The two of us had tickets to see them. The show was GA, and we didn't arrive until later but still got wicked seats. After seeing 5 Seconds of Summer GA I was wary of going to another show, but the venue for this show was 10x better and waiting in line was so much more organized, the whole event was less chaotic. Or maybe the fans were just more chilled out.
Doors opened to the Kool Haus at 7, but the one complaint I do have is that I feel that was WAY too early. The band doesn't come on stage until 9:45- and although there are two opening acts, many people inside are extremely obnoxious in that time. Me and my friend had a really awesome spot, definitely within the first ten rows, until two girls decided to shove through EVERYONE and felt the need to constantly push my friend up, leaving us separated the entire show. I mean, honestly; come early if you want a good spot and stop being the obnoxious twats and pushing through everyone who waited longer than you did. A lot of people were rude and pushy and the bands weren't even on stage yet.
The two opening acts were Sir Sly and the Bad Suns. I've only heard of the Bad Suns, because I'm totally in love with the song 'Cardiac Arrest'. Both bands were good, but there was a lot of wait time between both of them. You can check out their EP's on iTunes- I bought the Bad Suns & it's totally amazing.

Finally, around 9:45, the lights started dimming and we all knew that meant The 1975 was coming on. And all I have to say, is they were absolutely INCREDIBLE. One of the best shows I've ever been to by far. I was right in front of Adam, and Matty came over many times right in front of me; it was insanely amazing. Matty is adorable and they sounded sooo good live. Matty was awesome with the crowd. They're the type of band who just don't care; Matty was drinking wine straight from the bottle and smoked a joint on stage. Words cannot express how amazing the show was. All the fans calmed down after they came on and we were all just a giant group enjoying the music.They played pretty much the whole album, I believe. (There was an encore if you're wondering). The show lasted from around 9:45 - 11:15 (ish). Words cannot explain how amazing the whole experience was. I would see them again in a heartbeat.
After the show, me and my friend tried to get merch. There were shirts, sweaters, and signed cds. The prices were really reasonable- shirts $25, sweaters $50, signed cds $20. However, every single tshirt sold out, which was really disappointing because thats the one thing I wanted a ton. Even the larges/xls sold out- I watched the very last ones go. I ended up with a sweater, and my friend bought the cd. I was really disappointed in everything selling out because I would have thought at this point in the tour they would know how much stuff to buy. I would've boughten the shirt + cd if the shirts weren't gone.The opening band members all came out and you could meet them, but me and my friend just wanted to leave and they were pretty busy, plus my phone was totally full. I do regret not going to get pictures now though.
Overall, the concert was incredible and I DEFINITELY recommend seeing them if you get the opportunity.
Performance: ★★★★★
