Panic! At The Disco

tuesday 16 october 2018 @ spark arena
opener: Openside

went with my mum for my 13th birthday. baby emo me was
so incredibly happy to 1. go to my first concert and 2. see
one of my favourite bands ever (at that point), despite it
being for the pray for the wicked tour (bad; radio music.
which is why my mum was also excited to go). bought a
white hoodie at merch.

Guns n Roses

saturday 10 december 2022 @ eden park
openers: The Chats, Alien Weaponry

wasn't going to go but my mum got box tickets through a work
friend and took me with. could see kinda backstage from the
box so i got to watch slash and duff walk up into the stage
before we left the box for proper seats. alien weaponry was
great. got complimented on for my blond mohawk (i actually
stood it up for once). got an overpriced zip up hoodie from
merch.

My Chemical Romance

saturday 11 march 2023 @ the outer fields
openers: Lips, Goodnight Nurse

went with my one emo friend from highschool. tickets were
a birthday present for my 19th birthday. I got a tshirt with
the pic of the pornstar with the mcr tramp stamp on it.
goodnight nurse went hard, esp their cover of milkshake.
so happy i could have cried if i wasn't busy singing.

Royal Blood

thursday 7 december 2023 @ spark arena
openers: Racing, Elliott & Vincent

went with my mcr friend and their brother because the
person who was going to take the ticket pulled out last
minute. hadn't heard of them before but i still listen
to the songs i liked from that night.

TV Girl

wed 24 july 2024 @ spark arena
openers: can't remember

went with my flatmate, wore a pink shirt and he wore blue
to match the who really cares album cover. one of the
openers was alright, the other had a singer who could not
sing it was actually so bad. tv girl's set was a relief after
that. merch was packed; didn't get anything.

Suicidal Tendencies

tuesday 18 nov 2025 @ the powerstation
opener: Big Noter

tickets were a present for my 21st and i took my friend who's
into 80s punk-ish stuff with. we ended up meeting people
there and stood with them. the pit was fun, managed not to
lose the hat i bought from merch before the show. people
were moshing within two songs of the opener, it was very
hype. i came out sopping wet with sweat.
