I was so excited and had such high expectations for this show but it was unfortunately the worst concert I have ever been to 😭 I left with bruises on my thighs from the arm rests… I sat in misery the whole time. The venue also had the tightest, most uncomfortable seating. I’ve seen Nelly before and I know he is an AMAZING performer but we ended up leaving once he started singing because what was the point of staying? - we couldn’t understand or see him. We sat it out and thought maybe something (more so sound) would be fixed (maybe it was a mess up and they would catch it) but it was a complete waste of time.

There were also only 3 small tv screens in use on the stage, none of the upper screens so it was very difficult to see the show unless you were front and center. If I did not know any of the songs, I would have never understood what was going on, and even when I did know the songs, it was still so hard to understand. Everything went through those small speakers, as loud as possible, and the echo was HORRIBLE, you couldn’t understand ANYTHING, not even the artists simply speaking instead of singing/rapping. The stage had the sound system/speakers set up but only facing forward and did not use any of the venue’s upper sound system/speakers. I am not sure if it was the decision of the venue or the show but it was the absolute worst concert I have ever been to simply because of the sound setup.
