Upcoming Spring Gigs & Festivals

This is something I've always got excited about ever since being about 12/13 years old.. Gigs. 

Here are a few I have coming up I want to share with you :)

Architects w/ Every Time I Die & Counterparts | 13th March | Camden Roundhouse, London

I've seen Architects a few times before, but this is their biggest show I have been to yet. 

I loved 'Hollow Crown' and 'The Here And Now' but after that I can't say I've listened to anything! Oops? I've seen Every Time I Die before (supporting A Day To Remember last year) and I wouldn't say they're a band I would listen to very often, but they're weirdly fun to watch live. 

I have never seen Counterparts but I know my Boyfriend LOVES them. If anyone knows of any newer Architects stuff that's worth a listen then let me know in the comments!

Funeral For A Friend | 20th February | The Haunt, Brighton

I have never seen this band and I am ridiculously excited, as this band have got me through all the happy and incredibly sad times aka. Break Ups & Arguments etc in the last 7 years. As weird as it sounds, I literally can't wait!! Plus it falls on payday! What better way to celebrate?

Four Year Strong w/ Hit The Lights, Light You Up & Forever Came Calling | 28th March | Concorde 2, Brighton 

I am SO excited for this gig. Not only have I wanted to see FYS since 'Bada bing wid a pipe' came out but Hit The Lights are possibly my favourite band to watch live (and in my home town aswell..mega brownie points!) I am yet to listen to Light You Up or Forever Came calling but I've heard they are really good, so I will be listening to them sometime this week. 

Slam Dunk Festival 2015| South | Hertfordshire University | 24th May 

So it's only a day event but this is my all time favourite festival. I've been going for the last 4 years and not once has it let me down. Pop-Punk is my favourite genre of music and this holds such a variety of Alternative bands, from local to all over the world. I have met loads of different bands/artists just from walking around the campus & seen so many bands I would have dreamed about seeing live at the age of 14. It has definitely upped its game over the last 2 years or so. 

I actually appreciate it a lot more when I'm not stumbling around looking for a toilet, or crying because I'm too drunk. I have never been to the after party because I find I'm just too tired at the end of the day. I would rather slump into a cosy hotel bed until morning! I have heard it is a lot of fun (also a great way to meet/ party with band members) so if you can stay awake like a saint then I'd recommend it. 

If you're thinking about Slam Dunk, be sure not to miss out :) Its a sure winner! 

Any gigs or festivals you guys are thinking about this year?

Or if you are going to one of these shows, let me know!
