the event promoters, “this makes for a better show for everyone involved. Our eyes open a bit wider and our senses are slightly more heightened when we lose the technology crutch we’ve become accustomed to.
“And yes, it’s a non-negotiable deal.”
Attendees can use their phone for emergencies by moving to the “phone use area” in the venue.
So, we want to know: Would you go to a mobile phone-free gig?
