I had just put on my wrist band for the show and was stiffly waiting in line to enter the basketball stadium where I was going to see Flume perform. At the measly age of 14 it was the first concert I had been to on my own. As I stood in line a million things were going through my head: Will the people around me be nice? What if something bad happens to me? Why on earth am I here? I was quivering in my shoes, but I had to push through those feelings of anxiety and regret because I wanted to see Flume so badly.

The smoke machines puffed their smoke which gave the area an eerie feeling like i was in a dark forest surrounded by tall dark trees. Flash! Flume walked out onto the stage and up onto his podium.

For the first half of his set, the screen behind him featured geometric patterns and particle explosions; it was like the universe was being dismantled and then put back together.
When Flume spoke it was like he was speaking directly to me. I felt euphoric, completely happy and no longer anxious or afraid. The music made me feel like i was invincible and could do anything. The people around me were now my friends and we were a big community sharing this life changing experience.
I realised as i was leaving i had the best night of my life. If you dont take chances you could be missing out on something spectacular. I’ve been to many concerts since then and have never felt afraid again.
The concert was a very personal experience, completely different to listening to it on Spotify,
