Hi since I still have a little bit of a following here's an attempt to reach the right people for this: together we have a total of 3 tickets, 2 seated and one floor ticket for Louis Tomlinson in Amsterdam on April 20th to be given away FOR FREE:
2x seated, section 106 (great view), thanks to @lighthouselou, you can dm them for the tickets!
1x floor, thanks to @ialwaysknewyouwerepunk, and for that ticket you can message me :)
Louis and Co. walked past me on Glasto after the set of The Libertines.
Michael was ahead, hand up so everyone could see him and follow. Then Oli and Zack, then Louis and z with a bodyguard next to Louis, then Lottie and Lewis.
They went straight to the backstage area. Tried calling him, but probably not loud enough.
One bodyguard heard me and acknowledged me. I asked if I could take a picture with him and the bodyguard just said: "yeah no, he's a bit meh. Sorry." 😂😂😂 I said it's totally fine and he was super nice about that, smiled and said "thanks". They went through the gate fast.
He didn't hold her hand. He walked ahead and she like tried to hold onto his finger. He immediately took his hand away, when they where at the barrier to the backstage area and lighted a cig.
as promised, i went down the path of becoming rectangle-eyed and have googled pictures of every single award One Direction, Louis and Harry have ever received during their careers and studied all of them to try and match all the awards to the ones in the pictures we got today -- and sweet gay jesus, the awards we see in the photo are only like 10% of everything they've won.
Still: even after 6 hours of research, 3 of the awards plus the surfboard furthest back remain kind of a mystery to me, so if you know which award they are, please drop me a message and I will add the info in a reblog! 🙏🏼 (more info below)

Let's zoom in:
DONE!
TL;DR: there are (just like in 2021) at least 2 of Harry's awards in this shelf - the 2 Brit Awards! 😌 husbands are still being husbandy.
Also given their history with bears🧸, I love that they have one right there 🏳️🌈

❗️If you have any idea what that award marked with "???" and the glass one next to it is (what I put there I am not super sure about), please let me know and I will add this in a reblog! And also if I have made a mistake somewhere. About the NRJ Award, I also am only like 50% sure about. If any of you have a better fit, please let me know.
I know the matte gold award with the 1 kinda reminds one of BBC Radio 1, but the BBC Radio 1's Teen Awards look very colourful, like so:
and they have never looked any different, as far as I researched.
Re: the surfboards - honestly, I also thought maybe they are not awards, but for some reason he stores regular surfboards in that corner. We know he likes to surf.
But it would make so little sense if they are not the Teen Choice Awards. One of them is clearly wrapped. And I think the middle one might also be thinly wrapped and is perhaps the 2016 one with the palm leaves. But the one in the back I really can't match to any of the surfboards won.
Just to give you all the details - here is an overview of all the Teen Choice Award surfboards One Direction, Louis, and Harry have won:
2012: (including 2 pictures with the entire boards, front and back)
2013:
2014:
2015:
2016 (One Direction weren't there to pick it up and there was no video message with them holding it / Harry won 1 solo, as well):
2017 (Louis won, but I wasn't able to find a picture of him holding the board. Harry won 3 as well, but he didn't attend):
2018 (Harry won 2 as well, but he didn't attend):
2019 (showing both sides of the board):
on a final note, here is a pic of Louis' 2016 Brit Award, which is missing from the collection on the shelf - you know, just in case it'll pop up ~somewhere else in the future 😌 (maybe with the rest of Harry's Brits 🤭)

I mentioned this earlier also but there’s another row of Nick KCAs behind them which is visible through the mirror. There are 6 in the photo, though it’s possible that there’s 8 in there if each shelf has 4 of them (since they have a lot of them anyway 😂). Question is who owns which and where they were from.
holy shit, you are all amazing, so fast and so helpful, wow!!ヽ(^◇^*)/
you have elven eyes, @fookinhellcurlyy for spying those additional Kids' Choice Awards in the mirror! 👁👄👁 thank you, darling!!
thank you so much @anchorandrope for the info on Louis' chart award!! Oh, with his arm in the sling 🥺 - and no wonder I didn't find it - it's not listed in Louis' awards section on Wikipedia :( and a huge thank you to @daisiesonafield-blog for adding the info that Louis got that Official Charts award in 2022 for Faith In The Future hitting number 1!
I also got a message from the wonderful @breebers informing me the thing on the far left on the shelf is an award/honor he got for selling out the O2 in London in 2023. Thank you so much!!
Additionally, @beenholdingonforever kindly shared the info that the Berlin Buddy bear was a gift from Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin when Louis played a show there on Oct 20, 2023. Thank you so much!!
we have a beauuuutiful live album. and we have videos and photos to go back to from the last three years... but-
having him on a little screen being streamed by a fellow fan across the world, live in real time, while he sings, and walks, and points, and smiles, and talks, and jumps right on our faces and tells us how much he loves us...
that's a different kind of void, man.
and i'll miss it all terribly until i have it again.
do i happen to have any chilean followers who could answer some fairly straight forward and simple chilean spanish questions for me? lmao it's been a VERY long time since i've had any spanish lessons and my chilean slang is even more rusty than my miniscule spanish is, and i want to be sure to get a few silly and probably easily overlooked things right if i can. thank youuuuu
hello, i need help in manifesting sunshine and no rain for louis' show in santiago. i know once he sets foot in the country it'll be sunny, but we need all the help we can get, okay? ☀
here's the forecast the past three days. keeping track is my way of manifesting, and it's working but today next friday is forecasted to be cloudy. :c
look how sunny thursday is gonna be now? ☀
drop all the sunshine you can and help in manifesting good weather (although cold) for this show!
louis in panamá! louis back in latam!!! louis is back in his spirit home!!!
the crowd was amaaaazing! listen, every louis show i've been to holds a special place in my heart for different reasons. but being in a crowd where everyone around you gives out the same energy, even when they don't fully know some songs, is something i've been craving for a long time now, and it's just the beginning and i'm sooo excited. the venue itself was kinda meh inside, the way they used the space was terrible in my opinion but as a brightside, gaby and i had lots of space to jump and dance and lose our entire minds.
the setlist order change threw us off, but god i love it. the 'chemical' cover... idk how to explain it but the videos i've seen so far (which haven't been many, i'm on wifi most of the time) don't do it one bit of justice. his voice! his voooooooice! that's all i kept saying throughout the song. because i didn't know the song, and the arrangement was so punk that i thought it was a song from an early 2000s pop punk band that i wasn't recognizing. but duuuude, his voice. i hope we get a good version, because that boi whined away with his whole chest... honestly. and i can't fucking wait to see how more and more comfortable he'll get with the song and more people singing it with him, and just... yeah!
oli, krystle and helen were in the open space where there were no chairs, right in front of us... oli walks to not draw attention to himself, but boi, most of us know you by now. i didn't see anybody coming up to them which was nice. they went to the sound booth for a big chunk of the show. and during ooms krys and helen came back to jump and dance to the side there. i loved seeing them like that!
the happiness we felt when we saw lucia coming down! gaby and i were jumping up and down screaming "lucia! lucia is back! lucia!", hajshajshs. and theeeen, at the end, as i always do if possible, we went to the soundbooth to thank my friends (jdelf, tom and oli c.) for the show, and we thanked them for bringing lucia (the lightbulb) and not leaving her behind, and they were amused (and probably a bit weirded out (they've seen me in the same shirt at least 4 times lmao)) and saying thank you for appreciating them and just yeah. i like to think maybe they already knew her name was lucia, but also, i'm glad someone on the ground straight up told them how fucking appreciated she is. 💚 look at herrrr! (lol)
living all my favorite songs live again was so cathartic. didn't know how much i needed it, wow. also, how are we gonna call that insane set of songs before the encore? my vote is for "rip steve's arms" or "no breathing mix" or "lose your shit time". because going from 505 to bty to kmm to ooms is fucking wild, man. it was absolutely incredible, i think i ascended a little bit and was fully exorcised, thanks.
oh! the kmm lights? soooo good! i know they've been done at all the shows after '22 but like... idk. it felt a bit extra special? and he sensed it as well, he couldn't contain his little smiles. and he gave it a shout out. literally everyone knew they had to do it. so cool!
as a sad note, during sibwawc, the lights from the stage weren't really colourful, they just kinda went from orange to white from what i remember. gaby and i waved our flags for the entirety of the megamix (and a bunch of other songs too, hajshajs, duh) and since we were going off the whole time, and not as many people were, he did see us all the way to the back and pointed at where we were and we looked at each other and just kept going. we then corroborated our stories in the hostal, hajdhaj. enjoy the following video as if you were next to us and just jumping around, okay thanks (when you see everyone else jump around that's when he comes to our side).
anyway, i wrote all of this while on the airplane that's gonna take me to puerto rico, which is a bit delayed. oh, and el puma rodríguez is on this flight, lmao. iykyk. some ladies, while boarding, just stood in front of him and took a selfie, eeep. right, here's some carpet photos.
i'm so lucky i get to do this insane adventure, i'm so happy.
