Matthew and Tijan Brown, who live in Kensington, are now—according to the Guinness Book of World Records—officially the couple who has attended the most concerts in one year. The Browns went to 135 shows in 2023, all of them local.
The Browns saw a veritable Who’s Who of the music industry—everyone from Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks to up-and-comers such as the Italian rock band Måneskin, who won the Eurovision contest in 2021. To optimize their numbers, they started the year by attending symphonies, as many acts don’t tour in the winter, Tijan said. “So we had a little bit of culture.”
Along the way, they befriended staff at the venues; as part of Guinness’s rules, record-seekers must have a signed “witness statement” from a venue manager to confirm they actually attended the concert. Their favorites? Queen with Adam Lambert, Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band, Pitbull, and Sam Smith. Their least favorite? They didn’t have one. “Even the ones where the sound crew didn’t quite have the sound dialed in correctly,” Matthew said. “We still just really enjoyed being there.”
