On November 22, I attended Niall Horan’s “Flicker Sessions” concert at the SAP Center in San Jose.
The opening act starred Gavin James, who stunned the audience with his trademark voice and talent. Once he’d finished performing, the crowd erupted into a cheer as Niall Horan, the star of the show, strode down the hall with his brown guitar.
Thousands of excited fans flocked to the front to see the star of the show. With the adrenaline palpable and everyone constantly pushing around, Horan waved to the sea of people and flashed his signature smile.
As Horan walked towards the center of the platform, he pulled his guitar towards his chest and inhaled. The room grew quiet with respect, ready for the spectacle that awaited. Horan’s voice was the only thing to be heard throughout the arena, blending in perfect syncopation with his guitar.
When Horan finished his first song, a wave of clamors flooded the area. Girls around me fervently chanted his name out loud until their throats were sore. After an hour, the atmosphere was weary with excitement.
As Horan is one of my idols, it was truly exhilarating to see him in person and performing my favorite songs from “Flicker.” The best part? He gratefully acknowledged his appreciation for his fans, who traveled from all across the world to admire him. I highly recommend attending one of Niall Horan’s concerts–with its amazing atmosphere, it is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime performance.
