Maybe to give everyone enough time to catch the tube. As far as i know the last tube departs probably sometime around midnight. Sent via Tapatalk

Ok guys, I've had 3 hours of decent sleep and i'm back at my work computer now. Seems like a perfect time to write down a few words about last night. First of, I was super excited for this tour to start. I've only experienced one stadium show prior to this one and after all the small gigs in the last couple of years all I wanted was a stadium tour to kick off. And boy, last night it did. I arrived at the Veltins-Arena at around 3pm. With the bad weather forecast in mind i packed an umbrella and a raincoat, just in case. Luckily they never came into use. I met up with Becky who was already waiting in line and about an hour later the gates were opened, we grabbed ourselves some xylobands (they are huge btw) and went in. As a proud holder of an FOS 2 ticket I was expecting to be quite close to the stage. I was eying a spot next to the walkway (not sure if it's called that way but you know what I mean). I was well aware of the fact that I wouldn't be able to get in the front row since I had FOS 2. Unfortunately, as mentioned a few pages earlier, FOS 2 wasn't really “Front-of-Stage”. There was no way to get to the walkway, not even close (see pictures on the previous pages). We were all a bit disappointed by it, especially since we virtually payed the same price as FOS 1. Either way, I was able to get a very nice spot at the barrier. So you could make an argument that I got to first row after all. The only twist was, my first row was 15 meters away from the stage. 9 pm approached and the excitement grew. And finally, a few minutes after the hour the guys were on stage, fireworks went off and A Head Full Of Dreams blasted through the speakers. Wow, what a way to start a show. I've seen bits of it from the last shows and have already had the pleasure to experience two small AHFOD era shows before this one so I knew in advance that it would be pretty good. It was even better. I'm not going to dissect every piece of the (good) setlist, you can judge for yourself. Just a few things. I was extremely happy to see Lovers In Japan making a return to the setlist. I just love that song. They performed it in an half acoustic version and I absolutely loved it. It was one of the highlights of the night. The new xylobands are great. But i'm not sure why they have a speaker. It wasn't doing anything. If someone could tell me why they have one and what it is doing please let me know. I have a feeling that they are much brighter than the old ones and the ability to change color is definitely a good improvement. Not worth mentioning, once they were switched on the stadium looked superb. Although, the closed roof took away a bit of the atmosphere. But that's probably just me, I just love open-air concerts. The show closed with Up&Up. It's just as good as a closer as AHFOD is as an opener. It was 11:07pm and the first of seven A Head Full Of Dreams shows for me was in the books. On our way out we stopped by the merch stand. Could someone please explain to me why there is a hoodie on sale for 110€? I was shocked to see that and couldn't believe my eyes. The t-shirts were all 30-35€ each and for some unknown reason there was this hoddie at 3 times the price. Didn't look any more special than the shirts. And that was it, a great first night with many more to come in the upcoming weeks. Next stop: Wembley. Yes, I can't believe i'm writing this and it's actually true. (If you need evidence of how good last night was, my voice sounds like i have smoked a trillion cigarettes over the last two days) And someone wanted a picture from the merch stand

Not sure. I think even Chris and the tech guys weren't sure about what the problem is. It all sounded normal to me until Chris stopped and said something wasn't working. Sent via Tapatalk

I would say close to 2 hours if not exactly 2 hours. Gig ended at 11:07. Audience was probably pretty basic, nothing special, nice singalongs where they belong. This was only my 2. stadium show and the first one was 4 years ago. So i don't have anything to compare it to. Sent via Tapatalk

Show is over, will write something later. Sent via Tapatalk

Lovers In Japan. What a great surprise. It was amazing!!! Sent via Tapatalk

You could, but it looked much different. Sent via Tapatalk

You can see the difference between FOS 1 and 2 pretty well in this one. [MEDIA=instagram]BGHhXVOHdfj[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://instagram.com/p/BGHhXVOHdfj/ Sent via Tapatalk

Special gelsenkirchen thing. In wembley it's just one huge GA, berlin has FOS and GA. Sent via Tapatalk

It's this far away... At the same price. Sent via Tapatalk

Why is FOS 2 not FOS, thats the important question. Sent via Tapatalk

I'm sweating like a pig since i left my car. Sent via Tapatalk

You are right, it's not really FOS. Doesn't seem fair. Sent via Tapatalk
