Top 5 Concerts I Want to See This Summer

Hi everyone!

I love going to concerts, and I'll see just about anybody. Seriously. Last summer, I was offered free tickets to Pink Floyd, who I didn't know a whole lot about, but I went anyways. I was kind of scarred (there were these freaky blow-up puppets), but we sat five rows back, and I had a blast! So naturally, I can't wait for the summer concerts to start up in Atlanta! I have always preferred outdoor shows to indoor ones, but I'll take what I can get. I love going down to Lakewood with all my friends, people-watching before the show, and then late-night gossiping about all the drama that happened...but I promise I go for the music too! Here are the top five shows I can't wait to see this summer in Atlanta!

The Killers: August 15, Verizon Wireless Amphitheater

 First, I am absolutely dying to see The Killers! I've been waiting for them to come to Atlanta since I was thirteen, and this is the first time they're coming in a long, long time! I know all the words to most of their songs, and I can play a few on the piano. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to negotiate with my parents on this one, because they're performing on the third night of school, and for some reason they think I need to be there...

 Keith Urban: July 27, Verizon Wireless Amphitheater

This will be my third time seeing Keith Urban, and every time I've seen him before, he's been absolutely amazing! I adore his Aussie accent, and he is such a good guitar player! I dragged Cooper, who hates country music, one year, and even though he won't admit it, he had a good time. 

 Luke Bryan: July 14, Aaron's Amphitheater at Lakewood

I saw Luke Bryan when he opened for, who else, Keith Urban, and he was so much fun! Besides the fact that he is undeniably attractive and puts on a good show, Lakewood is one of my favorite venues, so I am really excited to see this one!

 Kenny Chesney: August 3, Georgia Dome

I have never seen Kenny Chesney, but without fail, I end up playing his songs all summer. They're so beachy-fun, they just make me want to have a good time! I missed him last summer with Tim McGraw because I was at the beach, but I will not miss him again!

Cute is What We Aim For: June 14, The Masquerade

The final band I want to see is a little embarassing. I may be the oldest one there, but I can't wait to see Cute is What We Aim For! I was supposed to go with a friend freshman year, but their show ended up being the first night of exams, so my parents definitely put a stop to that. Still, I always feel the need to sing along to "The Curse of Curves" when it comes on in the car, so I feel like I have to go!

There are so many other fun concerts I can't wait to see! Although, I'm not sure they'll live up to the best one I've ever been to: Childish Gambino. I gave someone tickets for his birthday two years ago, and when we went, Donald Glover (his real name) was so funny and genuine, and he was so good at getting the crowd into his performance. It also didn't hurt that we were only three feet back from the stage at the Tabernacle!
