The Wanted themselves were good however 2.5 hours of support acts and a gap between the last one and The Wanted coming on was tedious.
This is the first time I have had seats to the side of a show at the O2 - don't do it!! The lights were directly in our eyes so we couldn't see and one of the support acts were invisible as they were placed to one side of the stage under the lights directly shining at us.

A 'technical hitch' meant that the whole show was delayed. Spent 1 hour outside the arena before being able to get inside, by which time the support acts had already started.
Ideally the support acts should have been booted out or cut down considerably as The Wanted came on an hour late, which meant that they finished late & screwed up taxis & lifts home at the end.
Not a good night!
I didnt pay to see the support acts, I paid to see The Wanted but ended up seeing very little of them

Waited a stupid amount of time for The Wanted to come on, and before that we had a support band who effectively whined their way through their 15 minute set. When the Wanted finally came on, they only played for 45 minutes (which after the ridiculous wait and paying £25 a ticket) was pretty pathetic and unless you were at the front, you couldn't really hear them that well. Definitely wouldn't go to see them again.

After waiting for what seemed forever on the support act, a very second rate girl band (Fanfare) came on a cat wallered 4 or 5 songs to warm up the crowd for the main attraction. Not wanting to end their 15 minutes, they came out to sign autographs, probably took longer than their actual set, but much less painful!
Then the wanted came on. The boys themselves did well, apart from Max's mic not working for a lot of his performance. However, they came on at 8.30pm and left the stage 45 minutes later... £25 a ticket? I took along my niece and step daughter, so that was £75 just to stand for 3 hours waiting to see a 45 minute show.

Wanted fan? Maybe. Buy a ticket to see them again? Never

I was very disappointed. Unless you were directly in front of the stage near the front you could hardly hear any of the concert. Whoever was mixing the sound should be sacked as they did not do there job, was there a problem? What we did hear was good and for young fans who have never been to a concert before and have nothing to compare it with it was a good start.

My wife and daughter had been looking forward to this for ages; me less so, as boy bands are not really my thing.

However, I was left pleasantly surprised - the boys can actually sing, and, unbeknown to me - 3 of them can actually play as well ! I discovered the latter talent during the 10 minute Coldplay medley section, which was the best bit of the show for me.

The biggest disappointment was the fact that the show only lasted an hour and a quarter - given that 10 minutes of the show was given over to someone else's music, and then at least 15 minutes in total spent engaging the crowd between songs, you're only left with 50 minutes worth of singing. Hardly value for money !!

This show was fairly enjoyable, especially when they played their singles. Each member of the group proved they have a decent singing voice and most can also play instruments too, proving they aren't just in the band for their looks. The show had a battle theme with each section of the show being a level. It was a good idea but I felt like there was a lot of filler and the aim was to put on a show that fulfilled the bare minimum. I also didn't like that they performed 3 Coldplay songs. I appreciate that after 2 albums they may not have enough songs to fill an arena show but I was there to see The Wanted not a Coldplay tribute act, they could have picked 3 different artists to cover or done a short medley.

Having said that, I still enjoyed myself and probably would recommend the show but would hope for a bit more next time.

The boys were great and we had a good time. They used the stage well and Nathan was especially brilliant.
the only thing that spoiled it ws the lighting- 8 spots zig zagged across the stage and when the guys were on 5 different places on the stage they were difficult to see. Nathan at the back on piano was completely hidden. what a shame. still we did have a laugh and would go again.

From the out set we knew The Wanted aren't dancers, but they tried their best. For me there was a few too many songs off the album, and these were all slower songs. We found ourselves sat down a lot of the time, whereas we were hoping it would be an 'on your feet the entire time' kind of concert, like JLS and Take That.
It was also a little awkward when Tom shouted "Come on Manchester!" When the concert was in Sheffield...

Overall it was a good concert, but they didn't put on a show like we thought they would, and there was a few too many songs off the albums that haven't been released. And I thought 3 Coldplay covers in a row was a bit much!

This was an ok concert, not the best and not the worse I've seen, 4 support artists were too many and it began to drag on. The boys sang and performed well but a lot of unknown stuff and the 3 covers of Coldplay left me cold gone to see The Wanted not Coldplay.

Wanted themselves were good they put on a good performance that we really enjoyed the problem was us and everybody sat around us and everyone we've spoke to who went to either manchester or Sheffield were bored to tears by the time the wanted actually started. 4 warm up acts was absolutely ridiculous and to make it even worse the acts weren't even that good by the time it came to the guy who came on last nobody even cared that he was on stage because we'd all just had enough!!!!
