Festivals part 2



Hello,

Today is a perfect day for a festival! Still 110 days and than it's time for 'Pukkelpop'.
Like I said, Today is the perfect day for a festival. Not too hot, not too cold, not too windy...
Just perfect!
The thing I hate on a festival is....... warm weather.
I mean, people are sweating, are jumping... Their armpits are touching you. Iiiiiiiiii I just hate it!
But of course, rainy weather also isn't nice.. Can you remember Pukkelpop 2011? I do!
The rain was pouring out of the sky. First, it was nice because everybody was sweating and it was a really hot summer. But after the rain, we got a shower of hail from God. It did really hurt!
We ran to the first tent we could see, but after a little time, the tent couldn't hold the water anymore and he collapsed. We ran for our lives, but somebody couldn't make it and died under that tent...
Enough of this sad story, now it's happy time!! So previous time, I said that I would tell you about the artists that come to Pukkelpop this year. The headliner is Eminem! I'm so happy that I can see him this year. Because in the year of the storm, he came too. But of course, the festival was canceled. So we couln't see that performance. I listen to him, since I was little. Of course, 'The real slim shady' was THE BEST song of Eminem... Nowadays I still listen to him, not as much as in the past but I still like his songs. Also 'Skunk Anansie' is coming to Pukkelpop. The leadsinger, Skin, fell on the stage when they performed in 2011 during the storm. I didn't see their performance back then, but this year I'm sure going.

Xoxo D.

Festivals

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I wrote something here. That's because we had holidays!
I bought two tickets for festivals during the holidays, namely for Pinkpop and Pukkelpop.
I'm looking forward to summer, because of the festivals! Pinkpop is 14-15-16 June and I'm going there with my dad, but only on Sunday because it's during my exams. Luckily, my parents said 'You deserve some relaxation during your exams, so you can go!'
I was really sad when I heard Pinkpop was during that period this year. Last year, I also went to Pinkpop and then it took place in May. That's a lot better.

My dad wants to go to Pinkpop because he wants to see Triggerfinger. Triggerfinger is a Belgian Hardrock band. They made a cover of the song 'I follow rivers'. (Officially the song of Lykke li. )Triggerfinger's cover of the song became a big hit. It was a good cover, but their own songs are also very good!
I also want to go because of Triggerfinger, but I also want to see Trixie Whitley(talked about her in one of my previous blogs) and Die antwoord.
Die antwoord is an African group. Their music sounds very weird and sometimes funny because of the language they use. The most known song of them is 'Enter the ninja'.
The woman(Yolandi) and man(Ninja) of the group also look really strange and a little bit scary, but I like how they have their own style and stage presence. It's always really special.

Next time I'll talk about the groups that come to Pukkelpop!

See you next week!
