What a gig! I'm still buzzing, 2 days on!! I was also a bit sad to not have a few more of the French songs... I was thinking he couldn't do AC with the big sign from the ceiling because of the limitations of the venue? But was sad not to have seen it (the sign and the song) anyway!! 

I'm still collecting my thoughts on the gig itself. A big highlight for me was Mika jumping in the crowd riiiight in front of me for BGYAB. Had seen this happen from afar at so many gigs so it made my evening to finally be in the thick of it!! Although the awful, shaky video I took has me screaming the lyrics in the background, so that's fun 😂 🤣

Hiya Emily,

 

I don't usually open this apps but just saw your post here so pop in to say hi haha 😁

 

Nice to know u and all here lol 😆 My name is Mei, from Hong Kong and moved to the UK since 2019. Now living in Reading Town Centre with my partner David. Please feel free to ask me anything about Asia or Asian if u would like to know more about it.In additional, if u got times, come to Reading  for visiting us lol ☺️

 

For me, I love dogs 🐕 more than cats 🐈 while my partner is always a bit opposite to me but that alright and I sometimes would like to do the volunteer works for helping others even sometimes I also need helps too haha 🤣

 

I have been a MIKA fans since 19 turn 20 and now I just turned 36 last month lol 😂 Have been joined his gig in my hometown for few times,in Daegu,Korea for once and also in London for few times but this year its a bit hard for me to make it but hopefully in the future I can join u and have the chance to get knowing more of his fans and making friends too!🙏

 

Wish u all have a very productive 2024 and see u!🤭

 

Mei

 

 

Aww thank you so much for your lovely message! Fab to meet you I loved Hong Kong when I visited many moons ago! I'm returning to Asia this November with a trip to Japan - I'm so excited, have wanted to go for decades!!

I will forgive you for liking dogs more than cats  to be honest, I love dogs almost as much as I love cats...cats just suit our lifestyle more at the moment! I hope to one day have a dog (as well as multiple cats )

Hi @EmRay and welcome to the MFC I know what's that. I've spent 13 hours queuing to be in front of the stage. But it was worth it 

 

Take a look at this thread and enjoy the forum!

 

 

13 hours is hardcore!!! But what an experience. One day I'll get to the front

Hello @EmRay and welcome to the MFC! 

I'm happy you were able to rediscover the music of Mika in these years! 

Oh...your partner has waited with you 9 hours for a gig! 

I think your partner will also soon be drawn into the world of Mika! 

Being able to share own interests with someone is always beautiful! 

I hope you will have fun in MFC and...see you around! 

Hehehe we both love to travel so we are trying to line up Mika gigs with places we've been talking about visiting for years! (Berlin in a few weeks!) As long as he can get a beer or two at the venue, my partner is happy 

Hi all!

I've been lurking and occasionally posting over the last few months, and just realised I haven't actually introduced myself 

My name's Emily, I'm in my 30s and live with my partner just outside London. I work full time as a writer at a charity and am very much into travel, orange cats and reading!

I was really into Mika's music when I was a teen and then sort of drifted out of the loop as I went off to uni and had a few big life changes. Over the last few years I've fully been embracing the music of my youth(!!) and rediscovering the songs and artists I used to love!! 

After realising I'd missed out on a huge back catalogue of Mika's music, I've been fully kicking myself - I've thrown myself into multiple gigs (s/o to my partner for travelling to Madrid last year for BRAVA and standing in the crowd for 9 hours to get a good spot ). 

Looking forward to chatting with you all and seeing you at upcoming shows!!

What an amazing evening 😍😍😍 I was upstairs, 2nd row, so my photos amd videos won't be as close-up as people on the ground...but loved every single second of it!! (Apart from finding out someone's drink had spilt all over my signed photobook at the end of the night BOO 😔😔)

I'm so flipping excited for this 😍 the countdown is on!!

Hi all! I have 2 spare seated tickets for the Bordeaux gig on 1st March. CATEGORY 1, 110 - RANK 12 - PLACE 118 and 119. Please PM if interested!

Silly me got a bit overexcited and thought I was getting tickets for Lille  French was never my forte at school...

That sounds good! I was mostly thinking about how they manage people standing or dancing at their seats, whether they're relaxed about it or if they're immediately in your face yelling at you to sit down. 

Oh good question. Sadly I didn't see a single person get up to dance (yes, this made me v sad but it was a violinist we saw which might have explained everyone's reluctance to get up!)

Great! What was security's attitude like during the gig? 

Good, I don't remember any problems! All good getting in, with a quick bag check. It's all seated in the balcony, but there's a little walkway between the first few rows and the rest of the rows. Security/venue hosts moved people along now and again if they were standing up in the walkway too long. Did you have any particular concerns? 

Went to the Eventim Apollo last week for another gig and it got me super excited for seeing Mika there in April! It's a bigger venue than I remembered, but great views from the balcony 

Super excited for this gig, and it's the perfect excuse I needed to return to one of my favourite cities!
