Tokio Hotel touring through Latin America!
The German band Tokio Hotel began their tour through Latin America on November 24, with an expected concert in Brazil. But also visited Perú, Chile, and México. Yes! We had them reaaaaally close! In this note, we tell you so many things that happened with the band that is, sweeping with everything!
Brazil
-There were rumors that the attendance to the Brazil concert had been poor: only 5000 fans. The thing is, the capacity for the venue where the guys were performing was set for that number of people. No room for even a needle!
-The band was surprised with the response on behalf of the Brazilian fans, who sang in almost perfect German each one of the songs that the guys performed. Bill, surprised said: "This is incredible. It's really incredible, we didn't expect this. Thank you".
-Hundreds of girls cried throughout the entire concert (literally) from the emotion.
-The concert ended with "Forever Now" and lasted one hour and a half.
Perú
-"Screams", "Euphoria" and "fans fainting". These are the words that were mostly repeated on Peruvian press to summarize Tokio Hotel's concert, at the Jockey Club in Lima.
-More than 8500 people were there, in their majority, girls.
-The (look) was more so futuristic.
-The amount of fans fainting grabbed a lot of attention. The girls, super emotional, would faint and the emergency crew had to assist some few dozen fans.
-The show's special effects, pyrotechnics, and balls of fire were a highlight throughout the concert.
-Bill had a lot of costume changes.
-The Tokiomania was installed all around the Jorge Chávez airport, in spite of the long hour waits by the unconditional fans, they were not able to see their German stars up close since strong security was enforced, which quickly transferred the members of the band after arriving close to 11 at night.
-Either way, the official fan club in Perú (with more than 10 thousand members) wanted to make them a gift. What was it? Four chullos (traditional beanies/hats), a pair of charangos (traditional guitar-like instruments), a quena (woodwind instrument), and a cajón peruano(drum-like instrument in shape of box).
Chile
-9000 people filled the Movistar Arena del Parque O'Higgins, where Tokio Hotel offered their concert in Chile.
-The majority of the public were teens not older than 15.
-Before the performance, the German quartet, made time for social activities, donating a library and a music classroom to a Chilean educational complex (school).
México
-Even though the idea was to begin in Monterrey (northern Mexico), Tokio Hotel canceled that concert due to the insecurity in the city, generated by the fight between two drug trafficking cartels that has resulted in hundreds of deaths this year.
-"Due to security concerns, it will not be possible to procede with our show in Monterrey. We are profoundly sorry for this and wish for everyone's sake that this security situation gets better as soon as possible", indicated the German band via their web-page.
-The band led by Bill Kaulitz is not the first to make this decision when it comes to Monterrey: some months ago, the American trio the Jonas Brothers did the same.
-It was a shame, because the guys were going to perform in a venue (Arena Monterrey) with the capacity for 17,600 people. And according to reports from Mexican press, the majority of the tickets had been sold!
-The concert was carried out, finally, in Mexico City, at the Palacio de los Deportes. The euphoria from the fans of the German band caused them to stop playing for about 20 minutes since people were crushing one another, and there were more than two dozen unconscious girls.
-That was when the quartet was performing the song "World Behind My Wall". The security personnel had to throw water to the fans that were closer to the stage.
-"Mexico City! Hola!, yesterday we went to the pyramids and it was incredible, our guide told us that he felt that this would be our best show Ever", expressed Bill Kaulitz, which provoked collective hysteria.
-One day prior to the concert, hundreds of Tokio Hotel fans camped outside the Palacio de los Deportes, aiming to hold a good spot at the show.
