One month.

So as you may or may not have noticed, I love going to concerts. I attend as many as possible, with both really big names and small, local bands in where I have a few friends.
But as I'm now living 4-5 hours away from Copenhagen, the capital of my country, it's hard for me to attend concerts, seeing as I have to pay around £40-£50 every time I want to go to a concert - and that's just for the train ticket. Top that prize with the ticket for the concert and food and probably a few beers, and even more than a few, if I go out with friends after the show.

So I haven't been at a concert since August, which is really sad. I've already missed two concerts I wanted to go to and it annoys me. But the next concert I'm going to will be in exactly one month. I'm going to see Pierce The Veil as they support Bring Me The Horizon on their ongoing UK/Europe tour in Malmö, Sweden on the 4th of December. For some odd reason they're not coming to Denmark on this tour. 

But I absolutely can't wait, even though PTV are just the support band. It will be the third time I see them in less than a year and I've only been a fan for a year at the time. I think that's pretty well done seeing as they're from the States and they have never played a concert in Denmark. That's what I call dedication. Especially because I've never travelled to another country just to see a concert or two before I did so back in May.

Sorry for the weird "filler" blog post, but I just figured I had to get it out somewhere and I wanted to share my excitement. It'll seriously be so amazing to see them again!


Rumour has it that they will be playing this one - it's one of my favourites!

21.06.13: 30 Seconds To Mars.

Friday after work I went directly to Tivoli (after bying some facepaint) to join Laura, Selma, Emma and Cille. They had been sitting at Plænen (a big area with grass) since noon, because they wanted good spots. For what? Well, for the 30 Seconds To Mars gig!

Whilst waiting, we just talked, had fun, drank some beers and took some shots. Some woman, who was rather drunk, kept giving us drinks, so we didn't have to pay for ourselves, which was great. But she was a bit annoying.

The band didn't go on stage until 10pm, so we had to wait for a long time. It started to rain a bit twice, once right after I arrived and once right before the gig started. Luckily Laura and my other friend Ditte had umbrellas, so I didn't become too wet.

The gig itself was seriously amazing. I had heard so much about how incredible 30STM shows were, how the energy was extremely amazing, how the contact between the band and the crowd was more than bands usually talk to the crowd. And all of it was true. Jared spent a lot of time talking to the crowd about a lot of different things, he made jokes and made us yell "Love Lust Faith Dreams" in Danish a couple of times. He also had this giant Danish flag that he kept waving. That was one of the few moments where I felt proud to be a Dane!

Since I forgot my camera and my phone died hours before the gig started, I have no pictures whatsoever. But luckily my friend Mia Malene let me "steal" some pictures from her blog - with credit, of course! So, here you go, take a look at MM's lovely pictues from one of the best nights of my life!

Last picture is taken by Laura, when it was raining right before the gig started.
