12 Days of Christmas: Day Three - 3 Great Gigs of 2015
1. McBusted at the O2 (April)
Now I know what you're all thinking, "they're cheesy/lame/too old to be doing the whole Busted thing now" but this gig was honestly really special. The fact that it was at the height of their reunion, you could feel how buzzing and happy they all were to be playing such a huge venue with a massive sea of fans showing their support and energy over 10 years since they formed. They went all out to make it a visually appealing show with animated videos, pyros and very questionable stage props like the inflatable boobs suspended from the ceiling. Seeing them join forces made the dreams of my 9 year old self come true and we also feature on their tour DVD breaking down a lil bit which will be pretty funny to look back on.
2. Tame Impala at End of The Road Festival (September)
This was the first time I had seen Tame Impala live and it made it's way up there with my most memorable gigs. As I explain in more detail in my End of The Road review, the whole show they put on was magnificent and the added atmosphere of being amongst a huge of crowd of people equally as immersed in the music made it so magical. A band that I would definitely recommend to see live, whether you're familiar with their music or not. They're touring again in the UK early next year and I'm happy to say I've got a ticket for their London show.
3. The Who at Hyde Park (June)
This was a gig that really got me excited as it's a band from an era I really love and they certainly didn't disappoint. Despite it obviously not being the original line up, just being able to witness Pete Townshend and Roger Daltry's chemistry in front of such an adoring crowd was something else. I left feeling inspired and in awe of a band that have been going for 50 years and still have the talent to put on a show in the way they did. The second gig I'd been to at Hyde Park in 2015, but I feel that the venue definitely has a huge role in making live music there so great.
