The 1975 - 21st February 2014

Yesterday after weeks and weeks of counting down, the day of the 1975 gig in Dublin finally arrived. I'm not going to lie, it was probably the longest day of my life. I got up at 5:40am to get ready and had to leave for Makayla's house by 8:00am. We got the train to Dublin and headed straight to the Olympia. We ran into a girl we met last time we were in Dublin and her friend and ended up spending the day with them queuing from 11:ooam in the cold, rain and wind.

At about 2pm a car drove towards the stage door and it was The 1975 arriving. Matty had told fans he's come out to us later. We stood there and listened to soundcheck and eventually we saw Matty upstairs looking out at us. He opened the door and was recording us and said he's sorry but they're really busy and he'll be out after the show.
So it was back to queuing for a few more hours. 



We went to get tea about an hour before the doors were to open but about 20 minutes later we got a call from the girls we were with saying the doors were opening. We ran as fast as we could back to the Olympia and got there just in time and thank god we got the very front and centre of the stage.





The support act "Wolf Alice" were on first and they were so good! They're a band from London and I didn't get any video's or pictures of them but they have their songs up on youtube for anyone interested.

Eventually, the lights went out and The 1975 came onstage. It was absolutely amazing, we were so close to them. They played most of their songs and it was incredible. Their best live performances in my opinion would be "Sex", "Settle Down" and "Menswear". After listening and watching the band religiously I was still in shock that they were in front of me. I will definitely be going to see them again next time they're here! 


I didn't get home till around 1am and after the day I had and the 4 hours sleep I got the previous night I was wrecked.

I should be uploading the youtube videos soon if anybody is interested.
