Good evening lovelies!
As I'm lying here in bed with a cup of tea I thought it would be the right time to blog about the past weekend. Well, what did I do? I went to a concert, wow that was hard to guess, wasn't it?
Anyway that concert was in Luxembourg. I've never been to Luxembourg before, but we really wanted to see Imagine Dragons live and the gig in Cologne, which was the closest for us, was already sold out and it was on the weekday. The gig in Luxembourg was on a Saturday so it was perfect.
On Friday Inga and Janina slept over at mine and we drove to Luxembourg on Saturday morning. After some complications with our car we finally got there around 11.30 am. Quite early I know, but we really wanted to be in the front row and the gig was sold out. The concert hall was massive, 6500 people fitted in there. We waited there and spend some time in the shopping center next to the venue until the doors opened around 7 pm. The first opening act was called The Moth And The Flame, but they weren't really my type of music so I can't say that much about them. The second opening act was Dan Croll and his band and they were fantastic! I had listened to their music before, so I kind of knew what to expect. Dan has a great voice and their music is really good. I recommend you to check them out, they're pretty fit lads, too! ;)
Around 9.15 pm, I guess, Imagine Dragons were on. I don't even have words for their show, it was out of this world! I've been to quite a lot concerts already, as you know, but this was actually the best concert I ever went to. The whole crowd knew the lyrics by heart and sang along to every song. The whole band, but especially Dan Reynolds, the singer, was completely overwhelmed. He got really emotional during the show and because the crowd was so amazing they covered two songs instead of one, as they normally do. One of those two cover songs was Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana which made me more than happy because I absolutely love Nirvana's music. When the crowd voted by the loudness of the screaming which songs they should cover I was screaming Nirvana so loud and much that I practically coughed myself to death after that, haha. Here's the video, I'm gonna upload more videos during the next few days. (for some reason it won't blend in the video so here's the link.) It was insane, there were people from France, Spain, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium and apparently Canada and The United States!
After the gig we went to the merch stand where Dan Croll and his Keyboarder Jacob were and we chatted to them for a bit and took photos. They're two really nice guys and I can't wait to see them hopefully again next year!
Then we went to the back entry where some fans told us that Imagine Dragons would come out around midnight or something and we went to our car to get my camera, because we had some time left until they would came out and wanted our photos to be in a good quality, too. On the way back to the back entrance we stopped by Dan Croll again and chatted for some more and took a few more photos. To his displeasure we took a 'funny' one or at least attempted to do one, haha. (Don't look at my face, I looked horrific that day)
After that we went to the back entry again and waited there for some more with some other german fans. First Daniel and Ben came out and I let them sign my ticket, I don't even know when Daniel went into the bus but probably when I took a photo with Ben, so I didn't get a photo with him. When Ben signed my ticket and wanted to give me my Edding back I accidentally let it fall to the ground, the clumsy person that I am. I shouted out 'Shit!' quite loud, ooops. I think it was Daniel, or Ben, I'm not sure who it was, who picked it up and gave it to me. They basically made fun of me every time I lend them my Edding, from then on, but who cares haha. Next one to come out was Dan and he signed my ticket, but I didn't get a photo with him. Inga actually go one and I'm really happy for her, since Dan and the whole of Imagine Dragons mean a lot to her. Last one to come out was Wayne, since he apparently needed his time, haha. He's actually my favourite, he's the cutest guy ever haha.
After that we basically said bye and went to our car. We drove to the hotel and tried to get our heads around what had just happened. This insane concert that we experienced and all that stuff. We didn't sleep much, also mainly because the hotel bed was freaking uncomfortable. Around 12 am we checked out of the hotel and guess what? We stepped out of the hotel in our sweat pants and without any make up on and The Moth And The Flame were standing by their van in front of our hotel. So apparently they stayed there, too, haha.
I hope you all had a great weekend, too! Have a lovely week.
