The 1975 Concert

On Friday 10th Januray 2014 I went to see The 1975 perform at the o2 Academy in Brixton. I saw this as a perfect opportunity to gain more inspiration with regards to how my main artist should behave when on stage, as well as what they wear, and also to see first hand what the audience are like, how they behave, what they wear etc.

At the gig, singer Matt Healy jumped into the photographer's pit before the first song is over. He slaps the hands of the front row in the audience. He later turned up on the balcony for a run around. This gave me a few ideas and allowed me to witness first hand what it is I should d
o with my artist. I will also add a new reader profile based on what I seen regarding the audience.
