After my first Festival ever (Open Flair 2014/ Eschwege,Germany ), i want to start a thread about YOUR festival experiences. I will start: How i said, my first festival was the Open Flair Festival 2014 in Eschwege, Germany. It was from Tuesday , August 5th until Sunday, August 10th. Eschwege is a little town in Germany so the whole village was into the festival somehow. But back to topic. I had a really good time on this festival. Good organsation, many good bands and more or less really friendly persons. Bands you guys could know: Anti-Flag Apologies, I have Non BoySetsFire Eat The Gun Etter Shikari Ignite Jimmy Eat World Rise Against Ska-P Steel Panther Zebrahead Some bigger German acts: Callejon Casper Dritte Wahl Fiddlers Green Madsen Massendefekt Seeed Well, i will tell you know about some bands i saw: Ignite: Well, i didnt know any songs by them but they totally rock the shit out of the whole people. Zebrahead: Same like Ignite. I really enjoyed them. They did a great job. Madsen: One of the my highlights on this festival. I really thought they would be boring but they was really awesome. Really good radio-friendly kind of music. They rocked it. Hope i get another chance to see them. Fiddlers Green: A German band who made some Speedfolk music wih some Irish Songs (Night Pat Murphy Died ) and good own songs. ANother highlight for me. They really did a fucking grat job. You cant feel bad aslong you listen to them. Check the out, they are great Ska-P: Well, i dont speak spanish but this guys really did it. Ska-Punk at the best. All people had really much fun watching them. Seeed: Maybe you know them ( I dont think so). Seeed is a German band from Berlin and they make Reggae, Dancehall music. ANd if they want you to dance, YOU WILL DANCE. They just did a fantastic job, Just Party Hard You guys should check them out, theire songs are always on German and english, check out their album Music Monks or Next! Steel Panther: Best songs ever Just Party if you listen to them and just fun if they talk. Maybe not the favorite act from women Jimmy Eat World: Well, they was ok, not more. A bit boring to be honest Rise Against: The perfect festival closer. They started with "Ready to fall" and "Give It All" and played songs like "Prayer of the Refugee", "The Good Left Undone", "Satallite" , "Behind Close Doors" and acoustic songs "Hero Of War" , "People Live here" (Live debut) and Swing Life Away. They close the show with Make It Stop and Savior. It was fucking great and really energetic. It was a really great concert. All in all my first festival was really awesome. Good friends, good music (and alcohol ) I could write a lot more with better english skills but i think that should be enough But the last thing i want you to show is a song who runs all day on the campside.

PLAY THE SAME SONG AGAIN. THE SAME SONG? Ok and go"
I went to EXIT Festival in Serbia couple of times. It's a great festival in a fortress with many stages and different types of music. The fortress has big walls so you can have two stages next to each other without sounds interwining. I saw bands like Arctic Monkeys, Editors and Hurts among others. Once a girl asked if I could sell her some ecstasy. good times.
