A wide variety of fans gathered together at the General Motors Centre on April 8th to rock along and get loud with the Lynch siblings, Ross, Riker, Rocky, Rydel and the fifth member Ellington Ratliff. The concert was the 6th show in the Canadian leg of R5’s 2014 Louder World Tour and they did not disappoint.
The band kicked off their Oshawa show with “Fallin’ for You” and performed various songs from their debut studio album including, “Cali Girls”, “I Want U Bad”, “Ain’t No Way We’re Goin’ Home” and their album titled track, “Loud.” Each song was played with inarguable skill and passion, with Ross Lynch stealing the show. The band rocked out on stage, seemingly tireless and maintained an amusing banter on-stage between songs creating an enjoyable show for everyone.
I thought R5 put on a phenomenal show and they showcased their musical talent and ability. The crowd was excited and relished every note, making the experience a memorable one for me. With high energy and the crowd singing along to every song, I enjoyed the concert immensely and would recommend going to an R5 concert the next time they are in tow.
