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!!

Twenty One Pilots, EMOTIONAL ROADSHOW TOUR (opener: mutemath and chef'special), upper bowl tickets


Twenty One Pilots (opener: mutemath and chef'special)

EMOTIONAL ROADSHOW TOUR 

(SLC, UTAH on 7/16/2016)


I honestly went to this show thinking that it would be decent because it would be just two guys playing instruments and singing and some songs seem like screamo at times haha 

BUT

It ended up being AMAZING!!!! One of the best and it was really fun! They know how to get involved with the crowd! 

and when I say involved ..... I mean it!!! They literally put wood planks on the GA and played drums above them as the crowd held them up! They got in giant blow up balls and ran over the crowd and back on stage! They had a second stage and the back and the entire GA literally ran to the other stage when they switched! A really fun and entertaining concert and I ended up loving more of their songs after going to it! 

DEFINITELY a MUST see show!!! My brother and I went with my friends and their girls! super fun! 


I still can't believe how good it was and how many people loved it! Everyone I speak with was amazed by the whole concert!

The openers were a little funny haha mutemath was literally destroying the stage and their drums, and table where the mixing and piano was! Super entertaining to watch haha! 

Enjoy the videos and subscribe to my channel so you can see all the concerts I attend!

Ellie Goulding, DELIRIUM WORLD TOUR (opener: bebe rexha and the broods), lower bowl side stage

ELLIE GOULDING (opener: bebe rexha and the broods)

DELIRIUM WORLD TOUR

(SLC, UTAH on 4/13/2016)


Ellie Goulding was so GOOD! She performed in Salt Lake at the Maverick Center. I was surprised that she didn't sell out even though  she has soo many followers and a lot of popular songs! She had a cool stage that came out in the center a bit and a cool screen in the back! 

Her opener, the broods were really good! I have seen them before and met them about a year ago...so that was fun seeing them again! I went to this concert with my mom, and two younger brothers! It's an entire family event if you want to sit on the side or great for friends if you go GA on the floor!

ENJOY THE VIDEOS!!!

I NEED YOUR LOVE

SOMETHING IN THE WAY YOU MOVE


BEBE REXHA---NO BROKEN HEARTS

OK! BEBE REXHA was a huge surprise! I didn't know who she was until she started to sing! She has written and helped many artists to write sooooo many popular and top 100 songs! AMAZING ARTIST AND great live!!



OUTSIDE

I'd say that she is a must see in a live concert! If she comes to your area take advantage of the inexpensive tickets and really fun music and enjoy her concert!!!!

Justin Bieber, PURPOSE World Tour Concert (opener: post malone and moxie raia), VIP front row lower bowl

Justin Bieber (opener: post malone and moxie raia)

Purpose World Tour 

(SLC, UTAH on 4/2/2016)


Almost my entire family and I saw Justin Bieber in Salt Lake City at the Vivint Smart Home arena!



Of course, we had VIP tickets! Definitely worth it because we got to cut the lines, and got a cool merchandise bag filled with a hat, a souvenir ticket on a lanyard, a bag, etc!


Ok you're probably wondering how we got VIP tickets when the concert sold out in seconds?? Well, before the concert tickets went on sale we signed up for the email list and followed him on all social media pages! Then we waited to hear how to gain access to the presale! Once we got the access code we waited until the day of the presale and logged in 30 minutes before the sale...because sometimes they have a queue that you wait in according to who was their first. Then we waited and got good tickets!



He of course was good! I've never seen so many girls go crazy over one person (besides maybe the Taylor Swift concert...just as LOUD) He had a fun stage and danced in a light box! At the end he and his dancers danced in a giant small pool of water and kicked it all over the crowd! Definitely way funny...but he sang SORRY the whole time so it's was ok haha



Definitely worth the price (since we bought extra and sold them which basically paid for our tickets haha)


Such a FUN concert and really entertaining! Everyone should take the time to see this show before he ends the tour!  Go with your family or your friends!
