As everyone's hyped about the festival line ups and concerts (oh yes Ed Sheeran's concert) for this year. I thought I'd share my amazingggg V-fest experience back in 2015 with my one in a million amazing angel of a best friend.
First day at V-fest 2015
V-fest oh my where to start! what a fun experience I'll never ever forget I mean ever! One of the best memories I'll treasure forever and ever! Seriously though if you haven't already been to a festival what are you playing at? you should totally go, I guarantee you'll have one of the best moments in your life honestly. The start of every year is exciting with all the line ups announced making us crave the summer months even more. I mean come on summer has got to be by far the best of any season out of them all.
Anyway I'll get back to my festival experience. Well... 2015 (wow seems like decades ago now) the summer I left sixth form looking forward to those festival vibes with my wonderful best friend. We had been soooo excited since the start of the year when we brought our tickets for V-fest in Chelmsford (Essex). Both of us always wanted to go to a festival...well to be honest there are many places we would love to explore together, who wouldn't want to travel the world with their best friend? But that's another blog post I'll save for another rainy day.
Getting ready for the festival
A few days prior to the festival I was planning the festival outfits I'd wear hoping it wasn't going to chuck it down with typical British summer rain, we're very lucky if we have more than one hot day in August. Don't forget those sun glasses! (lets hope the sun stays out) It wasn't just the outfits I had to also make sure that I had plenty of money at the ready for the unhealthy food and drink (alcoholic drinks of course) that I would consume over the next few days. If you ever go you'll feel like you're being well and truly ripped off (cheers Jerry for making those shocking prices!) I mean five pound for a small portion of cheesy chips with only a small handful of actual chips you get, come on what a rip off that was. Yes you might have guessed its an expensive weekend! I'm not even going to lie, out all things there we spent money on a load of sweets between us plus some alcohol, cheesy chips oh and hot chocolate..well why not? Talk about spending money wisely... haha! But who cares it's a festival you'll just eat junk food anyway or you'll spend it drinking alcohol the whole weekend.
Last day at V-fest 2015
Getting through the festival gates
It's the very first day you wake up buzzing with excitement you just want to get through those gates. Oh but you do have to queue (sigh) if only there were no queues or having to be checked at the gates. Yet you thought you could get away without paying a fortune on drinks by bringing your own bottle of vodka etc. You'll either have to drink it or bin it, what a damn pain that is! At least me and my friend didn't queue for very long...what a relief that was. I mean who really wants to queue for ages on a very hot day waiting to get into a festival?
Once you're actually past those festival gates
Yes finally you're in the festival...lets go get those festival vibes.
Choosing the artists you want too see, choose wisely it at least takes five to ten minutes (depending on how fast you walk to get to the next stage)
First day...yessss!!
The first day was a blast. The sun was shining it was a hot day and the festival vibes had got to both me and my friend. The day started off with Marina and the Diamonds then The Kooks, George Ezra, Ella Henderson, Ellie Goulding, The Script etc.The night ended a blast too when the headlining act Kasabian came on we both started singing to the top of our voices not giving a damn to how bad we sounded, danced (more like jumping around with our hands in the air like we just don't care) You can tell we didn't want that night to end. Both of us must have only had a few hours sleep both nights, but we still had adrenaline to jump around. What a night that was! Can I just re-live that moment please?
Last day...nooo!!
Second day no not the last! Nobody wants to go face reality after a blast of a weekend. You know what?... I spoke to soon the second day it started to rain, yep typical weather us brits have. But it didn't stop us both from enjoying our very last day. On a positive note it was only a small shower that passed then it had finally brightened up, time to get those sun glasses out again. We started off listening to a bit of Jazzzz by Gregory Porter what a great singer he was. We ended the night by listening to Paloma Faith. What another blast of a day that was. Why did that have to end? I'm so excited to go to many more in the future, who wouldn't be?
Love,
