I love festivals, I love seeing bands play live in an open environment. See, I don't like going to concerts because, I hate the big arenas and so many people being crowded into one place. I don't mind smaller gigs, but festivals I love. A friend and I can just hang out to the side, where we are close enough to see the bands live, but not so crowded where we are squashed.
I would have loved to say that this year Festival was so much better than the last one I went to, and in so many ways it was loads better than the last one. For instance the toilets was a huge improvement this year and the security surrounding the bars had improved so much, that I didn't see a lot of teens passed out before the best acts came on. However, as it is suppose to be called the Greatest Rock Festival in England, there wasn't a lot of Rock bands.
Being two people who love the genre of Rock music, we found ourselves at one point just wondering aimlessly as we literally couldn't stand the drum and base that most DJ's was playing. I know I am asking too much, and people prefer those type of music nowadays to people playing actual instruments. And how Festival now have to cater for every persons, and what is most popular to bring in the money. I just couldn't help to have felt bored at some times. I did bring a book with me, so I wasn't that bored. So if you readers did go to Reading and saw a girl sat in NME tent most of the time at the back reading, it was probably me.
I will say that Metallica killed it on Saturday night and I have listened to some new bands which I immediately enjoyed.
A few of them being Wolf Alice, Spector, Circa Waves and Kendrick Lamar. I recently brought Wolf Alice CD.
