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

Two days in Krakow

Hi!
Last weekend I went to Krakow to see Mariah Carey on her tour. You can read more about it HERE. So I wanted to show you some pictures from Krakow. I have been mostly in places in the city center. I do not have a big knowledge about Krakow but I think that those beautiful pics that I have taken and some info that I found are good enough to show this amazing city! Next time I would like to come again to Krakow on summertime to stay a little long and to see Aushwitz and Wieliczka salt mine and a little more of a city.



The city is the second biggest city in Poland with a population of 762 508 people. Krakow is one of the oldest cities in Poland (1257- city rights). Krakow was the capital city of Poland several times. The longest period of being the capital city was 499 years (1296-1795).
