Last Friday I visited a concert of Milky Chance at the Powerstation in Grafton. It was my first visit of this venue and I have to say that I absolutely love it! It is not too small but not to big either, so wherever you are you see the stage really well. You could be going crazy among “younger” population in front of the stage, or enjoy the views from the balcony above. The two bars are of a good size and there was never really a queue to get a drink. The sound was great and so was the atmosphere. I am really looking forward to visit the Powerstation again and by the look of it, they have some really good events lined up!
However, I was disappointed by one thing. After the concert finished, I felt pretty hyped up and ready to party further. Instead of bringing on a DJ and slightly changing the lightshow so that everyone in the room could get “crazy” they pretty much kicked us out. Why would you do that when you have a venue full of people not really frothing over an idea of going to bed just yet? To me, this seems as a lost opportunity.
