ARTICLE BY ERIC SKELTON
A new study conducted by O2 and behavioural science expert Patrick Fagan of Goldsmith University, has found a link between regular concert attendance and a longer life expectancy.
“...we arrive at a prescription of a gig a fortnight which could pave the way for almost a decade more years of life."
A press release for the study even goes so far as to say that attending concerts once every two weeks could increase life expectancy by nine years. The research is centered around a link between overall reports of well-being and longer lives, based on psychometric and heart-rate tests at a range of well-being activities.
