I think that’s 3 of us from Bandaids at the Friday show now! Fingers crossed for the surprise songs Struggling with what to do on Friday. We’re staying about 30 mins drive from the arena but I’m not sure what time we’ll need to get there to get a parking space? Seems like there’s thousands of parking spaces but I want to be sure we have one haha. The internet tells me Gelsenkirchen is a bit shit so I don’t want to get there too early and have time to waste cos it seems there’s absolutely nothing to do there 😅😅

The only interesting thing about Gelsenkirchen is the Football Club if that's interesting for you. It's a old and traditional club with worker's history. The other interstate thing to see might be the former Bergbau-area (miners? You know the people who work under the earth to bring some stuff up, very old prestigious job that made areas very rich but became pretty obsolete and left the region with lots of jobless people). But tbh Gelsenkirchen is known to be kinda shitty. But other big and interesting cities are not that far if you want to spend some time at the area.
I guess I would travel to the stadium with bus/tram as it seems easier than by car.

How deep does Taylor dive to find suitable songs for a city? I am thinking she might play Seven as a surprise song in Hamburg cause it mentions pirates and I guess the pirate Störtebecker might be something that comes up when you google Hamburg Seven would be absolutely amazing to hear.

I think we might go in first thing Friday morning to grab merch then go elsewhere for the day and come back a bit later on haha

Then she'd have to play "Mine" in Gelsenkirchen. You know, the double meaning XD
Or, since it's the last concert on Friday, "it's time to go" because there's really nothing to see there

Went into the city centre to the additional merch this evening (grabbed the blue sweater and the quarter zip grey one - the grey especially is sooo nice!!). The Taylor Town area is cute! They’ve got her music playing and food/cocktail stands, little stalls selling Taylor themed clothes and books and jewelry and bits like that. Worth a little look if anyone is bored tomorrow before the show.
But yeah, Gelsenkirchen on the whole is pretty grim lol! I’m so excited for tomorrow night 🥰

The show was so good!!! It’s just so fun to be a part of it! I had to pee around 22:30 so I did that and visit the merch shop where no one was! Bought a shirt and bracelet, it’s so cute with all the colors in the stones of each era! I didn’t even missed much of the show because there weren’t lines at the toilets and merch then!
Unfortunately after the show we stood 2,5 hours completely still in the parking lot… couldn’t go anywhere so I was back home at 4am…. Like omg.. I haven’t slept much since it’s hot here in The Netherlands. I think I’ve slept 2, 3 hours.. I can’t handle being up for so long well… but I was the driver. Gladly it all went well. But awesome I’ve seen Taylor in 2018 in Wembley Stadium in London and now in Gelsenkirchen! 2 great shows!
