Ghost’s image is what strikes my attention, for their costumes give their shows an indifferent and mysterious feel, thus grabbing the interest of the audience.

The strong stage props and raising floor gave this concert a sense of adrenaline, and adventure.

Artist: Blink-182, A Day To Remember, All Time Low, DJ Spider
Venue: Molson Amphitheatre
City: Toronto
Date: August 21

What’s important about this concert is that fans both new and old left the venue with a smile on their face, and the fact that the show was opened by DJ Spider, who greatly differs from the world of pop-punk granted the show with diversity.

The energy that emanated from the crowd clearly equaled the enjoyment of the band members. With their constant crowd interactions they were able to put on an exciting performance and a great show.
