Concerts are always very fun, however, it is rare that I get to go to a concert that is as exciting as DNCE's concert in Baltimore that I went to recently. It was so high energy and fast paced that there was not a single boring moment, not even during their slow songs.
I've been a fan of Joe Jonas for years. I was such a big fan of the Jonas Brothers that it is almost embarrassing. I had hundreds of posters, knew every song, and had to have tickets to every tour. So, it was almost obvious that once Joe announced the creation of his new band, DNCE, I would become a fan. However, I didn't know just how big of a fan I would be.
Every single song on their debut album, "DNCE," is catchy. There's not a single boring song and I can honestly say that I get excited anytime any of the songs come up on shuffle when I am listening to music. So, when the band announced headlining tour I knew that I needed to go. Unfortunately, there was not a show in New York, so my friend and I decided that we would travel three hours to my hometown, Baltimore, and see them there.
We didn't want to stand in line all day as it was below freezing outside, so we got in line at 5:30, as doors would be opening at 7:00 p.m. Time went by quickly since I was with a few friends having fun in line. The only trouble was the cold, but we were inside soon enough. We were lucky enough to be in the second row.
The opening act, The Skins, a band from Brooklyn, took the stage and captured everyone's attention with their catchy lyrics and exciting beat. Their music made me want to dance, and that is always something that I look for in a band. Their set lasted about a half hour and by the time they were done I was jumping with excitement for DNCE to get on the stage.
At about 9:00 p.m. the band walked onto the stage in Star Wars masks to the Star Wars theme song. They did a routine with light sabers and when they were finished they immediately went into their first song, "Naked." As the set went on, the band played every single song from their debut album. With their props on stage, their strobe lights, and high energy, the crowd was having a lot of fun and the energy in the room was through the roof.
During their song, "Pay My Rent," confetti cannons were set off blasting fake money through the crowd with the band member's faces on them. The audience was rushing to collect every member. When the band played their hit song "Cake By The Ocean," the guitarist, Cole, jumped into the crowd and the band took their final bows, ending a very exciting and fun concert.
Overall, I would definitely rush to see DNCE again and I would recommend that everyone takes the chance to see them live. When you buy tickets to their concert, you're in for an exciting high energy night.
