We got there at seven and ended up at the back of the queue but it moved really fast so we were inside in no time! I was really surprised at how small the venue seemed but it must have been bigger than I'd thought because of all the people that were there! I'd say there was about 2000, maybe a little less. Anyway, we decided to buy some merchandise before the gig started. It was a good decision as the queue at the end was huge! We all bought wristbands and me, Ella and Emily bought flashing wands that we were waving all night! (Not a euphemism...)
The support acts came on just as we'd finished buying our stuff, I think the first was DJ Tuskah and the second was Unicorn Kid. I'm not really a fan of that type of music (really loud floor-shaking beats) but I didn't mind it. A lot of people were dancing but my dancing is sort of an awkward sway so I just stood there attempting not to spill my (overpriced) drink! The support acts were on for about 45 minutes, by the end of which everyone was practically deaf! There was a gap of about half an hour in between TMB and the support acts and the people next to us were getting a bit annoyed of waiting. Everyone cheered whenever a random person walked on stage! After about five impatient chants of 'TMB,TMB,TMB', the lights finally dimmed and they were on! Apparently I screamed really loudly when I first saw Dru...
The first song they played was 'I Kicked a Shark in the Face' which I was expecting- the tour is called 'I Kicked a Tour in the Face. The atmosphere was brilliant already and they had a person dressed up as a shark dancing around on stage which I loved! After this they sang some of their new songs that I haven't really heard as much, but I still enjoyed them. The first older song that they played was 'Friends For Never' which is definitely one of my all-time favourites! Everyone was singing along and waving their wands, it was amazing! They played a few more newer songs and then 'Lez Be Friends' which is another of my favourites! Ella and I swear that Ash looked at us at one point (in our general direction anyway!) His arms are literally the most beautiful arms ever. Swoon.
It didn't seem to have been a long time until they said it was their last song, but of course they came back on stage for an encore- the best bit of the show in my opinion! When the Harry Potter music from their song 'Wands' started to play everyone went crazy! By this time my wand-waving arm was aching like crazy as I'd been jumping up and down like a nutter all night but I pushed through! After Wands they sung their first song, a parody of 'Tik Tok' by Kesha. Shouting 'SHUT UP MUM, I'M ON MSN!' along with everyone else was hilarious! I think their last song was 'Booty Call' which is one of their best ones, everyone (including me) was singing their heart out with their croaky voices, the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic.
Here's a picture that Stefan took from the stage of the audience:
We were somewhere to the left near the blue pole! We had a good view despite being towards the back. Anyway, the concert finished at about 10.15 and we realised just how deaf, aching and croaky we really were! It was so worth it though, one of the best nights of my life!
Plus, unusually, I was the least tired out of all of us the next day!
