Coldplay, A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS WORLD TOUR (opener: alessia cara and bishop briggs), lower bowl front row

COLDPLAY (opener: alessia cara and bishop briggs)

A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS WORLD TOUR

(SLC, UTAH on 8/31/2016)


SUCH A GOOD CONCERT! I've always wanted to see them and they finally came to concert in Salt Lake again after 8 years!




UPGRADE SEAT TIP: Coldplay buys the first three rows at every concert! They crew will go to the upper bowl and look for the biggest fans and bring them down to the front three rows for the concert! Bring signs because Coldplay loves songs! Wear their tour shirts or bright colors!

Alessia Cara opened and was really good! She has such a good voice and was really interactive with the crowd and explained her songs which was cool! Bishop briggs was good live too!

Check out this video of her singing WILD THINGS:



They shot tons of confetti shaped as stars and birds! Fire and fireworks were shot off! Giant balloon balls where dropped from the ceiling onto the crowd! (watch to see the balloon balls drop during adventure of a lifetime song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtO0xLsjz2E)


They danced all over the stage and came out of the cat walk to a second stage! Then at the end there was a surprise.... a third stage! and it was in the crowd!!! So cool! Everyone was freaking out! They announced that they have been together for 20 years! So crazy!!  I went with my friends and my two brothers went as well!

TIP:  A little trick to get last minute tickets for a good price! The venue will almost always RELEASE MORE tickets the day of the event! You just need to go to their selling site and check! For example, smithstix.com sold these tickets and they rereleased more tickets that morning and throughout the entire day! That is how my brother and his wife got their tickets... and it was for the exact price and not from a reseller for way more!

Ok but now that I have seen so many concerts I didn't think that it was the best like everyone says... Don't get me wrong... It was a really good concert! They could have fixed the order and maybe interacted more or explained the songs to us. Still way fun though! Loved the tiesto remixed song!

Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas, HONDA CIVIC TOUR (opener: mike posner) VIP M&G

I GOT TO MEET DEMI LOVATO! 

DEMI LOVATO, NICK JONAS (opener: mike posner)

HONDA CIVIC TOUR 

(SLC, UTAH on 8/11/2016)


The best part is.... I won a meet and greet and concert tickets for FREE because of Andrea!!

M&G:
Mix 105.1 is now my favorite radio station along with Andrea as the best concert person to go with! Demi was so nice! We got to see backstage and watch Mike Posner do a sound check and we met all of the crew! Way fun! She put on a #castontour event after the meet and greet with Jonathan Tucker (an actor) who gave a motivational speech about his journey throughout his acting career over the past few years.

#CASTONTOUR:
It is cool that Demi does this event before every show! It isn't well known... but if you show up 1.5 hours early and you can get a ticket from someone handing out fliers outside of the box office! THESE ARE TOTALLY FREE and Demi and Nick almost always are there sitting in the small room for the event!




THE CONCERT:
I hadn't really listened to Demi's or Nick's album completely before, but ended up really liking all of their songs that they played! They both have really great voices! There was a cool rounded screen that filled the entire background of the stage!



I even ended up buying a few of their songs after the concert! This isn't a sold out tour, and tickets are inexpensive, so EVERYONE should take the chance to go!!
