Never mind big gig FOMO, it's FOMI for me

Gigs make me want to exit stage left

I DON'T suffer from Fear of Missing Out - my condition is far more serious than that. I have Fear of Missing In.

You'll get enough people who have Fear of Missing Out to fill the biggest stadiums in the country, and they regularly do.

Their ailment - often undiagnosed though the symptoms are there for all to see — begins with a mention of Bon Jovi, or Robbie Williams, or Garth Brooks.

These icons of the past insert themselves in our present, often adding: “I love Ireland - Irish audiences are the best.”

And thus otherwise semi-normal people scramble over each other to secure an hour or two in their presence - 15 hours if you count Bruce Springsteen.
