READING PART THREE

On day three of the festival, the morning was a face-painting fandango. By this time the smell of the campsite toilets was creeping to our camp, so to stay & paint was a true sign of dedication. After all, when else is it socially acceptable to do this?

The rest of our morning was spent at the main stage of the arena, where Luke make a heroic transformation, and I spotted some pretty cool boots.


Later on, Abby, Luke & Paul bought drinks from the slush hut & they came in these oddly shaped 'bottles'. I had a little taste & blue was the best flavour, although I have no idea what flavour that actually was...

Music-wise, Sunday was one of the days I was most excited about, so as we were waiting for a good spot to see Alex Clare & Haim, Sophia & Viki introduced me to the very dusty dance stage. It was so much fun. If you forget the fact that you can't breathe from all the dust in the air, it's an awesome place to just go crazy dancing seeing as everyone else is too.

Then for Alex Clare & Haim. Okay so the crowds were apparently not as into these people as I was, but nevertheless I loved them. Especially Alex Clare... and Haim, aaah I loved them both! No but really I think Alex Clare was one of the best when it comes to music.


Followed by Disclosure! We weren't even standing in the tent, but the atmosphere at the screen was perfect. Everyone was dancing/moving to a sort of rhythm/climbing up the tent/ doing gymnastics, and it was an incredible atmosphere.

In the evening, nearly everyone went to see the headliner, Biffy Clyro, but Paul & myself set off to see Spector (highly recommended by my sister), via the food stalls for my last trip to the veggie van! I bought an irresistible Burrito, mmmmm.


SPECTOR WERE AWESOME.
Literally my favourite of the whole weekend. They worked the crowd really well, everyone was up & dancing and the music was soooo good.



We even managed to catch the end of Biffy Clyro's set from afar before heading back to camp for our last evening with the group.


On the Monday, we all packed up & witnessed our neighbour's burning their tent (true Reading experience eh?) before leaving for home, with beds & flushing toilets, bliss.

Not being one for band tee's, this was my little memento for the festival.
I definitely want to go to another festival next year.
READING WAS AWESOME.


Listening toooo: 'F For You' by Disclosure, 'Better Off' by Haim, 'Hands Are Clever' and 'Up All Night' by Alex clare & 'Friday Night, Don't Ever Let It End' by Spector
