Ahhh that's incredible - you go to all the best gigs!
Still pissed off I didn't see King Gizzard this week.

Is that the same songs I got excited about because I'd not seen them played before?A couple of songs I wasn't too fussed about were probably great for the die hard fans but were a tiny bit tedious for the more average person like me.

Went to my first concert yesterday! I went and saw Gorillaz on their "world" tour. I thought they were fantastic- great visuals, awesome performances, and quite a lively crowd! Although, they were a bit delayed, so I didn't get home until around 1 am(and having to get up at 7 the next morning). Concert was great, but would not recommend doing that to your sleep schedule.
Welcome to the world of gigs my dude. Gorillaz is a very very strong act to see live, you're gonna struggle seeing a show as good as theirs for a while
Saw them at boomtown myself. Hadn't gone out of my way to listen to any of their new stuff, but their general performance was simply superb. Needless to say I was absolutely blasted, taken and drunk a lot that day. Considering the majority of the festival was heavy drum and bass, it made a nice pause, and it was great hearing everyone singing along all the classics (the theory was 1/3 of the festival was at their show, and with boomtown being a 60000 person festival... absolute scenes!) and oh my god Im fairly sure I had an outer body experience with some of the visuals and general production.
I'll try find the video I got of the sheer size of the crowd, we were about 10/15 people back from the stage and I filmed their final song before the encore before panning around, showing just how many people were in attendance for their show
Got a few more events this year coming up, Prodigy at Ally Pally, Chase & Status Printworks show and Andy C all nighter at Wembley. Set to be a large way to clean up the year!
The Internet was the opening band, but they also had a bunch of other artists who were featured in some of their other songs(Peven Everett for Strobelite, De La Soul for Feel Good Inc, Bootie Brown for Dirty Harry, etc.).Who was the support?
Humanz is meh, but I 110% recommend The Now Now. Really solid album, if a bit shorter than some others. Don't think there's a single song on there I dislike.Hadn't gone out of my way to listen to any of their new stuff, but their general performance was simply superb.
Unfortunately, I would not recommend boomtown unless this is your sort of thing. As I said I was pretty blasted myself, wondering around wide eyed staring at pretty lights, listening to heavy basslines with a ****ing deliveroo jacket on.Thanks!
Would you recommend Boomtown? Festivals have become a bit of a meme-ified eye-roller for me here in the UK. Seems plastered with glittery face paint bent-knee selfies and ketamine addled teens just ready to cause me an aneurysm!
