Last night Andy and I got out our passports and ventured out of the city to join 23,000 others for the Mumford and Sons concert. No, we didn’t really need our passports, but it feels like it sometimes when I’m not one to venture out of the city much!
Harlow had a slumber party with her BFF JoJo, and she was probably just as excited for that as I was for the concert! I grabbed our favorite takeout and quickly made my way over to pick Andy up from work, so that we could avoid rush hour traffic sit in traffic for hours on our way to Niagara Pavilion. Thankfully my neighbor wrote out a few back ways of avoiding some of the worst spots, and I had googled enough to learn that VIP parking was a must.
We finished our dinner in a shady spot outside the gate, serenaded by this gem that my older sister sent me as a “have fun tonight!” gift. Brace yourself.
We arrived a little early, paid way too much money for a bottle of water and found our seats. We enjoyed Bear’s Den—although after listening to their EP on Spotify, I like them much better live–and then found a few friends to avoid sitting through all of the Vaccines. I don’t know, it just felt like they were trying too hard.
Well, and then Mumford started playing.
It was ridiculous and as amazing as you’ve heard it to be.

Have you seen them in concert? Any other concerts that you feel are on a “must see” list? They are totally on my list!
Happy Friday!
xo.
I’ve seen them on SNL and I really liked their performance. I find their music nice, but if I try listening to a whole album it feels like a downer. I dunno what it is. I’m glad you enjoyed the concert, though. One of the best ones I’ve been to was Coldplay back in 2009 when they were touring Viva La Vida. It was the one concert I was able to sing along with because I actually knew the songs and it was the most memorable.
I definitely see what you mean about the album – did you watch the YouTube video? Hopefully that makes you laugh!!
I saw the Coldplay tour before Viva la Vida – that concert was INCREDIBLE toO!!!
Oh my goodness!! That did make me laugh, which I really really needed right now :)
I can’t wait to see them on the Gentlemen of the Road tour next month. I HATE crowds, but I’m braving them to see M&Sons. I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes.
PS – I can’t say this enough – you and your man are the CUTEST.
