I am five days late of posting from the concert day but I had a major post-concert depression the next day of the event so everything is still pretty clear to me. I only had three hours of sleep the day after but I literally cannot stop talking to anyone about the concert even if they don’t care and until now I still song some of the songs performed in the concert. Help me.
I had a lot of firsts attending this concert. I’ve been going to concerts alone but this time I went together with my two blockmates and it was a lot more fun than I expected! Also, I can definitely say I have attended the most sulit concert so far because the music festival lasted for 7 hours! 7 hours, WHAT! And we were late because I didn’t want to cut class lol but everything was worth it! And finally it’s my first time to see the bands that performed which I am so so so so so happy about because I love all of their music!
My class ended at 5:30PM and we missed Twin Pines and Elle King which was unfortunate because I at least wanted to see all the performers in the list but kids, don’t cut class. No one was performing by the time we arrived at around 10 minutes before 7PM.
Third Eye Blind started to perform and I’m not particularly fond of the band so I searched their music a few days before the concert and I actually really liked their new song! And even though they performed some songs that I weren’t familiar with, I found their music really good and easy to listen to.
Panic! at the Disco performed after Third Eye Blind and can I just say that Brendon Urie has reaaaallllyy good vocals? I am super duper impressed with his vocal range! I was surprised that they performed their old songs (My blockmate mentioned to me one time that Brendon already doesn’t want to perform this certain old song but he still performed it last Thursday ha). I’ve known of the band since I was in elementary when I saw their music video of That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed) and I still like their music up until today.
Their performance of Bohemian Rhapsody is just TOO. GOOD. I cannot. That is just the simplest adjective I can come up with. (I just cropped the photo from the LED screen forgive me for the ad quality haha)
Next was James Bay’s performance WHICH WAS SO CHILL AAAAHHHH (but not really chill because, you get me!!). I love his voice so much and he changes his guitar every time he changes songs?? He actually looks really good in real life and I could really see how talented he is.
By the time it’s almost already 11:30PM, the band that I’ve been waiting for has finally gone up the stage to perform!! Of course, it’s The 1975! They are actually the reason why I really pushed to go to the concert because I really love them?? No other words to describe it but I appreciate their music so much, their albums have been my jam since last year. And it’s super duper sulit because they performed A LOT of songs from both their recent and first album!! Matty was being a real badass at this one song where he smoked a cigarette while singing and I guess that’s just what he really does during their concerts.
Ok I just, I really loved their performances AND NOT TO MENTION THEIR CONCERT STAGE. It was a huge mark off my bucketlist to see The 1975 and their stage. Because it’s pure aesthetic. Actually I can’t tell what my favorite performance is because I ABSOLUTELY loved each and every song! :( I can’t pick so I won’t haha.
I was really looking forward to their performance of If I Believe You which certainly did not disappoint! AND WHEN THEY PERFORMED ROBBERS. OMG. Ma hart. Ma sole. fallingforyou was an emotional performance because Matty was so into it, he knelt down and someone said he cried? I’m not sure though since I was too far from the stage. In total they performed 16 songs!! WHICH IS SUPER SULIT NA DIBA
I want to tell you so much more but I guess I would just be writing in scary capital letters and exlamation points so I’m just going to leave you with a messy playlist of some of the songs played in the concert. If you guys also went to the concert let’s talk about it some time!! And for those who didn’t, I hope you at least get the feel of the concert through the playlist :) I actually have some videos of P!ATD, James Bay, and The 1975’s performances but I don’t think I can share it since most of them are just filled with my singing LOL.
I’ll still be updating it, but click here to listen to the playlist!
