2010
Westlife 2010
The return of the four guys from Westlife became a really
great show in M.E.N Arena in Manchester England. May 30 was
the date and the show was great. Every dance move was in
place and they were back in the game. Sang most of the good
old one's and some of the new stuff. I liked the medley the
most, where they sang "I got a feeling", "The boys are back
in town", "Sex on fire".
Green Day 2010
The best ever concert I've been to was Green Day 5th of June
at Ullevi Gothenburg. They played all the good songs, had a
lot of fireworks, did unexpected things, took up several
people from the audience. Some got to sing in front of
25.000 people at Ullevi. Billie Joe Armstrong is a real
entertainer!
Lars Winnerbäck (+ others)
Trädgårdsföreningen was filled and Lars Winnerbäck gave a
great show as usual. This time ha had four other artists
with him, Melissa Horn which is a really good singer, Laleh,
Love Antell and Dunder Tåget. The last mentioned was a real
disaster, they played so loud and bad. I guess if you like
it it's great but it wasn't anything for me. Lasse sang lots
of our favorite songs.
2009
Ane Brun 2009
4th of October, we went to a concert at Lorensbergsteatern
in Gothenburg. Our first and last Ane Brun concert.
She can sing, no question about that, but everything was so
depressing and we only knew two songs, covers; "Big in
Japan" and "True Colors".
Lars Winnerbäck 2009
30th of October we went to Lisebergshallen in Gothenburg to
see Lars Winnerbäck, which is one of our favorite artists.
He started off the show with "Järnvägsspåren" which I said
before the show should be the intro song...
Great song! He did many songs from the new album and some
old songs, it was a great show. Lars really knows how to
make the audience be a part of the show.
Melissa Horn 2009
7th of December we went to see Melissa Horn at
Lorensbergsteatern in Gothenburg. This young girl is
fantastic, she has such a beautiful voice and very
thoughtful great lyrics.
It was a great concert so everyone who'll get the chance, go
to one!!
Metallica 2009
7th of March we went to Globen Arena in Stockholm to see one
of my favorite metal bands, Metallica. The show was awesome,
the stage was in the middle of the arena and they went
around so everyone could see them. 2 ½ hours passed by so
quickly and they did many great songs, like "One", "Master
of puppets", "Seek and destroy", "Nothing else matters",
"Fight fire with fire", "Sad but true" and many more.
Thåström 2009
4th of April we went to see Joakim Thåström, this time at
Nöjesfabriken in Karlstad.
He played many favorites and some new songs. This was a
really nice show. I believe the show was sold out because it
was very crowded.
U2 2009
1th of August, sold out Ullevi arena in Gothenburg.
My first ever U2 concert and it was a fantastic show with
lights and some great songs, all the famous songs, like
"One", "It's a beautiful day", "Vertigo", "Sunday bloody
sunday" and more. It was a fantastic summer night with this
hugh rockband.
Ulf Lundell 2009
27th of February we went to Scandinavium in Gothenburg to
listen to Ulf Lundell "Omaha" tour. First part of the
concert was all crap. I didn't recognize any song. The band
was awesome, I was really impressed by the drummer, really
cool guy and he was great on the drums.
Second part of the show was great, I almost knew all the
songs.
The best song was "Chans", "Farligt, farligt, men härligt,
härligt" and "Gå ut och var glad".
2008
Bruce Springsteen 2008
4th of July the Boss himself entered Ullevi arena at exact
21.00. We had seats on the platform but the big screens
helped us see him very good.
He sang 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy), Born In The U.S.A,
Radio Nowhere, Out In The Street, Darlington County, Because
The Night and many more.
The show was full of surprises as always with Bruce. He
picked notes from the audience and played most of the songs
on the notes. It was a great show!
Lars Winnerbäck 2008
11th of July it was time for
Lars Winnerbäck at Slottskogsvallen. 10.700 people came to
see him. They had two stages on which LW, Miss Li, Maia
Hirsawa and some comedians performed. Winnerbäck sang many
of my favorite songs, Om du lämnar mig nu, Strimmor, Hugger
i sten and more. He ended the show with “Om du hade tid” and
that song is really good!
Queen + Paul Rodgers Glasgow 2008
11th of October me and my mom went to Glasgow for a concert
with my longtime idols Queen. The S.E.C.C arena was full and
the crowd was all crazy. I guess that many saw them for
their first time this night because the tickets are not that
easy to get a hold off.
This was the best concert I've been to in my whole life.
They sang all my favorite songs and made great solo
performances on the stage. Queen and Paul Rodgers were
OUTSTANDING!!!
Ulf Lundell 2008
5th of November we went to Konserthuset in Gothenburg to
listen to Ulf Lundell "Unplugged". It was OK, but I didnt'
recognize more than 3-5 songs and the show was almost three
hours. But it was fun to have tickets and see him live like
this. The best song on the show was "Folket bygger landet".
Westlife Sheffield 2008
March 2008, we went to Sheffield for the Back Home Tour
of Westlife. The boys last tour for a year, they are taking
a break from all the touring to spend more time with family
and friend as they say. I hope that is true, otherwise this
was my last Westlife concert.
The concert was great in many ways but because it is unsure
if they will return I could not enjoy it very much. But I
think the songs they did were very good picked out and the
lightning in the show was great. Some of my favourite songs
were played so I am very happy we went to Sheffield to see
them.
A massive crowd, 13.000 people were in the arena that night.
Awesome!
2007
Justin Timberlake Gothenburg 2007
June 2007 (25th) me, Teddy and Robbie went to see Justin
Timberlake in Scandinavium arena in Gothenburg. The tickets
was my birthday present!
At approximately 20:45 PM Justin came up on stage and the
sold out arena went crazy and were screaming very loud. The
first song was "FutureSex / Lovesound" and Justin with his
band worked it very well together.
He sang some of his old songs, like "Cry me a river", "Like
I love you", "Senorita" and "Rock your body" and many from
the new record, "What goes around…comes around, LoveStoned /
I think that she knows", "My Love", "Another song (all over
again)" and of course "Sexy Back". The show was excellent
and the stage was enormous and during some songs different
screens came down around the stage so the audience could see
Justin better!
I just loved the show and would very much like to see him
again sometimes.
Lars Winnerbäck Gothenburg 2007
October 2007, we went to see Lars Winnerbäck in
Lisebergshallen. Another CD with new songs and a new Lasse!
Long hair and a new band behind him. He did some old songs
as well and some new, "Kom änglar" welcomed the crowd to
sing along and so we did! The show were awesome, I loved it
and hope we can go again really soon.
Westlife Glasgow 2007
April 2007 Teddy and I went to Glasgow to see the
Westlife-boys again. We left Sweden on April 5th for four
days in Glasgow. Westlife were playing at the Scottish
Exhibition Conference Center (S.E.C.C) on April 7th.
They entered the stage from the roof, they layed in a circle
with lights around it and a simulation of fire. When they
were on the ground they sang "Total eclipse of the heart"
and followed that one up with "When you're looking like
that". A few songs more and there it was, the medley!
This time they made a tribute medley to all time best
boybands, started off with Backstreet Boys and then New Kids
on the block, Boyzone, Take That and of course Westlife.
Very good medley so to say!
Some more songs came as, "Uptown girl", "You raise me up"
and one of my favourite songs "Flying without wing". The
final song was "The Rose" and during that song they had a
film with a flowering rose. Very beautiful!
Can't wait until next year when we go again!
2006
Lars Winnerbäck Gothenburg 2006
April 4, it was time again for a splendid concert till the
very best Lars Winnerbäck.
This time it was held at the student house Kåren and the
time was set to 21pm.
Around 21.15pm the band came out on stage and the crowd of
850 fans screamed, a few seconds later Lasse himself came
out on the stage and the crowd went even crazier.
They started off with “Dom tomma stegen” which is a slow
song. After that “Dunkla rum” and we all sang along.
We stood on a balcony so we saw the band from above and I
first thought that we should stand on the floor were the
party was but after a while I understood the meaning of
standing up here. Our site was perfect.
He sang most of my favourite song, and around half time he
sang his new song “Stockholms kyss” which I think is really
great!
Lasse and the band came in and did 4 extra songs and the
total time for the concert was around 1,5 hour. Again I was
feeling very happy when we went out of the concert and I
can’t wait until the summer tour at Trädgårsföreningen.
See you then!
Lars Winnerbäck Gothenburg 2006
July 2006 Lars Winnerbäck entered the stage at
Trädgårdsföringen in Gothenburg. This show was to be the
summers coolest concert. The sold out concert just were.
Nothing spectacular, nothing special and the fans was not
very loud. It was quite boring. Could it be because we had
been to so many or was it something with just this one?
I don't know, I still love his songs and just the other day
we put on a live DVD with Lasse & Hovet and it was
brilliant.
Hope to have back the "feeling" for next time...
Westlife Newcastle 2006
May 3 we went to see Westlife at the Metro Radio Arena
in Newcastle.
The show started off with a green light stretching over the
ceiling and the guys was standing on some platforms in the
air.
Flying without wings started off and the crowd went crazy.
When the boys were on the stage some sounds came from the
band and I figured that it was Hit you with the real thing
(which I was hoping should come on this tour).
The almost sold out arena went all crazy and the youngest
girls shouted so high that you almost couldn’t here the boys
sing.
The show was brilliant, so entertaining and cool, lots of
colours on the lights and many special effects came along
during the show. They played many of my favorite songs, like
Amazing, Swear it again, When you’re looking like that and
of course Flying without wings. This show was probably the
best one they ever has done regarding to my opinion and we
saw it in Newcastle which is a very nice city in Britain.
Thanks a lot for this show and I really hope they come to
Sweden this year so I can see it again.
2005
Brian McFadden Glasgow 2005
On Friday the 3:rd of June 2005 me and Teddy went to
Glasgow in Scotland.
The main event of this trip was the Brian McFadden concert
that same evening at 19:30.
We landed at Prestwick International Airport at 13:20 and
went staight to the train that would take us in to Glasgow
City central. Finally at the Central we asked for directions
to our hotel. A man told us the way and said it would take
about 10 minutes to walk. We thought that was ok and started
walking.
When we had walked for about 10 minutes and didn't see the
hotel we asked a girl for directions. She told us to follow
the river and we did. Soon (after about 30 minutes total) we
could see our hotel - Campanile hotel at 10 Tunnel Street.
We could see the arena from here - The Clyde Auditorium (the
conference hall of Scottish Exhibition Conference Centre -
S.E.C.C) It was a beautiful building. I had waited for this
concert for a whole year and I was so excited. Teddy told me
that he was too. Finally inside the arena....
The show had two forbands, Zoo and Fleeth. One boyband and
one rockband. The boyband Zoo walked around in the crowd and
wrote autographs. Teddy fixed me some autographs on their
own flyers.
When Brian got on stage everybody were standing and most of
the girls were shouting. He joked and made fun of them but
it just made them scream louder. He started off with "Irish
Son" and the whole audience sang with him. After a few of
his own songs he sat down on a stool and sang Westlifes
"Flying without wings". His shaddow appeard on the wall and
I took a nice picture of it. Just after that nice set he
started to ask the audience which one who had or hadn't sang
karaoke.
We just stood there when Brian said:
"That bald guy over there, in the orange shirt - have you
ever sang karaoke"? We didn't understand immediately that he
infact talked to Teddy. But in a few seconds time we
understood because the whole audience looked at us. Teddy
shoke his head and Brian said: "a liar", how about your
girlfriend, has she ever sang karaoke"? I smiled, shoke my
head and said no. Then Brian said: "another liar" and
laughed a bit.
After this little fantastic moment he started to sing
"Mustang Sally" and let the audience finish the chours "ride
Sally ride" several times. It was really great and I felt
that he wanted the audience to be a part of the show.
He ran around in the crowd so that his bodyguard went a
little bit nervous. He was like just an armlength from me.
He jumped into the crowd and I got some pictures of that
with my mobile cam.
Later he sang "Almost here" which is a duet with Delta
Goodrem. But since she wasn't there he had to have someone
else to sing her parts. So he let the audience sing that. He
made fun of their pronunciation "hir" which should be
"here". But at last he were satisfied with our performance
and got on with the show. Two other Westlife song came
up,"World of our own" and the last song he did were "Uptown
girl".
The audience where shouting when he had left the stage but
he had made his final song and a superb show. I can't wait
for the next one...
Lars Winnerbäck Gothenburg 2005
Friday the 22:nd of July 2005 Lars Winnerbäck were in town.
Of course Teddy and I were there.
Lars W and Hovet gave us a great show at Trädgårdsföreningen.
With 9000 people in the audience LW told us that we were the
largest crowd they have played for so far this tour.
That felt really great and the atmosphere were fantastic.
Earlier on the day I sang the song for myself at work (quiet
of course) to learn more lyrics.
But I think that was a really bad idea because when it all
started I didn't remember much of the lyrics. I new more of
the lyrics the day before. "Stupid me" I thought. But I
remembered most of the choruses so I sang along at those
times.
Best performances according to me were;
"Kom änglar" which LW did acoustic and alone on stage with
the whole audience singing along. "Elden" which is a greeeat
song. "Kom ihåg mig" where LW and Hovet lined up at the
front of the stage and sang different parts of the song
individually.
"Elegi" which I think is a really nice song. Parts of it
make me think of special people in my life. They played many
songs I haven't heard before but I give this concert 4/5. LW
is god!
Lars Winnerbäck Varberg 2005
Believe it or not but on Wednesday 27th or July me and Teddy
went to Varberg, about 70 kilometers from Gothenburg, to see
Lars Winnerbäck.
We didn't get enough last time which was 5 days ago.
The stage was placed so LW could see the sea and we had it
behind us. It was a very beautiful place to have a concert.
My first time in Varberg for a concert. In the beginning of
the show, it was very crowded among the audience.
The security guards had to talk some sense in to several
young boys in the audience. It was much more youths here in
Varberg than in Gothenburg.
Back to the show then, LW did another perfect performance
and Hovet helped him very good.
We stood behind very short persons so it almost felt like we
were on the first row.
He played all the favourite songs and did a solo thing on
"Faller" and "Kom änglar".
During "Kom änglar" he mislead himself and sang a wrong
line. He laughed it away and started over. It is no wonder
that he sings wrong sometimes, he has so many different
song.
LW & Hovet had a little different set from the one they had
in Gothenburg. But it was outstanding!
I can proudly say that I was one of the 5000 fans in Varberg
who made Lasse feel very welcome and appreciated. He is
magnificent and right after the show I wanted to see more,
but 2 concerts in 5 days has to be enough for this year.
There is always the records...
Lars Winnerbäck Linköping 2005
Ops! I have to say that I wasn't quite honest with you
in the last sentence...
October 19th 2005, me and Teddy went to Linköping for Lars
Winnerbäck's birthday concert.
It were held in Cloetta Center, the Hockey arena.
I had to take some time off from work so that we could do
this car trip which took us about 3 hours.
They let us in the arena around 18:00, and we all got a gift
from Lasse. It was an EP with B-side songs which never again
will be released, a letter with all information about the
EP, a balloon with the text "Lasse 30 år", a packet with
candy, a lolli-pop, a brooch and a collectors card.
The concert started with "Där elden falnar (men fortfarande
glöder) which is what Winnerbäck is calling his "30 years
crisis song".
The whole crowd were lyrical and we all sang with him.
After 3-4 songs we all started to sing "Ja må han leva" for
Lasse. He and Hovet stoped playing and just listened. 8000
people singing "ja må han leva" that is something. It
sounded quite good for being done by people who couldn't
sing.
He was very touched by that I think, he said "Thank you very
much and thank you all for coming here tonight".
After some more songs Lasse shouted "Anna Ternheim" and she
came in on stage. The crown went all crazy, she is so good.
They sang "Elegi" together and made the song to a duet,
which I thought was very nice.
During the concert Winnerbäck shouted in "Håkan Hellström"
to sing with him and "Nicke Borg" from The Hellacopters.
Håkan sang "För dig" and "Så länge skutan kan gå" and Nicke
Borg sang "Elden".
This was out of the question a very cool thing to do. Too
bad that they didn't do the songs as good as Lasse but it
was good.
After 20 songs Lasse and Hovet went off the stage but came
back in very shortley after to do some extra songs.
During the song "Min älskling har ett hjärta av snö" they
had arranged so thousends of balloons fell down from the
roof. This made it even more a Birthday party.
I believe that all the 8000 fans in the crowd were very
pleased after the show. You are always sad when it's over
but now you have something nice to think about during the
winter until the next time...
Ulf Lundell Alingsås 2005
Saturday 23:rd of July 2005 me and Teddy went to Alingsås, a
small town 50 kilometers from Gothenburg.
We went there to listen to Ulf Lundell.
It was a rainy day but I didn't care about that, this should
be a great concert so rain couldn't stop it.
When we came to Stora Torget were it should be held it was
only about 50 people there. We said to each other "how
awkward for Lundell" only 50 people and rain.
We got really great places, right in front of the stage on
the right side. First row! Can you imagine, two people from
Gothenburg succeeded to get places on the first row!
This was the first time for me this close to stage, it was
cool. Lundell was just a few meters (maybe just 2 armlenghts
from) during several parts of the show. I don't know many of
Lundell songs but it was a really great show.
The best songs according to me was:
"Chans", "Lycklig Lycklig", "Farligt Farligt men härligt
härligt", "St Monica".
He told us that he will be back next year so I just say
"Until then..."
Westlife Stockholm 2005
On the 28th of March 2005 me and Teddy went to Stockholm to
see Westlife. The train rolled out from Gothenburg 08:42 in
the morning so the 3 hour trip was not exactly what we
wanted. But as the train stopped at the central station in
Stockholm we were excited. Now it was just a few hours
away......
We took the underground to Hagsätra and got off at the
station GLOBEN. The hotel was right beside the arena. The
room was nice and comfortable.
We spent the day in Norsborg, were Teddy first saw the
world. He lived there until he was six years old. After
wandering around in Norsborg we went back to the hotel to
get ready for the concert.
18:45 we took the tickets and went to the arena. When it was
time for the concert a searchlight went around the arena and
one of the entrences was lighted up. There they were,
getting escorted by bodyguards to the stage around rinkside.
It was quite an entrence.
They started off with some of the No. 1 hits they have had
through the years, in the middle they had a cover-set among
others Footlose and Pretty woman and they sang a few songs
from their Rat-Pack album. They closed the consert with
"Flying without wings" and promised to be back next year and
said that we could wait for the studio album at the end of
this year........Yippie!!
2004
Lars Winnerbäck 2004
September 2004 we went to Linköping, about 277km from home.
We went there to see Lars Winnerbäck. He was playing in
front of his home crowd at The Cloetta Center, which is the
new hockey-arena in Linköping. We came around 1 o'clock and
checked in at the hotel, Radisson SAS at Stora Torget.
The concert was set to 8 PM and until then we had lots of
hours to spend in Linköping. But instead of doing that on
this sunny & warm September day we sat inside watching "Finnkampen".
Around 7 PM we were at the arena and took place on the
arena-floor. A couple of girls wanted to change tickets with
us but we were very satisfied with ours so that was a NO NO!
Before the concert started a dark clothed man entered the
stage, which I after he had opened his mouth heard who it
was, I t was Torsten Flink. A sound from the audience went
around the arena when he read a poem written by Lars
Winnerbäck.
The concert started and I was surprised no one were jumping
up and down or shouting. After a a while the sound became
higher and then I understood why people didn't act crazy
until after. The first song he sang were "Det är visst någon
som är tillbaka" and no one had heard that song so there was
no sing-a-long!
The second song was "Elden" I think and then everybody went
all crazy! In the middle of the concert somewhere, Joakim
Thåström came in and sang a song together with Winnerbäck.
This was really cool! First Torsten and then Joakim! The
concert was really great and when we went back to the hotel
we were both very satisfied with it. Sunday we travelled
back home, 277km in about 3 hours.
Lars Winnerbäck Gothenburg 2004
Monday, 1/11-04 me and Teddy went to see Lars Winnerbäck
at Konserthuset in Gothenburg. This was his acoustic solo
tour and it was so great. He started off with "Det är visst
nån´ som är tillbaka..." and with one guitar only, he owned
the show totally. As you can imagine in a Concert house the
atmosphere is something special, everybody in the crowd were
so calm and just sat there listening to him. It was a really
nice show, very beautiful stage set up with a big frame
behind him that showed different moments from his career.
During the show he gave us a few laughs, he had a
"fake-nail" to use instead of a plectrum and while he played
"Hjärter dams sista sång" it fell off and the crowd just
burst out in a big laugh. He joked about it and tried to not
destroy the moment with his laugh. He left the stage to say
goodnight while clapping his hands. We shouted and clapped
our hands so he came in two extra times. The final song was
"Kom änglar" which became an sing-along from the whole
crowd. He left the stage very moved!
Westlife Dublin 2004
May 2004 we went to Dublin - the hometown of two of the
Westlife-boys. We had planned to go by train from Dublin to
Sligo or The Cliffs of Moher on the other side of Ireland,
but it was too expensive so we stayed in Dublin City.
This was a city full of people but it was a really nice
vacation. A few years back my little brother lived in Dublin
and worked at a bar over there (Zanzibar) Naturally we just
had to go and check that bar out. We did, and many other
cool things. We should have gone to The Guinness Brewery,
but when the city-tour bus got there it started to rain and
it was no fun getting all wet. We missed one tourist
attraction but what the hell!
Instead we went to Dublin Zoo on a more sunny day. This was
a really big place and they had a lot of different kinds of
animals. Most of the pictures we took in Dublin were from
there. But the memories are still there so you don't have to
have pictures on everything.
The concert was massive, infront of their homecrowd (10 sold
out shows gave Westlife the top place of most played shows
at The Point Theatre). As they were only 4 boys left I think
they did a superb show.
The crowd didn't stay quiet for more than max 1 minute. The
show was full of surprises, with fireworks and different
outfits they had the audience totally in control.
It's really something to see your IDOL's outside Sweden.
Westlife Gothenburg 2004
The 28 of may 2004, me, Teddy, Robert and my friend Sabina
went to see Westlife in Scandinavium, Gothenburg. Since me
and Teddy already had seen them in Dublin this year we were
very excited to see if they could pull it off in Sweden as
well. Robert and my friend Sabina were both doubtful that
the lads, now as four could do something good. Both thought
that Brian McFadden were the best one in Westlife.
Sabina said that this was the last time she went to see them
because Brian left.
The show began and it was a very good show, the lads showed
their skills and pulled it off. Afterwards Sabina and Robert
said that they very much would like to see them next year.
The lads seemed as the boyband they have always been, with
or without Brian McFadden.
2003
Westlife Gothenburg 2003
May 2003 we got tickets to the Westlife boys concert in
Gothenburg for the first time. It was the Unbreakable -
Greatest Hits tour and it was a great show.
The problem with shows in Sweden, or Westlife shows in
Sweden is that they haven't got chairs on the arena floor,
they have standing places. This results in that people who
are located on the platform of the arena can’t see so good.
You are so far from the stage and the boys looks like tiny
tiny people. But the concert was really nice.
Westlife Newcastle 2003
July 2003 we went to Newcastle to see Westlife for the
second time this year. We took the DFDS Seaways boat from
Gothenburg via Kristiansand in Norway to Newcastle upon
Tyne. We came on Friday and went back home on Monday.
You might think that we didn't have time to do anything, but
in fact we went all around Newcastle town in 2 days. One day
we were at "Castle Keep" which is the old castle where the
king lived way back in time. Newcastle upon Tyne was a
little bit like London, but not at all that big.
A tiny little London you could say, with one big shopping
centre called Eldon Square. In this big shopping centre we
found one thing after another, Newcastle United (the
football club) had their own shop in there and it was a big
shop!
The Westlife concert was at the Telewest Arena and was
really great, I don't really know why concerts abroad are
better than at home. Maybe because you don't know anybody
and you can be a little crazy.?!
A really annoying thing happened when we were about to take
the bus back to the boat. We went down to the place we were
told to wait at, and waited, and waited, and waited. After
30 minutes we called the DFDS Seaways and asked them where
the bus were!
They told us that they had been there looking for us, but
that we just wasn't there. We went all pissed off and took a
cab to the terminal where the boat was just about to go. We
made it by a "hair"!
It was despite this a very pleasant trip.

Westlife Stockholm 2002
March 2002 me, my friend Sabina and both my brothers went
back up to Stockholm to see Westlife. Last year was great so
we just had to do it again. This time the stage were in the
middle of the arena and the boys danced around the stage
just so everybody should see them.
This was a really cool concert. My boyfriend Teddy were at
the time of the concert in Germany watching a boxing bout so
he wasn't able to see the concert. There for I took him to
London just a few months later....
Westlife London 2002
May 2002 we went to London to see Westlife at Earls Court.
It was a fantastic show. We were ground floor seated, at the
third row from the stage so we saw the boys very well. =)
We stayed in London for 2 nights and had a lot of fun.
London as you know is a very large city so we didn't had the
time to see much of the city, just the central parts. But
it's the central parts where everything happens.

Westlife Stockholm 2001
Early spring 2001 me and my both brothers went to Stockholm
to see Westlife. It was their first ever world tour. The
concert took place at the Globe Arena and we were very
excited.
It was my first time in this big city. The concert started
off with a video on a big screen up on stage, were the boys
were lying down in a circle. A person gave them electric
chocks so they woke up.
The whole arena were screaming. And you can't imagine
yourself how loud that was. 99% of the audience were girls
under 14 years old and they have very high-pitched voices.
=)
The first song were "Dreams can come true" and both me and
my brothers liked it very much.
