AIBU wow London last night

I went to State Fayre Friday for Kings Of Leon. Was fab! Local though so easy journey. Last weekend I saw Harry Styles and was so impressed with how Wembley manage the crowds so that the station isn’t crowded

I was at TT on Friday. It was an incredible atmosphere, even when we were all piling out - “I’ve had the time of my life” was playing and it felt as though the whole stadium was singing along as the walked towards the tube.

everyone was in great humour, the security staff were brilliant and the whole organisation was top notch.

the show was incredible, as fabulous as the previous Circus tour.

was at Les Mis at Royal Albert Hall the previous week and it was fab to see the Les Mis, Harry and Lola Young crowds all mingle yet dressed so identifiably for the show they were going to.

OP, you’re not wrong, London is an amazing city and I’m so lucky to live close by and have the ability to see some of these shows.

Anything at a football stadium has a really small window where the football is done and the pitch has time to recover before the next season starts.

Anything else outdoors needs to be between May and September for adequate weather.
It's not a large number of days to do everything that London wants to host.

I went to London two weekends in a row recently. Saw my favourite band Sparks live at Chelsea on 12 June, then headed back to Scotland on the 13th to see Sparks at Kelvingrove Bandstand on the 14th, then back to London on the 19th for Gorillaz at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 20th with Sparks as support, All absolutely brilliant,! Lucky to have family in London to stay with! London was very busy, saw lots of Harry Styles fans on the tube both weekends.
.

prices for hotels are ridiculous, it’s the same next weekend with Gay Pride, Hyde Park Concerts, Wimbledon, the Proms and Harry Styles.. I wish they would space events out more so not everything js crammed in to the same 2-3 week period every year.

Oh I went to Take That last night too! Was bloody brilliant but my gosh it was warm wasn’t it. I couldn’t get over how busy all the shops and restaurants were too.

Going to Harry Styles with my daughter next weekend too and then got a little gap before Ariana in August.

I really love live music and particularly love a massive stadium show with lights, dancers, fireworks etc. (oh and an elephant if you’re Take That!)

About 3500 - so not loads, but all lovely people 😁

I was at the State Fayre festival at Chelmsford, coming back to SW London and ran into people returning from these events. Very mixed crowd! And grateful for the extra late trains that seemed to be put on, despite the heatwave cancellations earlier in the week.

My sisters were at Take That on Friday night and Garth Brooks yesterday .. We do lots of concerts between us and my sister was less than impressed with the London Stadium . I was less than impressed with all the videos I got sent on both nights 🤣

We went to a gig at Tottenham last year, left from Liverpool street and they had to hold us back from the tube/train for a while. Someone who I assumed was a local asked her friend what the hold up was for and she mentioned the gig.

What all this for a concert was her reply. I was surprised she was surprised at the amount of people as surely they have this fir the footie ?

I was at TT last night and saw Harry last week. Also saw Boyzone this month. Amazing city I love living so close and working there. We’re bet lucky to have this on our doorstep

❤️ london!
The culture and the transport logistics to get everyone around is what makes it one of the best places on earth!

Yes, all of those and thousands of England fans out watching the Panama match.

Harry and Shania. My DD was there, she said they were equally as good. She and her friends, are the younger country and western fans, who are growing in numbers. They are going to see Luke Combs in August, so the cowboy hats will still be aplenty.
We were down in March for the theatre, I love London.

I was at the National theatre yesterday and the southbank was bubbling with activity. Love love love it

Harry was fabulous.

And I was at the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo last night watching The Cardigans, doing their only UK show - they were amazing! Another London event last night!

And the Proms start in a couple of weeks - audience of 3000 for 86 nights running!

“Small mortgage”

Are you talking about a small mortgage monthly payment?! 😆

and you must be “astounded” by SO much In our @THisbackwithavengeance

Harry wasn't a small mortgage. Our two tickets were only £140.
To be honest once you've seen the staff and security at Wembly it feels worth it. Toilets are clean, stewards are on the ball and really helpful. Police all around the area.

I’m astounded that anyone would pay the equivalent of a small mortgage to see Harry Styles let alone 90,000 of them but that’s me.

Hope you all had a good time if you went. Agree that no place does entertainment quite like London and London in the summer is awesome.

Amazing variety of concerts to choose from

I ❤️London

Obviously biased as I live here!

And then you dig a little deeper and turns out they haven’t visited London for decades OR they’ve been once in their life - to Leicester Square OR they’ve never been outside the home town in wales and just read the DM
