On Tuesday of this week, I had the awesome opportunity to see Bastille in concert at the Renaissance Colosseum on Bradley University's campus. I bought the ticket last minute at the really great price of $20 because of my student discount, and I am so glad that I did! The doors opened at 7 and because I had a ticket in the pit section (standing section in front of the stage) I wanted to get there early to make sure I got a good spot. I ended up being only two rows from the barricade in front of the stage so I was really excited about that! I got a great view of the entire concert. I had such a great time and that is why I wanted to make sure that I wrote a review of the concert.
A band called Mondo Cozmo opened for Bastille. I will be honest and say that I had never heard of them before but, I thought they were really good. They played for a half hour and I instantly looked up some of the songs their songs because I really did like them! If you haven't heard any of Mondo Cozmo's music, look them up because they are great! But, the show really started when Bastille came on around 9:00. Dan Smith, the leader singer of Bastille has an incredible voice! He sounds the same live as he does on the radio. He also has some awesome dance moves and so does the rest of the band (haha). Bastille puts on a great show and they are so much fun to watch because you can tell that they are giving their all and that they love what they do. Also, during one of their songs, Dan Smith came into the audience and walked through the crowd of people in the pit. I always think it's cool when a band or someone in a band does that. It really adds to the experience and just makes it more fun to be there! For being a concert at a college campus, Bastille made it feel like you were seeing them in a big auditorium or something. They had really cool background videos playing while they sang and a lot of light action. All of these elements combined just made the concert so much fun! Everyone in the pit was dancing and when it was over, I know that everyone was sad to see it end!
I can honestly say that I am so glad that I went to this concert! I would totally see Bastille again because I love their music and they are guaranteed to put on a great show! I love that Bradley University puts on concerts for their students because it has really added to my college experience. So, if you are thinking of seeing Bastille in concert, GO! It is totally worth it and I can promise that you will have a great time! Below are some of the pictures that I took at the concert! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the pictures!
