V Festival 2015 | Hylands Park ❤

Hello & Welcome back to my blog... Sorry i missed a blog post last week, i was so busy with stuff & packing all my stuff for V Festival and shopping etc. But i'm back now with my experience at V Festival! 

FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST

So i went last year & just did the weekend no camping but this year i camped! It was a wicked experience and i loved every minute of it (minus my shitty sunburn and carrying all my crap). So on the friday we got to Hylands Park around 10:30am to que to get into the camp. The walk was beyond what i could cope with the amount of stuff i had and the amount it all weighed, literally thought my hand was going to fall off. So m e dand my friend Chloe took the rest of our friends stuff and waited for the little shuttle bus thing to take us into the red camp, it was £10 each but i didn't even care at that point, i couldn't walk another half hour from where we were! So made it to camp and set up our tent, got all our stuff settled in & then chilled out on our camping chairs and started on the boooooooze.

My cool temp tattoos from Asos! 

We then headed down into the arena about 7pm as there was DJ's playing all night in the Sure Arena, there was DJ S.K.T & R3wire and Varski to name a couple. That was pretty sick as they were playing really good songs & everyone was going mental. We then went to a DJ bar place called "Cocktail Cocktail" for a little while which was one the highlights of V, it was sick! We then headed back to the camp at about 12:30am and chilled out talking on our camping chairs for a little while and then eventually got some sleep but i woke up like every hour lol gr8 sleep. 

SATURDAY 22ND AUGUST

I then woke up about 7 and then got ready for the day 1 of acts! My body was screaming for James Bay by this point. James Bay was the first act we saw and his set was UNBELIEVABLE. I was the only one who knew every single lyric to every single song and i legit had no shame, he gave such a beautiful set & beyond what i expected. I was pretty drunk at like 1pm for him but it made me have no shame and scream every lyric lol! We then watched some of Annie Mac's set and she was so so sick, i love listening to her on radio 1 and seeing her live was brill. We then went to the MTV stage to see Jess Glynne and she was incredible, the crowd were so good as well & she is even more amazing live. She even started crying because the crowd were singing every word back. She also bought Tinie Tempah on stage for Not Letting Go which was sick. 

We then went back to the camp to grab some food and alcohol & then went back to the arena, to see some of Sam Smith's set which was beautiful as ever. We were singing our hearts out and the crowd were so involved. We then went to the Virgin Media Our House as we wanted to see DJ EZ in the dance tent but it had reached capacity so we went there instead and that was so good. We then went to see Nero headline the Sure Arena and that was SO sick it was madness. 

After Nero, we hung out at Cocktail Cocktail for a little while until about 11 and they played absoloute tunes at this bar we were loving it lol. We then went back to the camp to chill for a bit and then headed back into the Sure Arena tent for the silent disco, we all grabbed a pair of headphones on the way in and there were 2 dj's on stage and you could swap between each dj throughout the disco and it was one the top highlights of V, everyone just danced and sang away, no one gave a shit and everyone just had a sick time. Plus it was literally tune after tune in there! By that point it was gone 2am and we headed back to the camp to get some sleep! 

SUNDAY 23RD AUGUST

By this point i was defo feeling the desperate need of a shower and my sun burn was killing like hell and i wanted my bed haha! We all got ready & chilled out on our camping chairs drinking alcohol at like 9am (never too early). We then headed down to the arena about 12 to see Scouting For Girls and they were so good! We then went to the Virgin Media Our House to see Skepta, his set was maaaad!! It then chucked down so heavy with rain and i didn't have a rain coat so my makeup was dripping off my face so i was wearing my sunglasses to stop any mascara from running haha but we danced to Ella Eyre in the rain and then headed back to the camp to grab some more drink and wait until it stopped raining! 

We then made our way back to the arena and headed to the dance tent to see one of my faves; Marvin Humes do a DJ set and it was incredible. The whole crowd was just so buzzed and it went off! We also got to the barrier for it as well and Marvin noticed us a few times which was kewlllllllll, it was such a sick set & one of my highlights of the weekend. We then watched George Ezra who was incredible as always, it was so relaxing listening to his beautiful voice. 

We then grabbed something to eat and sat down for a bit listening to Ellie Goulding and then made our way to the MTV Stage to watch the beautiful Kodaline. They were incredible!!!! I was so excited to see them as well, some 40 year old men bought us vodka jelly shots so we basically ran away lol cyaaaaaa m8. After Kodaline we watched Clean Bandit and we were right at the front for them. They were really amazing, it was the first time i had properly seen them perform a full set as well. The energy from the crowd was so good. 

Then it was the set i was most excited for ever ever ever - CALVIN ♥♥♥♥
His set was absoloutely incredible, the energy and atmosphere was crazy & everyone was going mental. Out of the few times i've seen him, V was definitely my favourite. He really put on an amazing set, full of his absolute bangers and also other artists popular songs. There were pyro's and fireworks as well which looked amazing. Although i was absolutely pissed out of my face by this point so i had the time of my life!!! 

So that was my v weekend over :( i had one of the best weekends ever with the best friends ever & trying to put a tent down at 11:30pm drunk as hell was probably one of the highlights to be honest, i definitely had the best sleep ever sunday night!
