First Concert

Actually, the first time I went to a concert was Lollapalooza, which was technically a festival. One of my favourite bands had come a couple of years ago too, but I said to myself that I wouldn’t pay all that money to just see one band. I remember thinking, that if Florence and the Machine ever came and also Of Monsters and Men, then I would go. I put it in complete idealization, thinkig it would never happen.

As the years passed, I didn’t really got to know new music, and my favourite groups stayed the same. Then in 2016, the same year I moved to Santiago to study, both of them were coming. I knew I wouldn’t have the same opportunity twice. I asked my mom for half the ticket and payed the rest with money I had saved from a school event I had worked for.

I remember lots of Friends being there too, but I preferred being on my own. It was such a immersive experience and I felt as it was me, the artists, and the mass of people. I felt as bringing another person would distract from that.
