Last Friday saw my sister Charlotte and I attending All Time Low's "One Night with All Time Low" at SSE Wembley Stadium.

This was my first time seeing a full proper set (previously I had seen them do a festival set at Reading in 2010), I had always wanted to see them live, but fate always got in the way.

Being a lot older now (with the golden era of pop punk far behind me) my sister and I opted for seated tickets. Our seats were pretty decent as we had a clear view of the stage, although nothing beats being up close and personal at the front with the band. It was amazing seeing so many younger fans singing along to all the songs (even to songs that were released 10 years ago!), we even saw a grandma in our section who had taken her granddaughter to the gig! (I hope to be as cool as her one day).

All Time Low opened up with 'Love Like War' which is off their 'Don't Panic' album and one of my favs from that album. From there we went down memory lane with 'Lost in Stereo' and ' Six Feet Under the Stars'. After playing their hit song 'Weightless' from 'Nothing Personal' we at the back were treated to an acoustic set from Mr Alex Gaskarth when he appeared on a makeshift stage by the sound booth. Here he serenaded us with one of my favourites 'Remembering Sunday' and we were even treated to Cassadee Pope coming out and doing a duet with him. He finished the acoustic set with 'Therapy' which is another fav of mine before going back on stage and playing their new single 'Kids in the Dark' (if you're a fan of ATL and haven't heard this song, I recommend you check it out) from there they played 'Guts' from their album 'Dirty Work' (and another fav of mine). Their song 'Outline' saw lead singer of You Me at Six Josh Franceshi come out and sing with the band (I was super gutted they announced their co-headline tour with each other after we had bought these tickets as You Me at Six is another band I want to see live). After playing 'Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)' and 'Forget About It' (Which has to be my fav song from Dirty Work), they picked fans from the audience (of course they were all from the front row) to come up on stage during 'Time-Bomb'. We were treated to a mix of people, some coming all the way from Germany and Italy and one who came dressed up as a Hotdog (I can only imagine the bucketload of sweat he must have.. sweated haha). From there they played their first single off their new album 'Something's Gotta Give' (again check it out if you're an ATL fan) before leaving the stage as all bands do, to then reappear for their encore.

I briefly got excited at the prospect of possibly hearing 'Coffee Shop Soundtrack' but alas they decided to grace our ears with ' Jasey Rae' instead before finishing off the night with the first ever song I ever listened to (from All Time Low) 'Dear Maria, Count Me In'.

Slightly disappointed I didn't get to hear 'Popping Champagne' but we can't always get we want. Overall the night was fun, I thoroughly enjoyed the walk down All Time Low memory lane (even if I felt a tad old not jumping around and singing along to all the words like the young Sophie would have). Defo glad I can finally cross All Time Low off my music bucket list.

This gig was also filmed for their next DVD so if you were unfortunate enough not to attend because you weren't in the country, live abroad or just didn't go, you have the chance to experience this night from the comfort of your own home!

Their new album 'Future Hearts' is out April 2nd!
