Review // Dot 2 Dot Festival Manchester

As I mentioned in a previous post, I spent this years Jubilee Weekend also covering Dot2Dot Festival in Manchester. The line-up was SO rad, with getting to catch Pond and Wavves being ultimate treats (HELLO, have you even realised what this blog is named after? Educate yourselves!). Inbetween acts, we spent our time sneaking drinks into venues, trying (and failing) to find any piercing places open and after everything had finished, we bumped into Jay Watson from Tame Impala (who also plays in Pond, duh) and shared some weed whilst he told us how much he missed his girlfriend back in Australia and enquired when our non-existent band were off to his homeland, HA! I had the best weekend I've had in a long long time and now currently don't know what to do with myself, I'm literally typing this from my bed clutching a pack of M&M's onto my third cup of coffee chasing up contacts and writing emails, IT'S OK THOUGH GUYS, cos I'll be in the same room as A$AP tomorrow! If you wanna read how ace all the D2D  bands were (except for Cloud Nothings, they were totally overrated), you can check it here! Well and truly, what bank holidays were made for...

Freedom Spark Playlist // May

Wow, May has been a long one, has it not?! I'm SOoOo excited to go home for Summer so that I can do nothing 24/7 and when I do move it will only be to attend a stupendous amount of festivals; I imagine you are all feeling the same! This past week, I've been to Wakefield for a Jarman reunion (IS THIS ALL I DO?! AM I A STALKER?! Responses on a postcard please.) with one of my fave bros in the whole wide world (shout-out to JD for supplying us with drinks/ tees) whilst gaining as many shifts as possible in Fac. Oh, what you didn't know I worked at Fac251?! SHAME ON YOU! Last night, I got paid to watch Peter Hook & The Light perform Still in FULL and it was beautiful, so beautiful that I almost vommed whilst working on bottle bar, but that is another story... Also, I'm excited to be working at both Long Division and  Dot 2 Dot Festival again, this years line-ups includes the likes of Bondax, The Men, Peace and Shinies who are also, totally coincidentally, on my new Freedom Spark playlist for this month which y'all can enjoy  HERE (it was 50% revision/ 50% partying, so, like, embrace it). Regardless, I hope you have all been doing fabulous at exams- SENDING YOU ALL MAJOR GOOD LUCK VIBES X
