LIVE IN CONCERT l Ed Sheeran

It feels like centuries ago since I sat in my phonetics class, stressing over buying tickets to this show. It was intense. An online queue formed instantly and it seemed that every single person in the world wanted to buy tickets for Ed Sheeran's concert in Copenhagen. I managed to get the tickets I needed and so did the people I had planned to go with. It was pure bliss. Then the show was moved from venue to another in order to make room for more people. Those tickets sold out in no time as well. It took under an hour in total to sell 9.000 tickets. And now it's been a week. A week since we lined for 8 hours, a week since I cried during "One", and a week since I saw the wonder that is Ed Sheeran. 

The show was more than I had hoped to dream of and the 8 hours in line was worth it all, despite me getting sick and trampled. He had two supporting acts that were both amazing and Ed himself was even better. He played so many songs, all of them fantastic and the next one better than the one before. His loop was amazing, his energy was amazing and his voice was amazing. I still can't believe how a single man can bring so much energy onto stage and create an emotional party for every single person at the show. But that is what he does. If you're a fan of Ed or just a fan of music in general I hope for your sake that you get to go to one of his shows. I really do think it's a special experience because he is the only singer that does what he does. Do yourself a favor and go to his show. And please, if you have the option then go see him at Wembley next year. I mean, that is going to be something alright. And then tell me all about it. I still hope I win some sort of lottery so I can go myself. That concert easily made its way into my Top 5 list of concerts I've been to.

LIVE IN CONCERT l The 1975

So, in June I went to the two One Direction shows in Copenhagen. That was intense and never in my life had I experienced teens go wild like I did at those shows. Until now. I had never expected that I'd get pushed around and squeezed so much in the line that I couldn't move. But that was what happened. Maybe it was because it was at a smaller venue and maybe the staff/security-dudes didn't see it coming. I know I didn't. We wanted to get up front so we lined up a couple of hours prior to the concert but already then we were behind in the game. Some of the girls had been there since early morning. Each to their own I guess. We did mange to get pretty close to the stage but even before the supporting act went on we retreated. We just had to face that we were no match to the vicious fans who were there as well. 

The show was great from the back too, and the sound was a bit better. Matty was his own charming self, with a wine bottle and open shirt and all. This time around they had their sax-guy with them (John I believe his name is) and he was pretty good, and the rest of the band was amazing as they seem to always be. Even though the show was great and all, I'm really happy that I got to see them before they blew up here in Denmark. There's just something about catching a band live before fame gets to them. Not that they were snotty or anything, but it's much more relaxed at smaller venues and you feel more like friend rather than idol and fan. 

They played at Store Vega which will forever be one of my favorite venues and it was great seeing them there. Seeing as they just have a single album and a couple of EPs out they played all my favorite songs which is a plus. On the other hand I really do looking forward to them releasing another album. Matty told us this would probably happen in 2016 (WHAT?!) but I guess really good music takes time, so I'm willing to wait. To my knowledge they still got quite a few shows left on their tour, so go watch them before we have to wait for another album and then a new tour. You will most definitely not regret it.

LIVE IN CONCERT l Passenger

Back in the day (during the summer that is) Passenger played a show in Tivoli here in Denmark. I went there with some friends and it was such a pleasant surprise! That Mike really is cool dude and just did the show in whatever way he wanted. When he played a sad, quiet song he told us to shut up, and during the rest of the show he would tell us to clap, jump, sing, you know the drill.

When we went to that show we knew he would play a concert later on as well. My friend decided that I had to go with her and bought me a ticket when I didn't answer my phone because it died during the show, and during the hour it took me to get home from the show, she'd already ordered the tickets. And for that I am thankful. His concert a couple of weeks ago was much like the one in summer. Sure, you had to buy a ticket for this one and the majority of the audience was happy couples that were obviously very much in love. I was there with my friends, but yeah, you know. He is a talker when on stage and the stories behind the songs were very touching and entertaining. I imagine it can be quite a challenge to captivate people when you're a single person on stage but he did it really well. His own songs are works of art and he is really good at covers as well. Sadly, Ed Sheeran wasn't there with him to sing their collaborated song (luckily, I'll see him very soon - but more on that show later on). If you like nice shows without too many crazy people and with a nice vibe you'll enjoy a Passenger show. The music is definitely in focus and you won't get trampled. But it won't be boring either. It's a really nice balance!
