Wow! What can I say? Wednesday the 9th of October was such an amazing expereince and one that I will never forget, I actually saw Mcfly live!
Back in February Mcfly announced that they would be celebrating there 21st birthday with a special concert at the o2 arena and I needed to go, I had never seen them live but had followed them since pretty much day one. The first day sold out but they added an extra date and I took the opportunity to get tickets.
Fast forward to last Wedneday when the day actually came, we drove up, leaving at around 4.30pm as had to drop Olivia off at my Dads for the night. We arrived at the o2 carpark at at around 6.15pm after getting food on the way. We prebooked parking for £27 which garantueed us a place, parking was simple and is only a 5 minute walk from the o2 itself.
The whole experince of the o2 was so quick and easy, we went straight through to the o2 and security without a hitch, we were on the 4th floor so took the escelators up. On the 4th floor we went to the merch stall which had just a 10 mintue queue, after we got our merch we got drinks, we used the ordering system and Liam collected whilst me and Lils changed into our t-shirts. a pint of pepsi was £4.95 and came in a reusable cup.
We went into the arena and all of us were truely taken aback as to how big it actaully is, our seats were pretty high, there was only around 10 rows to the very top but the view was still good even though they were little. At around 7pm we got our first act who was Billy Lockett, a contestant on The Voice UK this year, at his blind audition Tom and Danny from Mcfly turned for him and gave him the opportunity to perform at the o2. The next act wer'nt for us sadly but were only on for a short time before the set up for Mcfly started.
8.15 hit and the YMCA started to play which lots of funny pics of Mcfly from over the years, which gave us a giggle, it then changed to singing there names and eventually they came onto stage! It was so surreal and is only really sinking in now. They started off there set with 5 colours in her hair, there very first hit. They went from song to song with ease and almost every one had everyone on there feet (even in our seats at the top). They spoke to the crouds a few times with some call outs and audience participation.
just over half way through the stage darkened and Danny's voice was ringing out singing It's all coming back to me, the song that he had sung during the masked singer. We couldn't really see a lot apart from the clips on stage from the show itself, then Danny appeared on a small square stage below us singing at the top of his lungs. It was honestly incredible, he went straight into the next song, Red, which was sung using a mic hanging from above that was lit up red. Slowly the rest of the band joined and sung a couple of songs.
Dougie then decided to be a bit cheeky and diss Busted using some cheesy jokes, they started a new song and then the some 'Year 3000' starting playing and Busted appeared on the main stage, they had a tiff between stages and then announced a tour for next year, Busted vs Mcfly, which is one that we are going to try and get tickets too. Soon after Busted left and Mcfly headed back to the main stage to finish there set.
The second to last song was my favourte 'All about you' which I did shed a tear too, some many emotions were going through me that night. We left around half way through the lasy song, the heart never lies, Lils was so tired and we wanted to miss the crouds. All in all Mcfly sang 33 songs and went through to 11pm exactly. What a show!
I was honestly the most incredible night and one for the memory book.
