Now that it is a new year, I would like to reflect a little bit about 2016 and the great country concerts I went to. This summer I was lucky enough to go to two of my favourite country singers concerts: Keith Urban and Florida Georgia Line. They played at the new arena in Edmonton at Rogers Place. Rogers place officially opened in Edmonton on September 8, 2016. The arena has a capacity of 18 347 for hockey games and 20 734 for concerts. The new arena is awesome for concerts and it is a great addition to Edmonton. The seats are comfortable and access to food and drinks is a lot better than the previous arena.
If you follow me you know how much I love Keith Urban and also how much I love Florida Georgia Line. Some of the songs played at their concerts were:
Florida Georgia Line – Dig Your Roots tour
- This is How We Roll ( concert opener)
- H.O.L.Y
- Anything Goes
- May We All
- Cruise (closer )
Keith Urban – Ripcord tour
- Wasted Time (concert opener)
- John Cougar,Jon Deere, John 3:16
- Break on Me
- Blue Ain’t Your Colour
- The Fighter
The Keith Urban concert was especially memorable to me, as I got to meet him before the concert with Sara. We got to shake his hand chat with him a little bit! I told him that his songs really inspire me, and asked him to start off the show with Wasted Time, AND HE DID!! I am grateful for this opportunity and it will definitely stick with me with me as one of my favourite memories!
Florida Georgia Line was also an awesome time. Although I didn’t get to meet them I got to go with Sara and some other friends and had a blast! I love Florida Georgia Line’s mix of music they have. They are a country band but have a little bit of a mix of country, rock and pop sound to their songs, which keeps their albums interesting and fun.
I look forward to what 2017 brings, and I hope that if I go to any concerts, they are as good as these two awesome shows!
…….maybe one day I can meet Florida Georgia line!! … I can hope!
