Isle of Wight Festival!

Yesterday on the 17th June, I came back from the Isle Of Wight feeling completely disgusting, smelly, tired and emotional about having to come back to reality! Reality bites when you love to escape. I am back now, I have bathed, showered, scrubbed every inch of body to get rid of four days of grime that has been building up. I have also gone back to reality and have done a full days work. I never wanted to cry so bad, when I woke up at six by my alarm!
This weekend will be another memory to me, another great adventurous memory. A memory that will remind me, that I still held back in social moments, but also step forwards in social moments and have spoken to strangers about drunken times and most importantly about music! Meeting Ryan, who I have been talking to over a year. Great guy. Been inspired about fashion festival clothing, being a bit more girlie in festival dressing. Inspired to hold my head up high and be the most positive person I wish to be. Okay, I also read an article in Cosmopolitan that also helped me with that 'positive attitude' mumble jumble. But it is another step to releasing this person that has been trapped in my head for years because of fear. She wants to break out now.

  
The bands I've watched live are bands, I have enjoyed for some time now. I saw:
Friday-

• Palma Violets
• Jake Bugg
• Emeli Sandé
• Ellie Goulding
• The Stone Roses
• Rizzle Kicks

I have never heard of Palma Violets before. I thought they were really good, fit my genre of music beautifully. Not too heavy nor to poppy. A perfect blend of Indie-Rock really. Jake Bugg, your typical moody British teenager, but still really good. Emeli Sandé is an inspiration and so is her music. Her song 'Read All About It' is something that helps me speak my mind. Ellie Goulding, I didn't see very much nor could I hear her very well. Slightly disappointed about that. The Stone Roses, was fantastic! Loved them and they played my favourite song, 'I wanna be Adored'. The perfect way to end the first night of festival music, was with a bit of Rizzle Kicks and 'Let's Get Down With The Trumpets'. Cheesy dancing was involved!

 
Saturday-

• Lawson
• Little Mix
• Bastille
• Ben Howard
• BLOC PARTY
• The Killers

It was the main reason why I came to the Isle Of Wight festival, to watch Bloc Party live! Then to learn that Little Mix and Bastille was playing there as well was like I struck gold at the end of the rainbow. Little Mix are my guilty pleasure along with admiring the One Direction boys and their voices.....
Lawson, I know I have heard on the radio many times, but I was still unsure if I liked them or not., would And it is safe to say, I enjoyed them! I am gutted to learn that a song I thought was sung by The Wanted was actually a Lawson song. Don't ask me which song it was, I don't know what it is called, or how it goes. Little Mix amazed me on stage with their skilled dancing and singing, well done for sketching the band out as well with being late. Great part is meeting a dedicated Little Mix guy fan. He seem to have a girl crush on ALL OF THEM. But he seemed cool!
BLOC PARTY was amazing, and I would love to see them live again! Or even shake their hands! It was a shame to see that the drummer wasn't there and I hope he is well! But they still took the stage by storm and was outstanding to watch. I just wish I could relive that hour again and again. By the time The Killers came on to play, I was so cold that even dancing to the music just to warm up became unbearable! But they was still great!

 
Sunday-

• Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel 
• Kodaline
• Imagine Dragons
• Young Gun
• Bon Jovi
• Blondie

Christina wanted to see Steve Harley, I'm pretty sure she really enjoyed him as well! Kodaline, I never heard of them before, even if they was on the radio. Radio 1, you can be useful at times?! But I fell in love. I really enjoyed them and an album purchase will be happening seeing as I learned they released it yesterday!
Imagine Dragons was amazing, they wowed the crowd with their talented musician skills of a variety texture of sounds and experimental bass. Young Guns supported the pre-teen mosh pits, but they still have my fan girl-ling moments, with their great songs and energy upon the stage. Bon Jovi and Blondie are just a great way to end a festival! Fireworks and classic songs.

This weekend has been amazing and unforgettable. I made a great new friend within Ryan. I met some interesting people and it has filled me with more hope to meet and befriends more interesting people. It also given me more hope to continue with my life and to stop wearing my emotions on my sleeve.
Makes me come to this quote, written by J.K.Rowling, voiced by character Severus Snape. " Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeve, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves be provoked so easily- weak people in other words- they stand no chance against his powers!"
