I saw my Teen Idle.

Sunday 22nd May 2022:

I did it besties, after what felt like an eternity of waiting. I SAW MARINA DIAMANDIS LIVE. It was such an experience omg.

So I booked these tickets as soon as they were being sold and it felt like an eternity of waiting but then the day arrived. I left my house at 15:00 to get a train at 15:48. Then an hour and 20 minutes on that train, to then take the tube from King’s Cross to Brixton. Then it was just a 5-10 minute walk from there.

Not gonna lie, the queuing wasn’t very well organised, but that’s just cause the woman said “queue around the building” and we were actually queuing on the wrong side, so sorry for your unclear instructions babes. Anyway, once we’re queuing the correct way, me and my sister meet these two girls, both Welsh. Might be remembering their names wrong but I’m pretty sure they were Elle and Kate. Kate didn’t know how she was going to get home and Elle, not gonna lie, I can’t remember much about her but her outfit was pink, she had bubble pigtails and those stick on gems in pink around her eyes. Both of them were lovely girls.

Anyways so we get in and I was like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG, I buy a tour tee, me and my sister pee and then take our places. The opening act, Maeve came on and her set was amazing but i think they fucked up on the sound check cause I couldn’t hear her singing because the instrumental was too bassy and I could literally feel my internal organs jumping about. Then we had like half an hour of waiting for Tove Styrke to come on. Again, set was fabulous. Then it was just waiting for the queen herself.

Then the time came. SHE APPEARED AND I DIED. Her outfit? STUNNING. Her Hair? STUNNING. HER AS A PERFORMER, FUCKING AMAZING OMGGGGG.

I fried my vocal chords by shouting the entire time through the concert but I don’t regret it. It was amazing. I loved her so much, I can’t wait for her next tour because I will adore it and go and yup.

Then the sad time came, the ride home. I got home at 1 am and my sister at 2 am. I felt guilty but she said she wanted to take me and enjoyed me having fun so fingers crossed that’s true. If not then...I still won by going. Unfortunately I had to go to school the next day but I don’t regret it one bit, wouldn’t change it for the world.

Enjoy 2 photos!
