I may very well still be in the recovery stage of this festival; body
aches, sleeping for at least 14 hours at a time, and black dust STILL coming
out of my nose (please, STAHP), but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to tell
everyone all about my incredible weekend. As much as I’d have loved to VLOG the
weekend, there’s literally no way I’d be taking my camera, so we’ve just got
these few snaps and your imaginations to work with.
Reading festival 2016 was beyond amazing. The tickets were my 21st
birthday present from my mum in Australia, and she even threw in a hotel just
to make the weekend that much more special. Also, praise Jesus for plumbing and
a mattress every night! We stayed at The Crown at Playhatch, a beeeaaauuutiful
16th century inn with incredible views and a top notch breakfast
menu. We were also lucky enough to get sunny days (bar one very rainy, very
windy hour on the Sunday afternoon), so the shades and the factor 50 were
swiftly whipped out.
The lineup was phenomenal! Chris is very into his heavy, evil, satan
worshipping music, so there was always going to be plenty for him to see. Some
of his favourites were Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Crossfaith, Deaf
Havana and Twenty One Pilots. The thing I love about Reading, though, is that
there’s something there for everyone. Someone with an eclectic a music taste as
mine aaaalways has an amazing artist to see. My favourites were A$AP Rocky, The
1975 (yes, I saw them, I wept throughout), Die Antwoord, Boy Better Know,
Hacktivist, Shikari Soundsystem (front row baby) and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, of
course.
I spent far too much, and I’m still suffering beyond words, but I’m
already saving for next year and I’m still trying to wrap my head around the unbelievably
fantastic time I had with my partner in crime Chris. Did any of you guys go to
Reading or Leeds this year?
Lots of love,
