Damn, I've seen many non-metal concerts. I can't remember all of them, but the ones that come to mind are Depeche Mode, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Keb Mo, Spandau Ballet, Burnin' Red Ivanhoe, Valravn, Hedningarne, Tabula Rasa, Strawberry Blonde, Status Quo, �stkyst Hustlers, Jyder M� Attityder, and the techno-pop band Infernal (I almost hit the entire band with my car after their gig was over, as they walked straight into my path to get to their tour bus).

I actually haven't been to many non-metal shows myself. Here are some I recall right now.

2001 (all in the same festival, my first ever concert):

Blink 182

Newfound Glory

Sum 41

Good Charlotte

Jimmy Eat World

Simple Plan

Project Wyze

2007:

Beastie Boys

Chromeo (openers)

2011:

Return To Forever IV

There must be one or 2 I'm not remembering because that seems too short. Embarrassed

Add another one to my list. I will go see Allan Holdsworth with Jimmy Haslip and Virgil Donati in a few weeks in their Toronto-area performance.
