Niall Horan Concert

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Welcome back to our blog, it's Jade here. Today's blog post is an exciting one, I'm talking about all things Niall. On Thursday 15th March Lydia and I went to see him live in Manchester. We were super excited.

We were a bit worried because we have never stood at a concert before and after seeing Harry live we knew the crowd was reckless and many were collapsing due to crushing in the crowd. So, you could say we were a bit skeptical.

During the day we did a bit of shopping and many girls had camped out for 24 hours at the doors to get a good view. We ended up queuing from 6pm until the doors opening at 7pm. We got our merch and headed into the venue and decided to stick to the side because it was easier for us to get out if we got crushed or anything. We ended up being 10 rows from the front! We had such a good view it was so lucky.

The standing situation was quite crammed and a girl did collapse right behind us. However, nothing too bad for us to handle.

Niall was so good live and really engaged with the crowd. Plus he is so good on the guitar it is unreal. The support act was Julia Michaels, at first we did not know who she was but in fact we both knew 90% of her songs! Really good live.

I really enjoyed when Niall sang 'Slow Hands' because he came closer to the crowd and was dancing and singing, loved it so much!

It was also amazing when Niall sang 'Drag Me Down' because the whole crowd sang along and I nearly lost my voice.

My absolute favourite part of the whole concert was when Niall sang 'Flicker'. It is one of my favourite songs from the album so I enjoyed the song. Niall asked the crowd to put all their phones away and actually just sing to the song. I have nothing wrong with people filming and taking photos at a concert but don't film the whole concert. I was actually annoyed by how many people lived on their phones at the concert. I took a few photos which all are on this blog post and my friend asked for a sound from the concert. I sent a 20-second clip on snapchat to him. Other than that I just lived for the moment in the concert. The whole time during 'Flicker' everyone sung and it was beautiful. I really enjoyed it.

Thank You for taking the time to read the blog post and I hope you enjoyed reading it. I would definitely recommend anyone to go see Niall in concert, worth all your money.

Please Share The Pea Pod Love,

Thank You,

Jade Xx

How To Prepare For A Concert

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog,

Welcome back to our blog! We are super excited, in a few days we are both off to go see Niall Horan in Manchester! We are so excited especially having seen Harry Styles a few months back. If you have read our blog before you know we like to go to concerts!! So, because we have been to a few we thought we would do a guide on how to prepare yourself for a concert.

Our first tip would be to book the day off work or school. To us, this is crucial because we live out in the middle of nowhere, which means we have to travel to go to our concerts. We are approximately 3 hours away from Manchester so it is worthwhile we take the day off so we have enough time to get there. It also means we can do a bit of shopping and go out for a meal. We both like to make a day of it.

The next tip intertwined with the first tip, making sure you have your travel arrangements sorted out. This is key to plan a few weeks before especially if you are booking train tickets. Luckily, we are driving up to the venue so we do not have to plan too much. But we do need to leave in plenty of time to ensure traffic will not bog us down.

The next tip is a bit of a boring one but sensible in the fact is make sure you have enough money on you. This is to make sure you can afford to buy something to eat and drink and buy some merchandise at the venue! Obviously, the merch is the most important part, haha!

The next one is an obvious one but it has happened to Jade before, make sure you bring your tickets with you. Else you will definitely not be getting in the venue! Also, a pro tip, do not buy tickets from any other ticket store except the ones provided by the artist.

The final tip to prepare yourself for a concert is your outfit! This is essential, one does not simply chuck on any outfit! NO WAY! You need to consider.. will you be hot in the venue and suitable footwear. This is the first time we are standing at a concert so we will need to wear comfy shoes and consider if we want to wear a jacket or not. It will be super hot and crowded although we need a pocket to put our phones in.... decisions decisions.

That is it for our blog post this week! Hope you have enjoyed reading it and take on our tips for preparing yourself for a concert. Be sure to come back next week to see out Niall Horan Concert Review!
