On 7 February 2015, Winter Jam Came to the Georgia Dome.
Winter Jam is a Christian Concert and basically you pay ten dollars last the door to see ten bands play. the bands that we saw were for King & Country, Building 429, Jeremy Camp, Skillet, Family Force 5, Francesca Battistelli, Newsong, About a Mile, Blanca and Veridia.
This was my first ever Winter Jam concert and I was really excited to be able to attend in 2015.
I've seen most of these artists in concert before but It was nice to see them again live. I know I have seen Building 429, Family Force 5, Francesca Battistelli, Jeremy Camp, &
for King & Country.
Because it was at the Georgia Dome, the food there was expensive. Just to get a bag of cotton candy was five dollars and a bottle of water was four dollars. It was ridiculous but it was a great way for the Georgia Dome to make some money and boy did they sure did. I felt like we were at a sports game because concessions people were walking around trying to sell food to the consumers. Although I understand that these people need to make money, screaming popcorn while someone is praying on stage is quite rude and when Francesca was singing "Holy Spirit", when we took a moment to breathe, all we could hear was concessions people trying to sell things. It was quite an experience.
The only complaint that I had was that meeting the artists turned into a mob because the only allowed for us to meet them at the end of the entire show; not the end of when they played. It was really poor planning on their part but security was only allowing Luke from for King & Country (pictured above) to either sign an autograph or take a picture with us.
Well I was holding a Winter Jam shirt and the security lady took it out of my hands for him to sign, I was like no I just want picture. Luke was really sweet and kind to us and it was really neat to talk to him even though, security was pushing us away.
Overall I had a wonderful time and even though I'm not a huge fan of Skillet (partly because I'm not a huge fan of the genre that they play), every band did a wonderful job and I can't wait to go back again.... Hopefully 2016! :)
