About this time a year ago, my sister (age 18) came home exhausted, ecstatic and a bit tipsy (understatement of the yearrr) to tell me all about the wonders of Wireless Festivals. i endured many hours of both her, my brother and all their friends describing the inexplicable marvel of the whole two day show. Theres the line up (last year was DAFT PUNK, Jay Z, Mark Ronson, COOL KIDS, hot chip, morissey, DEADMAU5, fatboy slim, counting crows etc...), the people (the odd drunk, the many a stoners, and everywhere you looked were hot guys) and the energy which apparently was enough to get crowds jumping for hours on end, for four days straight. It goes without saying, i was fuming with envy. This time though, i got to go, well i made sure of it. There are no words, i could try to describe it but it would be too long and boring. Basically, it seriously lived up to its expectations. To check out the line up for this year and any other info go to http://www.wirelessfestival.co.uk/lineup/index.aspx and i recommend EVERYONE buying their tickets for next year as soon as they are available....wait actually after looking at the website, i don't. pink and the ting tings are headlining....hmm disappointmentttt!!! but to finish off the high praising, here is a bit of evidence to back me up.
Before KANYE came on, there was a crazy buzz of pure ecstatic energy around oh, 30000 people jumping up and down after Q-TIP and bottles began to fly. at first we laughed a bit, crazy ass brits we said, but then it became SERIOUSLY crazy. thousands of plastic beer bottles (and even a wellington) were flying over your head and we got SOAKED. painful, grimy and horrible at the time became a really hilarious memory that we will point to the bruises and laugh about the 'good ole days'. Here is a video a friend took during the bottle wars. watch it muted though since the sound is fuzzy
