| Vampire Weekend |
Hi there !
I just got back from Rock Werchter (A Belgian music festival and one of the biggest in Europe) and thought it would be nice to share my experience with you. So here I am !
So on Thursday morning we headed down to Werchter and set up our tents. We had the most amazing spot because it was only a 5 minute walk from the festival ground to our tent and we set it up underneath some trees so we had a lot of shade.
We saw a lot of amazing bands and every day had at least one highlight for me :)
On Thursday we saw Vampire Weekend, The National, Bloc Party, Green Day, Sigur Rós and Netsky. My absolute highlight of that day and probably of the whole festival was Sigur Rós. It is one of my favourite bands and I have been wanting to see them for a while and they didn't fail to please. I was crying actual tears of joy, it was that good.

On Friday we saw Two Door Cinema Club, The Lumineers, The Script, Phoenix, Kings of Leon and Ben Howard. Even though the Script blew my mind, because I didn't think I would love their performance that much, the highlight of my day was definitely Ben Howard. Once again Ben Howard is one of my favourite artists and I was so happy that I was finally able to see him perform. We didn't manage to get in front but we just chilled in the back and it was so good !

| James Blake |
On Saturday we saw SX, Disclosure, Rudimental, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, James Blake and Goose.
I am a huge Disclosure fan and so I wanted to be in front at that concert no matter what, lucky me the concert before them SX was amazing and so I was almost completely in front during their performance. Saturday was such a hot day and we were soaked in sweat after Disclosure's performance, haha :p The other highlight of my day was James Blake, we were seated in front of the big screen and we just chilled during the concert, it was perfect !
Sunday was a very hot and busy day, plus we were so sad that this was already our last day :( We saw Youth Lagoon, Bastille, Tom Odell, Alt-J, Band of Horses, Of Monsters and Men, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Depeche Mode, Modestep and Editors. ALT-J was definitely my highlight, the atmosphere during the performance was crazy, people were singing along, chilling, dancing, ... Just perfect ! Plus this is great festival music.
We had an amazing four days, nothing went wrong, we have seen amazing performances, we had a great time, the camping went smoothly and the weather was perfect. I honestly didn't think that I would like it that much, but I even liked the camping (and I'm not a camping-person at all) Werchter is almost a separate universe during the festival, for four days thousands of people head down there to enjoy some music and share the love for it, how beautiful is that?
