You Me At Six: support Lower than Atlantis, Deaf Havana

Starting of the show is pop-punk band “Lower than Atlantis” and judging from the reaction of the crowd, people weren't just there for You Me At Six. The band interacted with the crowd proving to be a brilliant warm up for You Me At Six. The crowd goes nuts when they end their set with their crowd pleaser “Deadliest Catch”, which receives the first mosh pit of the night.

Next up “Friends Like These” band Deaf Havana slow the show down a pace with their likes of their acoustic, more emotional songs “Nicotine and Alcohol Saved My Life” and “You Are Beautiful” from their 2010 album “Meet Me Half Way at Least”. The crowd seem totally connected with the band, singing the chorus loud. It is clear to see that there is a positive, excitable atmosphere at this gig.

Of course the main prospect of the night for the majority of the people at the gig was to see You Me At Six, which is shown when Josh Franceshi comes on stage. The crowd screams and from then onwards, there doesn't seem to be a quieter moment. They played the obvious releases from their “Take Of Your Colours” and “Hold Me Down” albums, however there is equally the same amount of excitement for the tracks of their newly released album “Sinners Never Sleep” which currently in the charts. Josh Franceshi doesn't keep quiet about this and shouts: “The Guardian Published the other day that rock music is dead,” there is a sudden chorus of “boo’s” in the audience, “Our new album reached the top 10 in the charts this week, that and you all here tonight proves them wrong!”

The energy and excitement does not die down by the end of the gig, if anything the crowd seem more energized, they go mental after Josh Franceshi orders everyone to go crazy and crowd surf despite the signs saying no crowd surfing allowed. “This is your last chance to do whatever it is you want to do, if you want to crowd surf, crowd surf, if you want to jump up and down and go crazy jump up and down, and if you want to sing at the top of your lungs, sing at the top of your lungs!” said Josh Franceshi. The gig ends on a massive high note with their popular single “Underdog”. The fans seem to sing more than the band in this track, there is a chorus of screaming girls and guys.
