What to bring for the festival?

Hello!
This post will be like a tip for the festivals. I will show there things that you should take for the festivals and that might be helpful for you.

SUNGLASSES- The most important thing when it is really hot and sunny!

I really recommend to take two pairs because when it is a lot of people so something can happen with the first pair (you can lost it or it can be destroy). Last year at the Jazz Festival in Copenhagen my glasses were laying on the ground a long time and when found them they were scratched and crooked.

CAP- Next thing when its really hot and your head cannot handle the sunlight.

Moreover, it can help you when your hair will get really bad so then you can just hide them by the cap.

WET WIPES/ANTIBACTERICAL GEL- It really helps when it is hot and you can get some freshness on your skin.

PLASTIC RAINCOAT- It might be also raining instead of great sunshine. 

Anyway, if it will not rain so you should buy and take the plastic raincoat because you never know what will happen. It is a really good thing to not to get wet. Also, take the plastic bag to hide your bag or backpack inside it while it is raining. Moreover, small umbrella can help too but you are allowed only to take this small folding umbrella. 

POWERBANK- I think everyone knows that they need it when you will not be able to charge your phone a long time and you will use it a long time.

However,  it is better two take two or more if your powerbank has 2600 mAh.

That is all from those important thing I think. Let me know if there is something more that you take with you!

Orange Warsaw Festival 2016

Hey!
In the begging of June I have been to the Orange Warsaw Festival in Warsaw, Poland. The festival held on June 3-4 near the city center. I was just on the first day of the festival. On the first performed artists like Lana Del Rey, Skunk Anansie and the amazing band Die Antwoord. On the second day perfumed artists like Tom Oddel, MØ, Editors and also an incredible Skrillex. Below is the pic of the line-up.

There were two stages Orange Stage (the big one) and the Warsaw Stage (in the tent). I was only at performances on the Orange Stage because I was waiting for Lana Del Rey so I could not go anywhere  due not lose the place. But it was cool be there and wait for her with amazing people. The first perfumer was Marcelina. She is a polish singer. She began at 3:30 pm and her performance was quite good warm up for all. 

After her the Skunk Anansie at 7 pm. She was absolutely incredible and energetic. I have never seen performance like her in my life. She have just announced four new concert dates for Poland so I am pretty sure that I will go and see her again! Here are some pics of her performance.

The next artist for who people have been waiting the most was Lana Del Rey! She begun at 9:30 pm. She was fantastic. It was her first show at the summer tour but also the first in Europe since her last summer tour here in 2014. It was the second time that I saw her. The last time was at Paradise Tour in Warsaw too in June 2013. It was actually cool to see the concert that you have not seen before. That you have not known the setlist and how the stage will look like. However, the stage looked incredible and mysterious. The show took 90 mins. She had performed 15 songs like "West Coast", "Honeymoon", "Lolita", "Serial Killer" or "Ride". The separate post of Lana´s performance you can read here.

 After Lana at 11 pm the wondrous Die Antwoord came on stage! The were incredible. The show, lighst, music, atmosphere were so impressive. You can see it in my video from the festival. They have sung songs like "Ugly Boy", "Cookie Tramper!", or "I Fink U Freeky". Check out the whole setlist here.

The show begun at 9:30 pm and ended at 11 pm. Lana was incredible! The stage looked amazing. The neon sing Del Rey was a great idea and made a fantastic atmosphere.

5 Reasons: Why To Go To The Summer Festival

Hey!
The seasons of festivals is starting very soon and festivals are one of the best thing in the summertime. There are a lot of amazing festivals around the world in the summer, especially in Europe. Festivals are different and have many cool artists. For some of them people come from many countries all around the world like it is with Coachella where people come to California from Europe or even Australia. People go to the festivals because of many reasons, so here are 5 reasons why they do this.

1. Music

The most import reason that people are going to the festivals are absolutely music. Some festivals focus on genre and the others on many genres. Festivals give us ability to see and hear different kinds of music. Also, we are able to see many artist, some more known and some less. Sometimes we can even see a few our favorite artist and have a lot of fun.

2. Fun&Freedom

Fun is probably the most wanted thing on the festivals. When we are going to the festival we always expect to have as much fun as we can. Besides the concerts we can also have fun in the many different things/ways like: amusement park, competitions or many differ section to have fuuuunnn!

3. Fantastic&Fancy Outfits

On the festival you can dress however you want! That is the time to get crazy with outfits. People on festivals always look incredible with many different and cool outfits. You may see some celebrities dressed for festival quite amazing but you can do it also with your friends! You can look so fancy the whole festival!

4. Socializing 

Socializing is the thing that always happens on festivals. Even if you are going alone or with just one person, you will always meet the other people and make some friends. Festivals give opportunity to meet someone new, cool with the same personality like you. Moreover, you can meet many fans of your favorite artist. Many would say that this thing happens also at the normal concert. However, the festival is something bigger than just a normal show and that gives us bigger opportunity to meet someone else.

5. Moments

The last reason are moments. Think how many amazing moments can festival bring! That can be our best day of summer or life. It is always good to have fantastic memories from summer. Thus, festivals give us those memories. They are something unforgettable.
