Hi guys
So on Saturday 22nd June 2013, me and my two cousins and a friend headed down to Hatfield House in Hertfordshire for the The XX Day + Night Festival that was taking place. My cousin had actually bought me the ticket for my 18th birthday which was only a few days before.
We left around 1pm and arrived at around 3pm, when we arrived the festival was already in swing with two stages surrounded by people and the longest lines coming from the food stalls and queues that seemed to last for miles for the Bar.
The DJ stage had the likes of Sampha, Jamie XX and Benji playing 30 minutes sets on it, and the main stage was home to the likes of Solange Knowles, Poliça, London Grammar, Mount kimbie and The XX themselves.
The afternoon was full of good music and food with all the different smells of the stalls mixing together and even though the weather was looking a bit bad, we manged to have a really good time.
Jamie XX's set on the DJ stage was amazing, we managed to get really close to the front and everyone was vibing of each other and enjoying the good music.
For Solange Knowles, Poliça and The XX, we again managed to get really close to the front, and this really made the experience much better. I feel when you are closer to the artist, you can really feel their emotions and what vibe is on the stage, which really heightens the experience.
Solange Knowles and Poliça both did an amazing job and really got the crowd going, and when The XX came on stage, it was just the start of an amazing set.
The music and the atmosphere during The XX's set was out of this world. The voices of Romy and Oliver are amazing. The talent within that group is outstanding. Jamie XX is just amazing at what he does, and together The XX are one of the best groups I have seen.
If you haven't checked out any of The XX's music I would really recommend you do. As I am from London myself, its really nice to see a British group have so much success.
Check out Crystalized and Angels ( my favourite songs ).
The XX were amazing and all the other acts were outstanding, the level of talent was amazing and together they created an unforgettable festival.
A brilliant way to start of my summer.
