One direction concert

Ok so on the 29th of September I went to the One Direction Take Me Home Tour concert at the Perth Arena. It was incredible. We were seated in block 006 which was on the floor. We were in the back row and right next to the second stage. We got a wave from Harry and Louis which absolutely made my night, and apart from the intense screaming of 50000 teenage girls it was amazing. 

We booked the tickets back in April last year. So its been about a 16 month wait for them to actually come to Perth, and after going through a phase of being ridiculously obsessed with them,  my loved for them kinda died down quite a bit. However that didnt stop me from going to the concert. 

Our night began when my friends Emma and Bec and Bec's sister Bindi came over to mine beforehand. We did our make up and took some photos and then Emma drove us all the train station where we took the train to the city. In the city we met with more friends Anna and Laura and went off to get dinner. We walked around the city trying to find somewhere that wasn't packed full of the crazed fans which was actually very hard. We ended in a little bar round the corner from the arena called The Local Shack which were very good considering there were heaps of fans inside all ordering pretty much the same thing over and over. After dinner we walked down to the Arena which was absolutely mental outside. There must have been thousands of fans trying to pack into this tiny little sheltered area before getting inside the arena to get of the rain. We were then told we couldn't take our water bottles in, but because we didnt want to buy water due to the high costs we decided to put our water bottles, wait for it, inside my playsuit with my denim jacket over the top so I looked like a T-rex walking around to sneak our bottles inside, and it worked. 

Bec and Bindi then went to find their seats which were in the block to right of ours and we could see them very well. We had  such a good time dancing to the music that was playing before the concert started and to 5 Seconds of Summer the support band from Sydney who did absolutely incredible. About 30 minutes later One Direction came on stage, starting with the song Up All Night from their debut album. I couldn't hear them singing at first because of how loud the screaming was. 

The boys are so entertaining and made it an incredible night. They aren't like regular boybands with their choreographed dance routines and preferred to just be their mad selves. However poor Louis had lost his voice and couldnt sing all of his lines. 

My favourites performances had to be all the songs from the Up All Night album especially One Thing, More Than This & Moments and their Sophomore Album songs Change My Mind and Last First Kiss. Niall during Change My Mind, instead of singing "so baby if you say you want me to stay" he sang "so baby if you say you want me to drive to KFC" which was really funny. Once they arrived on the second stage that is when we got our waves. First from Louis who made eye contact with me and another girl who was next to me and next Harry, I was leaning out over my chair waving at him and shouting his name and he smiled and waved back. 

I know there is a lot of them but these were my favourite performances, More Than This, One Thing, Moments, Change My Mind, Last First Kiss, Little Things and What Makes You Beautiful. 

So the concert all in all was amazing I'm so glad I went. Thank you to the boys for making the show so absolutely incredibly enjoyable I had the most wonderful time. Thanks to Zayn for hitting his amazing high notes, thank you to Liam for being his perfect self, thank you to Harry for waving at us, thank you to Louis for coming out and performing despite being poorly and thank you to my sexy irish mofo Niall for being his beautiful and crazy self.
