Reading Fest :D

I know i have been AWOL for a couple of weeks, and I'm sorry about that but i have been pretty busy, i was in France and then i was home for a few days and then i went off to reading festival from Thursday until Sunday night. It was the most amazing experience of my life, i loved every single second of it. The actually festival started on Friday but we (my parents, brother and i) drove over on the Thursday so that we could pitch our tent and not spend all day in a queue on Friday. After having to turn around when we were halfway there because we forgot the sleeping bags, we managed to get to the car park at around half 2 and then we had to pull on our wellies, get our wristbands and walk to our campsite. There are many different campsites, all organised in colours, we had already decided to stay in white because though it is the furthest away from the arena, it is the quietest and it made it possible for us to get at least a little sleep. I would definitely recommend the white campsite, it was a half hour walk through the other campsites or a 20 minute boat ride, but i am not too tired as i managed to sleep every night!

Anyway, so we got into a routine, wake up around 9, breakfast then head over to the arena around 12. The headliners were on around 10pm and Friday was definitely my favorite day, with 30 seconds to mars on before the headliners, My Chemical Romance. Two of my favorite bands, the performances were amazing, really mind blowing and i wish i could relive it over and over again, I'm writing this with my MCR albums on repeat :).

Saturday was Pulp and the Strokes which were really good, we didn't stay until the end because we had spent all day at the arena and so were tierd, so we went back to the tent and slept. Sunday i got to see Panic! at the Disco, another of my favorite bands, Ed Sheeran and Elbow, then the headliners were the legendary Muse! They had the most amazing light show, i loved watching it, but unfortunately they didn't choose their set list very wisely, they played a lot of songs from one album, most of which people didn't really know, and then after an hour they started playing the classics like super massive black hole etc. We couldn't stay till the end either, because we had already decided that we were going to go before we got stuck in the queue going home, we got home pretty quickly and i fell straight asleep.

That's pretty much all i have to say about reading fest, if you are thinking about going then i definitively recommend it, check out the line up when they put it up and if you like it, book the tickets! I hope you enjoyed this post, i should be doing a few more OOTD before i go back to school (next Wednesday) and after that i will hopefully do one of two a week. Thanks for reading
