For the first 35 years of my life, I lived in Lebanon, where big international bands and artists rarely hold any concerts. We’d get one or two big names a year, and it was easy to know who was coming and when because it would be all over the radio, billboards, and WhatsApp groups.

Moving to Paris, however, opened up a whole other world of live music for me. What was a once- or twice-yearly activity became a monthly — weekly if you have the budget for it! — possibility.
