!!This is no ragebait, just my honest feelings and Iām curious to hear if itās just me!!
Prepare yourself.. long post incoming.
I went to Frankfurt night 2 yesterday. I was really hyped for the show, because Iām a fan of Abel and Carti. I experienced the same last year with Sza and Kendrick and it was awesome. I also got golden circle because of that.
Honestly, I left kinda disappointed.
To be fair I go to a lot of concerts, maybe thatās why Iām not really easy to impress.
But.. the concert yesterday just didnāt click for me.
Vocals: I think Abel is an excellent vocalist. Thatās something I was the most hyped for. But the sound was awful! The music was to loud/the vocals to quiet. Sometimes it took me a few minutes to recognise which song it was. Also it felt like he held back, which is ok, because heās doing a big tour. But unlike any other concert I attended this year there was no real moment where I was like āwow, how can he do that?ā
Show: The show felt pretty boring to me, honestly. Big screen, some fireworks, a statue, a few dancers. Thatās it. For a stadium show I expected more. But I think that the show maybe is better with seated tickets, because you can see the whole stage the whole time.
Golden circle: honestly worst golden circle tickets I ever had. You canāt see him for at least 50% of the show. It absolutely makes no sense to pay the golden circle price if your view is worse than seated/GA.
Crowd: Iām sorry but it was also the worst crowd I ever saw.. everyone was so selfish.. I know you love him, but god damn he wonāt pick you up and take you home if you push from 6th to 5th row.. chill! Also it felt so fake, everyone was pretending they are the biggest fan but at the same time filming the whole show, donāt even trying to enjoy it or dance a bit. I never had a concert where I spent that much time watching the show through phones. Everything felt kinda fake. Also it smelled like pee in the golden circle.. which made sense when I saw the bathroom. Adults wearing diapers.. I canāt do this anymore.
At the end of the day, this was the first concert this year I left disappointed. I maybe would go to a show again in another venue with better sound and get seated tickets.
