Went from being all sad after the concert on Sunday, to my sister barging in my room and asking me if I wanted 3 tickets for less than £50, uhhh YES! She had 6 minutes until the tickets were totally gone, so I'm very lucky that I got them.

Here's my 2025 predictions!

1) EXO comeback

2) Red Velvet split due to contract renewals, maybe fall into dreaded 'indefinite hiatus.'

3) SHINee comeback (pls, we were meant to get a mini album in 2024 and it didn't happen.)

4) BTS comeback and announce world tour.

5) A big company goes bust

3) A group from a small company rises to fame from a hit single (FIFTY FIFTY style)

(Honestly not sure about this one?)

4) Member of a popular 3rd gen group announces marriage (bonus points for pregnancy)

(As far as I know, nope!)

5) NCT 127 world tour that comes to Europe

(*Falls to knees*)

My 5 predictions last year were:

1) SHINee or Taemin world tour that includes Europe

(Yippie! I see Taemin in 2 months on his first world tour!)

2) Another NCT unit is formed, mainly with international members due to enlistments

(NCT final unit is 'Wish' who debuted in 2023, so I was wrong!)

I've been lucky enough to attend some great shows this year, and I have already got three concerts lined up for 2025! I love music so much, and so most of my money goes into seeing bands/artists I like.

So far in 2025 I am seeing Motionless In White, Taemin and Tyler, The Creator!

Finally, I saw Slipknot for the fourth time ever last night!

This is also another band which I grew up listening to, as my older brother was a HUGE fan of them back in the 2000's and introduced me to them.

Last nights show was a 25th Anniversary show, so I heard 'Scissors' for the first time!

At the end of November, I saw Charli xcx with my sister, who had got tickets in April after years of wanting to see her live. I am glad I liked the 'Brat' album, as I hadn't really listened to her before. The show was great and I hadn't danced around that much in a while!

The day after this, I attended my first NCT DREAM concert with my sister after missing out on them the last couple times they'd performed in London!

Such a fun show and I got very biased wrecked by Mark with his blonde hair. 🥴

In November, I saw 'BETWEEN FRIENDS' for the second time with my sister who is a big fan of them also. I didn't know much about them when I saw them in Dec '23, but I could actually sing-a-long at this one.

I unfortunately got stuck behind a very tall person, so I didn't see much. 😅

The day after Foo Fighters, I went for a very different genre of music and saw Troye Sivan for the first time!

The show was really good and I had a lot of fun. I mainly attended as my sister is a big fan of his and didn't want to go alone. But been as I enjoyed his latest album, I joined her.

- untimely passing of Taylor Hawkins. When they announced the new tour and I got special presale access due to previously having tickets, I was SO excited.

The show was utterly amazing and I cried throughout most of it, mainly from happiness and being overwhelmed that I was seeing them live.

Also in June, I attended a show which I had truly waited a lifetime for. I saw the Foo Fighters for the first time ever with my family!

I was raised on their music, but could never afford to see them until I got tickets in 2021/2022 for the tour which unfortunately got cancelled due to the -

This next one is slightly strange, but I went on a hen party Butlin's weekender in June, so I saw 80's band 'Go West' perform live which was a little surreal, but also a cool experience.

Spent the whole weekend drunk, dressed up and partying to 80's hits.
