11 concerts from movies we wish we could have attended

Ever watch a movie with a concert scene in it and want to be there so badly? Who cares about what the main characters are doing even, just give us more live music.
Even though these concerts didn’t happen in real life, we picked a few of our favorite fictional shows we wish we could have attended.

1. All Time Low (Fan Girl)

This movie was way too relatable. From the giant poster above Lu’s bed to the moment when she meets Alex Gaskarth in the coffee shop, this girl represents all of us in high school and perhaps even today. Nothing beats the All Time Low concert though when she’s pulled up onstage and basically lives out our dreams.

2. Fall Out Boy (Sex Drive)

Sex Drive features Fall Out Boy partying it up in a barn during a parody of the Amish tradition of rumspringa. As they’re playing, all these Amish kids are living out their wildest fantasies and acting as crazy as possible. Being able to see Fall Out Boy in a weird but upclose setting would make the drive to Amish Country worth it.

3. Sex Bob-Omb (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World)

We spend a lot of time wishing this band were real. Their battle of the bands show against the Katayanagi Twins was the show we all wanted to see. First of all, it’s a show where two bands are playing against each other at the same time, and you’re right in the middle of it. How kickass is that?

4. Cannibal Corpse (Ace Ventura)

This was the cameo concert that surprised us all. Seeing Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura rocking out onstage with Cannibal Corpse was absolutely amazing. It was the scene we never knew we needed. But more importantly, it was the concert we wish we were at. What would make our lives more complete than seeing Carrey rock onstage with a metal band?

5. School Of Rock (School Of Rock)

School of Rock was the school of our dreams. We all wanted a teacher like Dewey Finn, but more importantly, we wanted to attend battle of the bands. Sure, playing in it would have been cool, but seeing a bunch of little kids rocking out like no one’s business was the best part of that movie, and we wish we could have been there.

6. Josie And The Pussy Cats (Josie And The Pussycats)

From the cartoon series to the live-action movies, Josie And The Pussycats have been trendsetters for decades. With Riverdale, the band are back and just as iconic. However, nothing tops their performance in the 2001 adaption. We wanted to see them perform “3 Small Words” so bad.

7. Simple Plan (New York Minute)

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were pros at giving us unrealistic expectations for reality, such as dancing onstage with Simple Plan at a concert in New York City. Seriously, how cool was that? Even with all the running around and dodging people trying to get them, this was a pretty sick concert that we would have loved to go to.

8. Good Charlotte (Not Another Teen Movie)

In a reenactment of the classic dance scene from Grease, Good Charlotte come into Not Another Teen Movie as the band who shake things up. The formal dance is quickly turned on its head as the band play their rendition of “I Want Candy,” and the girls in the movie try to show each other up. But all we want to know is: Why didn’t Good Charlotte play at our prom?

9. The Offspring (Idle Hands)

Playing “I Wanna Be Sedated,” the Offspring actually rock the Halloween concert they’re playing. With the jack o’-lantern window background behind them, you’re immediately electrified with a spooky spirit. We wish our Halloween parties were as cool as this.

10. The Weird Sisters (Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire)

With the weirdest lyrics known to wizard-kind, we’re here for this band. The Weird Sisters perform at the Yule Ball for just a brief second in Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire. That second was all it took for us to fall in love, especially when the Weird Sisters included Jarvis Cocker and Phil Selway of Radiohead.

11. Lustra (EuroTrip)

Matt Damon has come a long way from his cameo in EuroTrip. The band performed “Scotty Doesn’t Know,” detailing the love affair that Damon’s character was having with Scott’s girlfriend all through high school. Even though this is pretty depressing for the main character, we can’t help wanting to see this in real life.
