Hello Everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today i have a concert review/experience for you guys, so i went to the One Direction On The Road Again tour at the 02 Arena on their opening night and it was absolutely incredible. They are an amazing live band & despite the amount of shows they've played and how many people they have played to during their career, they still put in 110% everytime. Their choice of setlist was so good, they included a whole mix from all 4 of their albums and the #1 hits as well, they obvs throwed in What Makes You Beautiful as well... STANDARD!







We didn't catch the support act as we got there a bit later but it was a guy called Jamie Lawson & he has a really good song out at the moment called 'Wasn't Expecting That' so go and check it out, he's brilliant. 


We got into the arena about 8:15 and One Direction came on at about 8:45ish and they finished at about 10:50pm. It finished slightly later than they were planning because there was a delay due to technical difficulties during Night Changes with their in ears. They started with No Control which i love and then they went onto an oldie but goodie "Kiss You". Their energy on stage was brilliant as always, considering how tired they must be from touring the whole world this year, they still performed to their best and beyond! The highlight of the whole gig was definitely Harry's dancing, he was so funny. I can't describe it exactly until you've seen it in person but lets just say he looked drunk hahaha! He was throwing his water on people in the crowd (as always) as well. They then performed Girl Almighty (Liam's Fave) which is one of my favourites off of their FOUR album, it's a proper feel good tune and got everyone up and dancing. They then did Midnight Memories, which was SO good live, Harry literally killed me during Midnight Memories his dancing and vocals were unreal.












The atmosphere was so so good as always, full of screaming girls!It was so much better being at the 02 with 20,000 people rather than last tour at Wembley Stadium with 80,000 people, it was more intimate (compared to a stadium) and felt better. They then did Better Than Words (from the Midnight Memories album) and Story Of My Life, i love love love Story Of My Life, the lyrics are so beautiful. Followed by Stockholm Syndrome from the FOUR album (latest from the guys) and Ready To Run also from FOUR, Niall's and Harry's vocals really stood out in Stockholm Syndrome they sounded amazing. Ready To Run is also one of my faves from FOUR. 






They then followed with an emotional speech about how incredible it is that due to their fan base, they have travelled to literally everywhere possible in the world but UK will always be their home and where they feel at home & they then sung Don't Forget Where You Belong which they co-wrote with Mcfly. The lyrics are so beautiful and relatable to them because their away from the UK for such a long period of time but they feel at home when they're here in the UK because it's where it all started! Niall's speech was so cute at this point.

They then went onto perform Night Changes but had technical difficulties with their in ears, they couldn't hear what they were singing in their ears and it was muffled, which prevented them from carrying on with the song. They started again but the same problem occured haha, i felt really sorry for them but they carried on although they were still laughing about it, they were embarrassed and annoyed as well! They tried again and it still didn't work so in the end, Niall started doing Infinity (their brand new single) acoustic in which that point everyone died as it wasn't meant to be on the set list! They then did an acoustic version of Night Changes and then managed to get the audio in and perform it, they still sounded beautiful despite the problems!







It was so weird without Zayn, because everytime i had previously seen them Zayn had been there but they still performed incredible as always. Their last collection of songs included some of my faves of all albums including Little Things, Best Song Ever, Little Black Dress, Where Do Broken Hearts Go & Diana. They then did their encore where they performed Act My Age (the lyrics to this song are so funny i love it), What Makes You Beautiful & then to finish on their new song; Drag Me Down.
