On the weekend I went to my first festival!
I know right? But the thought of camping I don’t mind, but I just have trouble
with justifying with the travel & ticket prices. However day festivals I’m
ok with.
I was lucky enough to get a ticket to the
Hackney weekend, when I asked my friend who also had tickets I asked her which
day, she said Saturday…. Crap I had Sunday ticket, such a shame that Radio1
tickets you don’t have a +1 but oh well
I managed to find a friend to go with luckily,
I’m fine with flying solo, but it’s more fun with company.
We didn’t get to the Hackney Marsh until
1.30pm and it only took us 40min to get in, better than some people who took
3hours to go through.
Saw so many bands and listened to quite a
bit of Dub Step, which isn’t usually a choice I would go for, but I had a good
time dancing and bouncing away to Skream & Benga
Santagold was entertaining, wish we stayed a bit longer to watch but wanted to see other acts, Shame when we
were watching Plan B perform it started to pour for 10min, luckily I had my
umbrella and jacket! Florence and the Machine I thing would have been good if
we stood around a decent spot of the stage, the music from the sound systems
let me down, which was a shame.
Azzelia Banks sent the Tent jumping with
her final song “212” good tune!! Just Banging!!
Jessie J was really entertaining to watch a very good performer too! What made it better was the sun finally came out and there were very little clouds in the sky ^.^
Couldn’t believe we saw 14 different acts,
I was exhausted at the end of the night and thighs were killing as we only sat
down and rested for 10mins during Lana Del Rey. However Dizzee Rascal who was
the special guest, perked us up with his tunes especially “fix up look” sharp
& “Bonkers”
Finale was Rhianna, which was good and
entertaining, was awesome that Jay Z showed up as well and did three songs with
her, but not sure how much lip-syncing she did. All I can say was I loved her
eye make up and she has some very toned thighs!!
Radio 1 Big Weekend festivals are
definitely a great musical adventure and so cheap for so many acts!!
