We got up at cracker dawn, stopped by the store to pick up food, drinks and ice and arrived at the festival site at 10am. We were welcomed by a 3h line to get in. The security checked every single bag (almost) in every single car to make sure no glass or sharp objects were brought in – awesome! Good thing to know we are safe at the festival though.
We made it in, pitched our tent, and off we go!
Started off mellow with Youth Lagoon – last time I saw him was in a tiny record store in Echo Park.
The snail liked him!
Only a few hours into day one and my feet are already super dirty! Doesn’t hurt that I always need 5000 layers of sunblock on my feet that seems to attract dirt.
We saw Johnny Marr which was really good, he played a bunch of old Smiths songs, and that’s always welcome!
An Elvis hybrid was there!
The classic festival ground photo… I probably wanted to take a photo of something else.
Lee Scratch Perry was most likely very high, such a character!
Stone Roses played all their hits, but were still fairly bad. I always think it’s hilarious to watch the sign language person by the side of the stage though, always entertaining!
