I SAW HARRY STYLES!
Harry Styles did a tour of Australia last week, starting at Perth and ending at Sydney. He performed two shows at Sydney and I was fortunate enough to attend the second show with my mother. It was his final show in Australia, making me even luckier as it was a special one.
The show was on Saturday and we bought the tickets on Wednesday. We weren't planning to go because I was waiting for another concert but my mum has listened to As It Was and really wanted to go. So we looked to see if there were any tickets left and there were! They were Level 6 but you could still see him on the big screen.
I live an hour and a half away but because we had seats, we only needed to be early for the merch. The doors for the stadium opened at 5pm so we left the house at 1pm. We arrived at Accor Stadium at 2:30pm. We walked around, trying to find merch. I wanted the blue jumble crewneck but it was sold out from the first night so we tried to find the yellow one. At the first merch stand, they only had it in the small so we walked around the whole stadium, trying to find the other merch stands. They finally had it in a large, so we bought that.
We waited around for a bit and then went inside when the crowd had died down a bit. We had to climb a long ramp because we were right at the top. Then we sat down and waited for two hours before Wet Leg, the opening band, started playing. The crowd was electric and when they finished, "Best Song Ever" by One Direction started playing and the crowd just grew louder. By the time, Harry actually came on, everyone was so impatient.
He was ethereal on that stage. None of us could believe he was real. He started with Music For A Sushi Restaurant and the crowd lit up. I was standing up and screaming. Then he did Golden, Adore You, Keep Driving, Daylight and Woman. I sat next to this girl who was two years older than me and during Matilda, she sang the whole time that everyone kept giving her bad looks. I felt so bad. Then Harry sang Little Freak and that was one of the songs I was desperate to hear and the lights looked so good.
Satellite was one I was looking forward to hearing but it turned out to be one of my most favourites, live. The chorus was so good with everyone else screaming along. Then Cinema came along but my iPhone storage had ran out. I had checked my photo storage but had completely forgotten to check my storage as a whole. Luckily, I quickly deleted some apps that I didn't need and managed to continue filming and dancing along to Cinema as well. I had taken a glimpse of the setlist but I was surprised that TPWK was so early but everyone was up on their feet and dancing along. Then WMYB and everyone knows that song. Late Night Talking and Watermelon Sugar were quite popular as well because they are singles and even those who don't really like Harry Styles know them. Love of My Life, the second song I was desperate to hear, came up next and again, the lights in the stadium were gorgeous. Sign Of The Times was next and that song is so beautiful and iconic. Then, as a special treat, Harry brought Daryl Braithwaite onstage with him to sing "The Horses". Then he said a massive goodbye speech and sang As It Was and Kiwi. Then he sprinted away and the whole stadium went silent for a brief second as we all registered the fact that we wouldn't see him again.
We decided to drive back home so we left at 11pm and arrived home at around 12:30am. The whole drive, I was looking back at the videos while trying not to fall asleep. The concert didn't seem real and I can't believe I got to see Harry and he breathed the same air as me.
This is a video I took from Matilda. (video is owned by me):
