On the 30th of April 2014 I attended my first ever gig, it was MCBUSTED, and I'd reccomend it to anyone who likes giant inflatable breasts and balls flying everywhere - all will be explained in due course.
I attended with 5 of my closest friends Jess, Lucie, Beef/Elizabeth,Rosie and Annie, what I didn't know until I got there is that none of them appear to know more that 3 McFly or Busted songs *scoffs* disgraceful!
I arrived late as usual but not too late to miss any of the
three support acts. I loved the first two acts "Young Brando" and "E of E" and I wish them all the success in the world .The final group "The 3 Dudes" were good but they annoyed me. I don't know whether it was the fact that they had achieved so much more than me at such a young age, they were literally 12, or the fact that one of them twerked. I did like that they all looked like ex disney stars though, the twins of the band both looked like 'Rico' from Hannah Montana and the third brother looked like a Sprouse twin. I'm sure they're gonna make me eat my words though, after they've hit puberty that is,
that was harsh I'm sorry fellas.
After an hour and a half of support acts McBusted themselves came on accompanied by the Delorean and a shit tonne of pyrotechnics. They sang all the classics, Year 3000, Crashed the Wedding, Obviously etc but there was one song they played that I didn't know. Its called Nerdy and I'm listening to it right now, if this was one of their big songs I apologise for not knowing it, I was only 5 when they broke up though.
We were sitting around 210 or 211, and although the giant sports balls didn't reach past level 1 - so no impromptu catch session for us, was actually pretty decent seating so props to First Direct Arena and Jess's mummy for that. Well apart from for Beef who kept dropping her already broken glasses, on the floor, in the dark so the poor kid couldn't see half the show. I say kid but she is older than me as is everyone else in the group I went with.
But at that I think everyone felt like a kid, there's just something about McFly and Busted that makes you feel nostalgic even though McFly are still going strong 10 years on. They make you feel innocent and young even though you're surrounded by drunk people and there's 3 inflatable tits hanging from the ceiling, referencing the triple breasted who swim around town in Year 3000.
I definitely want to go to more gigs in the future but maybe with a little bit less famous bands though 'cause then tickets would be cheaper - although its well worth the money - and you get to be a lot closer to the action.

As I mentioned in this tweet I'm not a fan of chapped lips and they can easily get dry during the colder months which are approaching.
