I've transferred this over from my other blog!
SLFL Manchester, 22nd April, Night 1!
We got to the arena at around 6pm, firstly I bought my merch, I decided on the jersy world tour top, the white tour t-shirt and the pink wristband. Then we went to the guestlist box office, where we were told to wait for Florence who would check us in and take us through to the m&g. At around 6:35pm, Florence turned up and gave us all a wristband and told us to go through the side entrance to the arena and wait in there. Around half of us went into the lift and when trying to fit all of us in the security said that the lift will break if were not careful as it breaks a lot. When at the bottom, we waited for the rest of the group to come down. We then walked through the floor section of the arena to the opposite side where we were told the rules and got into a line.
We then waited for about 20 minutes before being taken through to the corridor where the room was that we would meet them in. I think we were the 5th pair to meet them. Once I got to the door I could see Calum and Luke having their photo taken with the fans before me. I then gave my mum my bag, and told her to watch them for me. I then walked into the room and Michael said 'Hello, how are you?' and I said 'hello' to them all. I then stood in between Luke & Michael (in the middle) and I heard Luke sing something and then he said 'ahh, that was in falsetto'. We then posed for the photo, once it had been taken Michael said 'Thank you so much' to me as I walked back to my mum. My mum then dropped our bags and ran over to them for a picture with them! We then were ushered out of the room & back into the arena.
We then went to our seats (Block 212, row B seats 11 & 12).
When we got to our seats Jessarae (the first opening act) was on his last song of the night. Then a few minutes after Don Broco (the second opening act) came on stage & performed their songs. About 30 minutes after Don Broco it was time for 5SOS. 5SOS were amazing as always even though Luke & Michael weren't feeling too good & their voices were a little off, they still put 100% into their performance. The #NBSRainbowProject went really well & there was lots of people with signs & having put so much effort into the project along with others, it was so nice to see it work so well.
SLFL Manchester, 23rd April, Night 2!
Night two was the night of sound check & being 5th row (Block C, row E, seats 11 & 12). We got to the arena at around 3:30pm & there was already a long queue of fans waiting for the soundcheck. We went through to the concourse where we checked in, got our wristband & lanyard, we then waited in the queue till around 4:20pm, when we all started to get let into the arena. I think I was sat 8th row in block B (middle block) for soundcheck & I had a really good view. They came out & sang catch fire, then came and sat at the end of the runway. They answered a few questions about who would be the 5th member, writing with James Bourne, when they last cried and also what song tattoo they would get along with a few others.
They then sang wrapped around your finger & went off stage. We then were taken back onto the concourse whilst the support acts did their private soundcheck. We were let back into the arena at 6pm, the first support act came on stage at around 7:15pm, then after their performance it was the second support act. 5SOS came on stage at around 8:40pm. It was such a good show! They performed a cover of wonderwall instead of making up a song about Manchester & they nailed it! It was such a good show & it wasn't the exact same as the night before, which was nice because it makes each show individual and more exciting.
I've had such a good couple of days seeing the boys live twice, they were so good live! I would highly recommend seeing 5SOS live if you ever get the opportunity as it's such a good show & the atmosphere is amazing!
Love, Becky x
