Best Kept Secret Festival: Day 3
 |
| Sigur Ros' thrilling performance on stage ONE |
I decided to go to the festival around 2 P.M., because I really wanted to see Temples and Everything Everything perform, but unfortunately, we weren't allowed to enter without an adult this time, and we had to go home... (On the second day, we were allowed to enter without an adult looking after us, but we had to report ourselves every two hours. We thought the organization would allow us on the terrain one more time, but unfortunately they didn't.)
We waited for a few hours, and arranged something with a friend and his lovely parents.
We could finally enter!
We hurried to stage ONE, to see the Palma Violets, and again, we were in the front row!
I really liked the performance, but I was quite sad, because I wasn't able to make good photographs; the band was, like, running around the whole time, and my camera wasn't that quick...
But in the end, two of the band members came up to the front row, and went crowd surfing! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch one of them, nor the drumsticks and the pick.
I started taking photographs again, and suddenly, one of the members sat right in front of me, looked into the lens, and winked!
And it gets better; I got that right on my photograph!
I just felt like a Beatle-fangirl; screaming and jumping and being all happy and excited, haha!
After the gig, I went to the music store to buy myself some records. I got the Arctic Monkeys' Humbug, and Kurt Vile's Smoke Ring For My Halo (I'm going to write new reviews about these albums soon!).
And Kurt Vile was exactly the person I´d see next....
...and (how surprising) I was in the front row again!
I had already listened to a few tracks of his new album, and I really liked them. But to see Kurt Vile and the Violators live, was an even bigger thrill.
I especially liked the quiet and dreamy songs, like Runner Ups.
(And of course I also really loved his hair, but yeah, who doesn't?)
I was just so amazed by these performances I almost forgot to eat.
Because I don't really like spending a lot of money, I chose french fries again.
After having walked around for an hour or something, we went to stage ONE again.
The field (it had rained quite a lot, so you could almost call it a swamp) was getting crowded, because Sigur Ros would be performing there within 30 minutes.
I had never really listened to Sigur Ros before, because I thought their music was quite boring.
But the performance really changed my mind!
Honestly, I was almost as thrilled as I was at the Coldplay concert earlier this year.
They had an amazing light show, and I think their music's really original; listening to it made me really happy, but also a bit sad because the festival had come to an end.
I really loved the songs "Hoppípolla", "Isjaki" and "Kveikur".
I really don't think it's a shame they sung Icelandic; I really like the fact that you can't get distracted by the lyrics, so that you have to come up with a personal meaning and feeling yourself.
But what an end; this was just the perfect last act.
Time to say goodbye...
I'd really love to thank some people for these great days;
At first I'd like to thank my parents for paying the tickets, and driving me and my friends to the festival.
I'd like to thank Karin, Jan and my grandfather for driving me there, too.
But I also want to say thanks to my friend Seppe and his lovely parents, for helping us enter on Saturday and Sunday!
And of course I'd like to thank my great friends Vera, Seppe, Linde and my cousin Niki for the fun and the great weekend!
(My photographs will be uploaded tomorrow)
