Fri 20 Jun – Rise Against, Antillectual
Fuck yeah, what an A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. concert of Rise Against 2 days ago in Groningen!
It was my first Rise Against concert and I couldn't hope for a better show!
In March I told my Mum that Rise Against are coming to the Hurricane Festival, and that I really wanna go there for one day. I was hoping until May that they would have tickets for just one day, but they didn't because it was almost sold out. So I had to ask my brother if he would like to come with me to the Netherlands to see Rise Against live. Haha, and he said yes!!!
So our journey could begin :)
It was about 12 o'clock when we left home to drive to Groningen. This should be a looong journey, it took almost 4 hours to arrive there.
I told my brother "Come on, let's see if we find the tourbus of Rise, I wanna meet them." Okay, so we went to the backdoor of that huge building, but there was no tourbus. "Not good, we should go back to the entrance hall", I said and we left the backdoor.
We were watching on the street if any bicycles are coming...and of course, there were some bicycle driver.
I took a look at them and I noticed that the bicycle drivers were RISE AGAINST! Omg, what a shock! *lol*
I was like...almost screaming and I said Hi to them. They were so nice, they dropped off their bicycles and shaked our hands.
After that I asked for a photograph and here it is:
Well, at 7pm was entrance and we got into the tiny hall.
Yeah, we were standing in the first row again! And there were no barriers so we were as close as possible to the stage! :)
I don't know the time yet, when the first band started their show. They were okay, but for me nothing special.
Then after a while the second band Antillectual started their show. Woah, they really freaked out on stage and it was fun to see the others moshing to their music! But still, they're not even as cool as Rise Against are.
We were waiting until 10:15, when Rise Against entered the stage. That was so exciting!
They started with
Drones , followed by Give It All where really EVERYONE in the hall was dancing, moshing, screaming and stuff. Fuck yeah, what an awesome start for a concert.
I never had so much fun at a concert, but well, it is Rise Against... who are playing with so much power & passion. Woohoo! And I really didn't think that we could be so close to the band, especially to Tim who was totally rocking the house. He hold the microphone very often to the fans, we all were screaming and yeah, I never felt so fucking great :D *lol*
They were performing about 70 minutes I think, the playlist was just amazing and I couldn't hope for better songs. But there was one song missing:
Swing Life Away !!!
Maybe they play it at their next concert, Tim said that they will come back in 6 months when their new album is out.
I'm sure that this wasn't my last Rise Against concert. :)

1.Drones
2.Give It All
3.State of the Union

5.Injection
6.Like the Angel
