Concert journal for setlists, ticket stubs and the shows you never forget

Concert journal pages give every gig you go to a lasting record: the songs played, who opened, the people you went with and that one moment the whole room sang. This undated set holds 40 pages, including 18 show logs with space for a ticket stub and a photo, an index for 52 concerts, festival planning and recap sheets, stub collages, an artist wish list, a venue log, songs to remember and stats for the year.

It comes as an instant PDF download in US Letter and A4. You print it at home, and nothing is mailed.

How a concert journal keeps every show alive

Memories of a great night fade faster than we expect. On each log page you jot down up to 20 songs and the encore, the support act, where you stood or sat, what the ticket cost and any merch you picked up. Tape the stub into its box, add a photo or a quick sketch, then give stars to the performance, the sound, the crowd and the venue while the best moment is still ringing in your ears.

Over time the index turns single nights into a real archive of your live music life, listed on one page. The yearly stats page tallies shows, artists, venues and spending, and the festival sheets help you map out sets and clashes, pack, set a budget and look back on everything you caught.

Who this live music journal is for

• Gig goers who want to hold on to each setlist, support act and highlight
• Festival fans who enjoy planning the weekend and keeping a record of every set
• Anyone whose ticket stubs and wristbands are piling up in a drawer
• Friends and couples who share concerts and want to share the memories too
• Fans still working through a long list of artists to see live

Design and print details

• Clean and elegant: white pages with soft blush pink accents that go easy on ink
• Roomy margins, so a home printer will not trim anything
• Portrait pages in two sizes, US Letter (8.5 by 11 in) and A4 (210 by 297 mm)
• No dates, so you can begin at any point and print more log pages whenever a new show comes along
• Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it
