Wake Me Up When He Returns

Avicii is a showman,and as soon as he entered the stage,the lights came on,colourful streamers were released,sparkling confetti landed on our faces and the lasers hit the spot. As the crowd chanted his name,he dropped Nicky Romero’s I could be the one,and a sense of infectious energy ran through the crowd. He is the smart kid,who knows what gets people grooving and he doesn’t disappoint with his choice of remixes. Expect commercial. So he remixed Rihanna’s Diamonds in the sky,Ashley Wallbridge’s Crush,The Temper Trap’s Sweet disposition and Swedish House Mafia’s anthem Don’t you worry child. Our favourite moment was when he played his version of Coldplay’s Atlas. His USP is being able to bring all genres under one set list,from the bluesy Hey brother to the country sound of his most famous track Wake me up. Did we mention he also played Levels — that ultimate party number?

Euphoric is how one can truly describe the vibe on Sunday night. It would have stayed like that,had it not been for Percept India’s — the organisers — lack of organisational skills. The venue was too small to accommodate 15,000 people and could have been better managed had they sold fewer tickets. Not to mention,the over-priced food and drinks.
