My second ever concert
On the 28th of April I went to my second ever concert, by the same band from my first ever concert: 5 Seconds of Summer.
In short, it was a lot of fun! :)
The concert was in Milan, between 3.30 to 4.30 hours of driving from my home, depending on traffic. And then back on the same day.
Something silly I rediscovered along the road: in the Lombardia region when you order a cappuccino, they ask you which size you want it (small, medium or large). I think the medium size is roughly the same as the only size they serve you in Veneto, where I live.
I arrived at the concert venue that the gates had already been opened. Much better than in the previous concert, where I arrived as early as possible because I did not know how it all worked.
Before the concert, the guest band South Arcade played. I liked how the lead singer moved on stage but the music not that much. All in all, the concert was very fun. I knew all the songs apart from the solo parts, which I've got stuck in my head now and have been listening to throughout the day.
I have to admit that at the start of the concert I was a little unsure of what to do with myself, it felt like I was just standing there listening to them sing... but by the end I was singing and jumping with the others.
The girl sitting next to me gifted me and the people around us a bracelet she made for the occasion. I was grateful, I hope she enjoyed the concert.
Here's some snippets. The solo performance by the lead singer:
And the song Easier, which was the one that made me discover the band back in 2021:
Lastly, I'be realized that the mentality I had when I attended that first concert was not the same as the one I had this time, which probably made me enjoy things a lot more. Back then, I was in a state of mind were I did not want to "care" about others' thoughts and I'd started the resolution of using my phone less to "enjoy the moment" which just translated in getting annoyed at others' behavior. All very silly now looking back. This time, I also "did not care" but that influenced and included my actions only. Also, I forget things easily as time goes by and having some videos to go back to and relive the moment is just nice.
When the band returns here again, I want to get nicer tickets and enjoy the show from closer up.
