I wouldn’t be a professional fangirl without accumulating a lot of tickets. That’s why I ordered a special album on Amazon to organize my ticket collection and it was worth every penny.

Now I’ve officially seen every performer on my must-see list! Watching Pink on award shows convinced me she would be amazing and her Beautiful Trauma World Tour was even better than I imagined.
Between the costumes, acrobatics, dancing and special effects, it was a magical show and she performed for 2 hours! Not only did Pink wear red pants, but she also performed right in front of me and flew over my head, so we almost made eye contact.
Are you sure the guys from lovelytheband aren’t Canadian? They seem so humble, laidback and appreciative of their fans. They could blend in with Canadian artists for sure. I hear they like poutine.
Vocalist Mitchy Collins just broke his arm and he led a major show last night like it was no big deal. Sure, he drank some vodka to ease the pain, but nobody cared. In fact, the crowd chanted for him to chug it. “Pain is like heartbreak, you’ve got to drink your way through it,” he said.
Lovelytheband seemed to enjoy performing in Toronto as much as their fans loved watching them. “It’s Thursday night, but you’re giving us Friday night energy.” Mitchy said the band spent the afternoon on a racetrack, but playing music was even more exciting. When he congratulated the Raptors on winning the championship, he announced, “I was rooting for you since day one!”
5 years ago, I went to see Barenaked Ladies perform in London and I commented that it wasn’t as good as the concert I remembered in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre.
Walking into Massey Hall last night, I wondered if my claim that it’s better to see them in Toronto would be true and Saturday’s show proved that I was right. I loved everything about it, except for the encore because they played 2 covers I didn’t enjoy.
The last time Coldplay came to Toronto, I said I felt like I was in paradise. I don’t want to exaggerate, but the band came close to recreating that experience this week at the Rogers Centre.
First of all, it really comes down to where you sit. The Rogers Centre is huge, so it’s worth the extra investment in really good seats. This time I sat in the 200 level on the side of the stage and it was great. If it’s a pop concert with lots of detailed set design and costumes, it would be even more important.
My first Coldplay concert was also special because I had never seen an artist use lit up wristbands to connect the audience. Their team deserves a lot of credit for pioneering this. This time, they took their lighting to the next level by syncing their show with the CN Tower’s lighting system! That was truly magical and unique.
