Big Day Out 2014

Olla amigos, I trust that everyone is having a splendid day! Yesterday I went to Big Day Out at the Gold Coast, this being my first music festival! If you are unsure of what Big Day Out is it is a music festival that tours all around Australia with different musicians from all over the world. This year there was an awesome line up including, Big Gigantic, Loon Lake, Violent Soho, Pearl Jam, Arcade Fire and many more! I went with my friends Issy, Ashley and Samantha and arrived there at 10 am. We lined up for a little bit then it was time to go in!

The first people we saw was All The Colours which where really good and no one was there which was a great because we got the bar. Nearing the end of their proformace behind us started filling up as Violent Soho was about to start. They where so amazing and im so glad that we where right at the very front for them! After that we went and got something to eat while listening to Portugal the Man preform. After that i caught up with Oce and Steph and we went to The Naked and famous and also Big Gigantic for awhile until I had to leave to see Tame Impala. Samantha and I made it to the bar on the side and danced for while but left earlier before they finished so I could see the last few songs of the 1975. We then raced to save a place In Grouplove. We managed to make it about three, four rows to the front. After Grouplove's proformace we went and found a seat for Pearl Jam. By this time it was 4:30 and we sat in the stadium and watched the Hives and Beady Eye. Ashley and Issy joined us and we went and grabbed a bit to eat. After finishing our salads and making friends, Issy and I went into the mosh for Arcade fire. Then it was time for Pearl Jam. While there proformace was going on we left Sam to enjoy and we went and caught the last half of Flume and then Snoop Dog, aka Snoop Lion. After finding Sam again and watching the end of Pearl Jam we headed to the last forty five minutes of Major Lazer.  All up it was such an awesome day with good energy, even though my legs feel as though they have been snapped off; I would do it all again tomorrow ! Bring on Big Day Out 2015! I made another little 'follow me around video' of the day which you can watch by clicking HERE ---- !  its not the best quality because its just all been filmed on my IPhone and also im jumping around in a mosh pit for most of it! Post Again soon, 

Take care,
