FROM THE FRONT ROW
// Post Malone // Beerbongs and Bentleys Tour // The O2 Arena London // 13-03-19 //
Squeezing myself onto the end of a full row of seats at London’s famous O2 arena, I was about to see Post Malone for the second time in less than a year. Entering the stage to ‘Broken Whiskey Glass’ and screams from the sold out venue, the intensity was strong. The staging for Posty’s set was so unique - The runway style stage with smoke and lighting coming over the musician’s head was aesthetically pleasing and the colours and vibes were well matched to each of his record-breaking tracks.
Post performed 20 songs from both his Stoney and Beerbongs and Bentleys albums, as well as newer releases ‘Wow’ and ‘Sunflower’. I loved the setlist and how well each song continued onto the next, however I feel that ‘Up There’ isn’t the best song to see live and would have preferred ‘92 Explorer’.
Posty is well known for his merch line, which is both colourful and creative and it was great to see so many in the crowd repping his products, which were on sale in high volumes all over the venue. Post is also a man who likes to show off his fashion, wearing a different custom made outfit for each show whilst he sings, raps, plays the guitar and eventually smashes it. The entire evening was amazing and one I will be telling everyone about for the coming months!
