This weekend is the Radio 1’s Big Weekend, which for those who don’t know what it is, this is a free festival-type weekend organised by Radio 1. This year was in Maidstone, Kent – I registered for tickets but with 500,000 people trying to get 30,000 tickets as well, I didn’t have a chance and promptly a few weeks ago I got the email to say I didn’t get any. Oh well, but I have been listening to Radio 1 for most of the today and had a quick look at the website – looks like it has been amazing weekend. Obviously the weather has helped – there is nothing like listening to live music when the sun is shining. Not that I would know this as I’ve never been to a festival!! Well, that is all about to change as I have tickets for the V Festival in August. It’s quite ironic that I’m going V (Virgin) as a virgin festival goer.
I always watch Glastonbury on the TV every year and would quite like to go but the only thing that has put me off is the toilet and shower situation – argh, porter-loos. Luckily, V is in Chelmsford so we can travel there without having to stay in a tent. If V goes well, you never know I might try Glastonbury next year but maybe hire a campervan instead of camping. We are planning on holding a Glastonbury party this year – listening to the music being played lived, drinking, eating and wearing wellies, what more could one ask for. Maybe the sun shining but the past few years it has rained a lot over the Glastonbury weekend. At least the wellies would come in handy…
