Twenty Twenty tour


Twenty Twenty were recently touring around the UK with support bands Room 94 and Future Proof, as well as a local support band for each venue.
Kim bought tickets for Twenty Twenty as soon as they came out, I mean literally, we got tickets 3 and 4. The tickets were for the 4th May at Rock City in Nottingham. We arrived a little bit early because of my interview with FutureProof. I've never been to Rock City before but it is quite a nice venue, the floors are ridiculously sticky and at one point when I was jumping to Twenty Twenty my shoe stayed stuck to the floor =P.
By the time me and Kim got into the venue The Hush had already began their set, they were really good, I had listened to one of their songs the day before, after I found out that they were the local support.
Soon after, FutureProof began to set up. Yes of course your set begins at 8 boys!... Anyway, pretty much as soon as they started I had to tell Max (the guy on TwentyTwenty's merch stand) about me having an interview. Shortly after, their tour manager came down and we went to do the interview with Twenty Twenty .




We came back for the end of FutureProof's set, (kind of sucks as I wanted to see them) but what I did see was great, and the crowd seemed to really enjoy it.
Me and Kim then went and bought some Merch, a wristband from the Twenty Twenty stand, where Max asked how the interview went... He's lovely - go follow - https://twitter.com/#!/HeyMaxMonroe
And of course some FutureProof wristbands... I have an obsession with buying wristbands at concerts, oh and go follow https://twitter.com/#!/MartyAJackson too, he's lovely as well.
Room 94 began and we joined the crowd, they are Amazing live, I kind of expected it anyway but they really get the crowd jumping. It made me laugh when they covered One Direction and Justin Bieber.

Room 94 - Tonight


Twenty Twenty - I've never jumped so much at a concert. Sadly I didn't really film any of their performance, mainly because I was non-stop jumping. I have seen them once before when they supported The Wanted on their Behind Bars tour, which I also enjoyed a lot, so I knew they would be good. One of my favourite Twenty Twenty songs is Magic so I'm extremely happy that they sang that.
The crowd got into it from the start, with a mix of singing along and jumping to the music, it was quite obvious that they were also enjoying it. The energy from the crowd was amazing, and Twenty Twenty were definitely feeding off of it. They don't just stand still and sing/ play their instruments, they ensure that they get the crowd involved as well as bouncing all over the stage - and in Jack's case dancing on the bar .. (You can see a clip of that at the end of my interview with them).

I don't think I could have enjoyed the gig anymore than I did, nor Kim. Sam took his shirt off at the end, but my iPhone had died by then so I didn't get a photo. Pretty much straight after the gig the boys came outside, where we got a photo with them (I kinda forgot to ask at the interview =P) and they signed my arm... Kim was more sensible and got them to sign her ticket.
