I love seeing bands and singers live...it's one of my favorite things to do.
I went to my very first concert when I was about 13 years old - I had been so desperate to see Take That live for what felt like forever, but my parents thought I was too young to go to a big arena show in Manchester with friends.
Instead they arranged for a friend of my Mums to take me, and they bought me the tickets - I was SO excited!
The show was amazing, I went wearing my Take That t shirt with Mark Owen written on my face in eyeliner! I even passed out with excitement during their rendition of "Relight my fire" ... oh how cool I was!
After that, I started going to concerts as often as I could....I went to see my firm favorite Ant & Dec at least 3 times, I saw all the 90s favourites....911, Peter Andre, S Club 7, Steps, Damage, MN8, Atomic Kitten, Sean Maguire, Boyzone and loads more!
In more recent years, I've seen some of my favorite artists - Barry Manilow (Yes I love him!), Britney Spears, and JLS are the most recent ones I've been to.
Here are some bands/singers that I'm making it my mission to see perform live in the next few years!
1. MadonnaYes I realize that she's more famed for her somewhat ridiculous onstage antics these days, but I have been a fan of hers since her 80s "Like A Virgin" days and she IS one of the biggest living legends around - it would be such an experience to see her perform live!
2. Tori AmosTori is one of my all time favorite artists, and to see her live would be a dream - her live performances are meant to be pretty spectacular - very understated and much more about her performance than about theatrics, but I enjoy those kinds of concerts probably more than big over the top spectacles.
3. Olly MursI absolutely love Olly Murs, I just can't help myself! I love him, and I love his music too - it's so much fun! I think seeing him live would be a great night out!
4. Kylie MinogueAgain, I have been a fan of Kylie since I was around 7 years old - I've followed her entire career since she was Charlene in Neighbours! And even when she went through her "weird" stages, I was always a fan of hers - I would love to see her in concert, I am sure she puts on one hell of a show!
5. The Big ReunionI've been watching the Big Reunion tv shows religiously, and love getting the chance to have a sneak peek behind the scenes at the lives of some of the bands I loved in the 90s - I would love to relive my youth a little by going to one of the live shows!
With tons of amazing acts lined up for the coming year, such as Taylor Swift and the status quo tour - the o2 is a venue I will be sure to keep an eye on as they house so many amazing shows!
