On Saturday 3rd October 2015 I went to see One Direction perform at Manchester arena. I'd been to see them twice before and they were really good both times, so I was excited to see them again.
Their setlist was the longest I've ever seen for a concert, about 25 songs! They performed huge hits such as Best Song Ever and Little Things, and also performed a few less known songs from their last album Four, such as Fireproof and Stockholm Syndrome (two songs I absolutely love).
Was the concert different without Zayn? Apart from his high note in You & I (I'm sorry, Liam just doesn't do it justice for me), I barely missed him. Maybe this is because I've always been a Harry and Niall girl, but the boys put on a fantastic show as a four piece.
I loved the runway set up of the stage. I'm a bit disapointed they didn't have a B-Stage, but the runway still brought them close to me sat in block 105, and they performed on it quite a lot during the show.
Although there is noticably less 'banter' between the boys than there is at a McBusted show, One Direction still had plenty of fun with the crowd. Louis and Liam's water fight was hilarious during the encore - they were soaking wet by the time the show finished.
You should definitely be excited if you're going to see them on tour this year, One Direction always put on an amazing concert. However be warned, the screams of the fans will leave your ears ringing for days afterwards.
Have you seen One Direction live before? I'd love to hear about your experience in the comments!
They're absolutely beautiful!! :') Every single one of them <3 You're so so lucky!! AH! and you were so close to them too :D This is so cool! I've always been a Harry girl so I never really felt anything when Zayn left. I mean it was a little disappointing but he wanted to leave so it's not like we could force him to stay. Glad to hear you had a lot of fun :)

Thank you! I feel so lucky aha! I agree totally, I'm a Harry girl so I wasn't too upset I just miss Zayn's vocals x
DeleteYour pictures are unreal! I also love fireproof & stockholm syndrome I'm so glad they performed them. 100% agree with the whole ears ringing, I always forget how many screaming fans there are until after and I can barely hear myself talk. X
