Ages ago I bought the boyf two tickets to see the Kings of Leon for his birthday. Obviously I insisted one of those tickets was for me, haha. It felt like the event was never going to arrive! I'm not sure who was more excited, me or him!
Anyway last Monday we caught the train to Manchester. We checked into our hotel, did a little shopping in the Northern Quarter, for those who don't know that's the vintage/indie area, a LOT of eating, responsible drinking and then a night at the Manchester Arena. The Kings of Leon were AMAZING! I actually forgot how many awesome songs they have. I prefer their earlier stuff before they became insanely famous. There's something special about loving a band before EVERYBODY and their mother's heard of them.

I could only get seated tickets this time round but I can honestly say I was NOT disappointed! Even though we were right the other end of the arena we still had a good view and everyone sitting around us was really nice and friendly, etc. Which reminds me, how 's this for a random moment? We were actually seated next to a couple who were in the queue in front of us at Burger King, four hours earlier! What are the chances of that!? I love it when things like that happen!
Have you been to any gigs lately? Who's your favourite band? Do random things happen to you?! Tell me! I wanna know!
P.S I'm now on Instagram if you want to follow me

Awww sounds like you had a great time! I love Manchester, I haven't been in so long but this post has given me a craving to visit and have a late brunch in the northern quarter
ReplyDeleteI am a new advocate of sitting down at gigs. Maybe it's just because I'm getting old, achey and lazy?!

You have just described my perfect weekend. Me and the mr have been having live music withdrawal especially after watching another Glasto on the telly. We must get our social life back on track but it's tricky with 3 nippers.
ReplyDeletePS I once saw Fleetwood Mac in a big arena and was seated (which was probably good as I was 7 months preggers) but it didn't detract from an awesome gig!! xx
not on gigs lately:( but would love to go, Im sure Kings of Leon had to be fun!
