All Time Low

On September 25th I went to Newcastle, the O2 academy. All Time Low are an American band so the tickets sold fast when they were released in Britain. The band only played in Newcastle and London in the UK so the academy was full and the atmosphere bouncing. Setting of at 5, heading for a packed venue and busy roads, we arrived at 6:30. After an agonising wait, the long, snaking queue started to filter into the now seemingly small building. We rushed to the merchandise counter to try and get the in-demand items, such as hoodies and t-shirts. After getting a t-shirt- following the tradition- the first support band started straight away, striking the audience with the immediate ‘concert loudness’. The crowd illustrated their enthusiasm and excitement on the first support band, and it lasted until All Time Low finished, the crowd immediately created the atmosphere that joins people together. When All Time Low finally begun, with one of there famous songs, ‘Lost in Stereo’, the audience cheered with renewed vigour. Following, were the songs named ‘Poppin Champagne’, ‘Let it Roll’, ‘Weightless’, ‘Dear Maria’ and ‘Stella’. One of the most memorable song in my opinion was ‘Remembering Sunday’, where instead of using the sound improving equipment, the main singer simple stood with a guitar and a microphone, mostly using the audience as his voice. The atmosphere during this song was astounding, my view blocked by a wall of waving arms. The finale of the concert dawned, so soon, and the band finished with renowned ‘Dear Maria Count Me In’ the audience and band continued to bounce, sing and cheer as loud as ever. Still excited and thrilled, we limped back to the car on our tired- worn from jumping feet. Sleepy and content in the back of the car, driving down the dark, seemingly desolate roads so quiet compared to the music barely an hour ago.
