okay i think long enough has passed that i can safely add a few more to this post with the concerts i’ve been to since, so here’s my updated list of performed songs that i came away loving more than ever:
7. catfish and the bottlemen
as i mentioned in the tags on my og post, i did end up seeing them shortly after. honestly their whole set blew me away and and it was actually magical. still not super into how they’ve been moving lately but just seeing them satisfied my inner 14 year old. rango takes the crown for me on this day.
i love this band. i’ve only ever seen them as support acts twice but each time they deliver. i do hope to see them as a headliner with their full set one day, but i’ll let them rest for now lol. i can’t say there’s one specific song i love now more than the rest after seeing them because i love all their songs equally, but they brought a lot of energy out for your house that i really loved.
i actually saw these guys at a festival and they quickly became one of my favourite bands of all time. at the time i’d been listening a lot but only for a couple weeks prior to seeing them (yes i was very late to the hype, lol) so i didn’t get to fully appreciate them at their peak before they inevitably start cutting cub songs (sigh). saying that, i was never a big midas fan to begin with, but i came away with a love for silver that i’d never had before.
honestly top 10 experiences of my life. not only did i get paid for bartending both heaton park dates, but i got to see their full performance in the crowd and it was genuinely magical. i’ve always 100% been a masterplan enjoyer since i was a kid, but my streams of rock and roll star skyrocketed straight after that weekend.
yes! can you tell where my newfound obsession came from? i’ve been watching his videos since prime george memeulous days, will n jim watch, 3boys, all that good stuff. never gave his music a chance until now. and BOY has this guy evolved since i first heard slow down. don’t tell the dog is a MASTERPIECE of a pop album, and i absolutely adore him and his work. particularly enjoyed don’t blame me on the day, as i’d never really thought of it much as one of his big singles until the crowd really hammered the chorus home. peak lyricism.
i am only really a tourist history merchant, i hate to admit, but i could absolutely not pass up on the opportunity to see them with the incredible lineup of supports they had at crystal palace. cigarettes in the theatre was a crowd favourite, and to hear it live with so much energy from everyone around me was biblical. the amount of times i heard “this was on fifa” (and also said it myself) probably rivals the amount of times i was hit by the inflatable floating around at the front.
i’m going to leave it at that for now, there are a few more mainstream artists that i’ve seen that i haven’t included, because i thought i’d stick to the running theme of my blog with the uk indie rock/pop scene. (though if you’d like to see those please let me know lol)
as ever i would love to hear your takes on this little post, or if you have any experiences of your own that you’d like to share please tag me 🫶
