LOWLANDS

GUYZ! I HAVE HAD THE BEST WEEKEND OF THIS YEAR! LOWLANDS! OMG IT WAS PERFECT! JUST PERFECT!
We had to wait 2 hours for a freaking bus, 4 hours for the lowlands-bracelets (which are fucking ugly btw) and it rained a lot on our first day, but the next three days made up for that.
I can't really explain why i feel so good @ Lowlands, it just makes me feel at home. The music, the atmosphere, the people, just everything is good!
My favourites this weekend were: Crystal Castles, Fleet Foxes, Skrillex, Omar Souleyman and Emalkay.

So.. Crystal Castles. Sat there an hour before they began, but hey! At least we stood in the middle, at the fence, which is completely at the front. They started 15 minutes too late and ended 5 minutes too early, but their show is so great! Creepy, intimidating, dark. Perfect. I even touched Alice Glass' hand!

Then Fleet Foxes. Again, sat there an hour before they begain and again stood at the fence. They were very modest. When they came on stage, everyone clapped and they couldn't believe the reaction of the people was so good. I don't know why this is, because their music is beautiful. And live is even better! Goosebumps throughout the whole show.

Skrillex. YES OH MY GOD! This is what you can hear in one of his songs and this explains my thoughts about the show completely. That was the biggest party i had ever seen, fucking hell. Everyone was covered in sweat from head to toe. My shirt was wet, just soaking wet. I love Skrillex, he brings so much energy on stage and people pick it up and go crazy.

Omar Souleyman. I went there as a joke, but it turned out to be amazing! He is from Syria and gets to play on a lot of weddings and parties there. When i saw he was coming to Lowlands, i thought: WHAT THE HELL? Then i listened to the music and thought: why not check it out just for fun? Well it was fun, a lot of fun! The whole x-ray was loaded and everyone had a blast!

And last but not least, Emalkay. One of my favourite dubstep producers and the last artist to play in the x-ray. I thought this was going to be amazing and i was right! I love his music and it was so good live.
