Konono No.1 versus the Event People

Hey look, Konono No.1 are coming to Dublin and playing a free gig down in the docklands area. I have already mentioned these people: CONGOTRONICS

I suspect that this concert will be totally rammed with trend and event people. Cockfarmers. I have nevertheless entered the ticket raffle, even though this involves telling the organisers all kinds of things that are basically none of their business.

Aw man, I love Konono No.1

I'd try to make it to Dublin if there was a chance of getting a ticket, but otherwise, I'm seeing where else they're playing. cheers for the heads up

What in your view is the distinction between trend and event people?

ooh, that looks a bit late for them to turn up at glasto as well, but then you never can tell...

Andrew, my understanding is that trend people follow trends, while event people go to things they gather are important events, even if they have no actual interest in the matter at hand. Obviously, there is room for overlap.
