Welcome to the second installment of our Ariana live concert events!

Thanks to those who joined us for 'The Listening Sessions' last week. Now, we move on to Ariana's second tour 'The Honeymoon Tour'.

This tour took place from February 25th 2015 to October 25th 2015. It was in support of Ariana's sophomore album 'My Everything'. The attendance between her first and second tour saw an enormous leap - from around 25,000 people to over 800,000! 'The Listening Sessions' was merely a series of a small intimate gigs but now 'The Honeymoon Tour' saw Ariana playing arenas. She was a much bigger name now after scoring several big hits during the 'My Everything' era including 'Problem' and 'Bang Bang', both #1 hits here in the U.K. and top 3 smashes in the U.S. The tour is named after her song 'Honeymoon Avenue' which was an interesting choice, when that is from her first era. Iggy Azalea was heavily rumoured to be a support act for this tour, after featuring on 'Problem', but this was soon proven to be false - instead acts such as Rixton and Cashmere Cat would accompany her.

Join us tonight with a slightly longer show this week - clocking in at around an hour and a half.

To join in, please press play on the following link at 8pm BST:



This thread can be used for commenting along once again! I will be providing a rundown of the set-list too.

Hope to see some of you there later - it was good fun last week

Set-list:

>> 01. Bang Bang <<

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:02 PM

Not as strong an opener as 'Baby I' last week but I'm SO READY

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:03 PM

OMG

She performed Bang Bang

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:04 PM

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:05 PM

It's the full song too. I enjoy BB a lot as a song!

Set-list:

01. Bang Bang
>> 02. Hands On Me <<

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:07 PM

'Bang Bang' actually wasn't half bad in the context of an opening number. Quite explosive so good for getting the crowd hyped straight away.

An underrated bop now *.*

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:10 PM

I'm here now and skipped to 9 mins in. I will probably go back and listen to Bang Bang and the start of Hands On Me after.

Welcome Lewis!

Glad that 'Baby I' made the cut for her second tour as well *.*

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:12 PM

The 'Hands On Me' performance was good. I'm liking that 'Baby I' was chosen for this tour too!

I miss cat ears era Ari

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:14 PM

These strings at the start of 'Best Mistake' looking forward to this - seems like a song that would lend itself to live performances well.

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:15 PM

Best Mistake is pretty underrated in her discography. Loving the full band intro to it.

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:17 PM

Also +1 for cat ears appreciation!

No Big Sean in person again this week then

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:17 PM

The production on this performance

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:17 PM

"You a fool Big Sean" omg

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:18 PM

Poor Sean

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:19 PM

Well, I assume they'd broken up at this point judging by the guy who's recording this, reaction

Posted by: Bré 28th July 2020, 07:19 PM

That guy shouting abuse at Big Sean from the crowd

(hi I am here but probably not posting much again xo)

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:19 PM

'Break Your Heart Right Back' the first song tonight that I have actually heard her perform live at the 'Sweetener' tour! Glad she still does it *.*

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:22 PM

Break Your Heart Right Back really goes off on tour.

I'm still so disappointing I couldn't go to this tour in the end. Obviously I loved the times I have seen her but I listened to My Everything so much, I so wish I could have heard all the tracks live.

Yeah I'm enjoying all of this 'My Everything' material! 'Be My Baby' another great song further heightened by Ariana's live vocals and the string arrangements.

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:28 PM

Her stage presence had already improved so much compared to the show we watched last week.

BYHRB is such a feel good performance

My internet cut out during BMB

So I had to skip to this interlude at 28 mins!

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:29 PM

Agreed *.*

Omg this chandelier staging

Another Big Sean collab, I wonder if the guy recording this has anything to say again

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:30 PM

The entrance *.*

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:31 PM

Argh did her microphone stop working!

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:31 PM

Ok I've never seen this tour outfit either.

Who knew 'Right There' was this popular with the crowd?

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:32 PM

I love it when the crowd do that!

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:33 PM

I know right! Definitely didn't get this enthusiastic a reaction at the Sweetener World Tour

Locals:

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:41 PM

Right There performance was cute!

Idk this song, but it slays! Omg.

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:42 PM

That choreo *.*

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:42 PM

Key change

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:43 PM

It's nice to hear something unexpected even if I'm not that massive on the song.

Very happy that she has brought back 'Tattooed Heart', always a vocal highlight

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:45 PM

Tattooed Heart sounds great even when she's laughing

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:45 PM

I love TH so much

Her vocals <3

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:45 PM

Back-to-back key changes we are not worthy!

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:47 PM

I'm more interested in watching Ariana than Frankie to be honest.

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:49 PM

One Last Time

Always special to hear. It's a shame the audio is not great here.

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:49 PM

'One Last Time' it was cut from the set list by the time of my 'Sweetener World Tour' date so this can be the next best thing

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:51 PM

A Bieber mash-up and now they've released a collab together *.* (this is one of my favourite songs by him so I'm here for this)

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 07:52 PM

I would never have thought to have put these two songs together, but they really do go well together!

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:53 PM

We didn't need WDYM at all.

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:53 PM

Ooh Imogen Heap *.* one of her idols!

Why Try is amazing. Isn't this one of her infamous "hot takes" where she hates it? Lol.

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:56 PM

Smashing the vocals as hoped and I'm liking the background scenery

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 07:56 PM

She's really nailing Why Try vocally

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 07:58 PM

Yeah she said it was her most boring song at the Sweetener sessions a mess!

That spoken part from her grandad how sweet.

Back-to-back emotional ballads! This album was great for those.

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 08:01 PM

My Everything was never a favourite from the album but it does sound really special live.

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 08:01 PM

All that whilst she was sitting on 'REM'

Love Me Harder is a banger

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 08:04 PM

One day, I would love to get performances of 'Break Your Heart Right Back' & 'Love Me Harder' with the respective featured artists in person too.

Oh wow! Wasn't expecting this

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 08:07 PM

I don't think I've listened to Only Love since the day it was released because I hated it on first listen but I'm enjoying this performance.

Break Free was one of the absolute highlights of the sweetener tour for me!

It really pops off live!

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 08:20 PM

Agreed! One of her most anthemic songs so perfect for a concert setting *.*

Problem time

Still one of my most listened to songs of all-time.

And the Problem dress

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 08:25 PM

The song that took her career to new heights *.* liking the homage to the video with the backdrop, choreography and outfit!

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 08:27 PM

No 'Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart' yet she included a bonus track from this era on her latest tour her mind!

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 08:27 PM

Problem goes off live. Although she seems to struggle/run out of breath quickly during it

Posted by: Jonjoliday 28th July 2020, 08:30 PM

Thanks for hosting this, Jade. It's been a blast! Nice to see her in her earlier tour days!

Posted by: Jade 28th July 2020, 08:30 PM

Omg Toulouse at the end of the video *.*

Thanks so much you guys for attending I had a lot of fun once again! I think I'm going to have a breather with these next week, as my birthday is next Tuesday and it's a busy week in general - with my brother's birthday too, plus I think people will be wanting to do BJSC plug.dj sessions for the semis. So... Tuesday 11th August for the 'Dangerous Woman' tour it is, I think! Very excited for songs from that album live

Posted by: LewisGT 28th July 2020, 08:32 PM

Loved that so much. Thanks for hosting again Jade.

Can't wait to relive the the Dangerous Woman tour again as it was honestly one of the best nights of my life.
