Our Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! Concert Experience



As you know, last night, my family and I had the pleasure of attending the Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! event in Bristow, VA. Let me just say...it was spectacular! The weather was hot and we were sweating up a storm from all of the dancing but we had an amazing time. This experience will definitely be a cherished life-long memory for me.

When we first arrived at the pavilion, we secured our tickets and made our way to the front gate. We had to make a pit stop at a blue fountain that had mesmerized Nate. He wouldn't even look away for a photo.



The courteous staff helped us find our seats (which were super, by the way) and we killed time by donning our DJ Lance glasses, grabbing some bottled water and scoping out the venue.



I wasn't sure how Nate would react, as this was his very first concert and well, he can be a temperamental toddler. But he did great! He was a little restless in his seat at first but once he spotted the Yo Gabba Gabba decor, he grew so excited for the show to start.



The moment they started playing the Yo Gabba Gabba! theme song, the audience roared. DJ Lance came out first, saying his magic words to bring the rest of the gang to life. They got us all off our feet to sing and dance along.



For the Super Music Friends Show segment, we were introduced to an indie-rock band called Steel Train. I had never heard of them before but they were great! Nate was jumping and dancing all around, getting his sillies out. I'll definitely have to check out some of their albums.



Nate loves balloons so we were excited to hear the song,"Balloons Make Me Happy". Nate was clapping his hands as Brobee floated up in the air. At the end of the song, they released balloons from the rafters for all of us in the audience! All three of us were able to snag a balloon buddy.




After a short intermission, the gang came back out with a bang. Muno and Foofa came down our row and shook our hands! I had never seen Nate grin so big. I wish I could have taken a better picture but this one was taken just after we met Foofa.



We were then treated to an extra-special "Peanut Butter Stomp" Dancey-Dance with special guest Do It (who was featured on the Season 1 "Dance" episode) and Biz Markie came out for his ultra-cool "Beat of the Day" segment. He even invited several preschoolers up on stage to mimic his beat, which was the cutest thing.



We were having so much fun and didn't want our time to end but inevitably, we had to say goodbye. But not before our friends concluded with everyone's favorite "Party in My Tummy" song.



We had such a blast! Nate even cried as we left the pavilion because he wanted to stay and party. If you're a Yo Gabba Gabba! fan, you will undoubtedly adore this show. It is entertaining and just pure fun!

Yo Gabba Gabba! Live!: There's A Party In My City! CLOSED


Thank you to S2BN Entertainment, Wildbrain Entertainment, and Michelle Sisco P.R. for participating in the Bloggy Birthday Blowout Event on Goodie Goodie Gumdrops!

My son's favorite show in the whole wide world is Yo Gabba Gabba. And who am I kidding...I must confess that I love it too! The music is great. The dancing is fun. The lessons are valuable. And the colorful characters are all so lovable. It's the one children's show that I never get tired of.

And I'm thrilled to announce that DJ Lance is bringing his boombox our way!

Fresh off their sold-out tour debut and making an acclaimed appearance at Coachella music festival, the Yo Gabba Gabba gang is heading out on a smash 60-city tour across North America. DJ Lance Rock and Friends will be making stops at all the top theaters, arenas and amphitheaters starting August 27 in Bethel, NY and ending December 12 in Dallas, TX. The state-of-the-art production features the music, singing, dancing and animation we've all come to know and love. A true interactive experience, the show offers audience members of all ages the opportunity to witness their favorite characters come to life. Joining the characters on stage will be hip-hop legend Biz Markie for his "Biz's Beat of the Day" segment. Super-secret special guests in each city will also join the party on stage for the Super Music Friends Show and Dancey Dance segments.
