I've never really been to a proper festival. As an avid music enthusiast, I know I should be a little bit ashamed...but spending three consecutive days in a tent being very wet and very cold (we are talking UK weather here) is just not very appealing to me. That's why this year, I thought I'd have a little bit of a taster and attend Field Day Festival, which takes place in East London's Victoria Park. With acts like SBTRKT, Django Django, Grimes and the fantastic Metronomy headlining, Field Day was the perfect first time-festivalgoer experience. A fantastic atmosphere, boozing from noon onwards and a plethora of  young, talented acts is definitely a recipe for a memorable day. 


We were extremely lucky with the weather; by the time we got there (3pm), the sun had come out,  and it was, for the large part, a very pleasant day with no rain (!). Metronomy were fantastic, although I was a bit disappointed they didn't play a bigger set. Either way, I think I am ready to take it up a notch and attend a more large-scale festival next year. Coachella is the dream... gotta make it happen!


I obviously had a major "what-to-wear" dilemma, and in an ideal world, I would've settled for denim cut off shorts and a tee, but I knew that the weather was unreliable so I thought jeans and a parka would be a safer bet. I also didn't risk bringing my SLR because I am all too aware of a musical crowd's tendency to throw half-drunken bottles of beer at each other.. Definitely a wise decision on my behalf.
