I heart my new family!
Creamfields past about 2ish weeks ago. Was an absolute blast. Shame I missed out on Eonic's set, super sad but they knew we didn't intend to.
We arrived super early at 1pm and pretty much had a whole day to pace out. Meaning there was still 9 hours of solid partying to do.
Main stage with Minx
Stayed outside for an hour or so and realised that it was going to be a damn cold day, even with the sun out and all. I took it very easy here sitting down in the middle of the crowed resting my feet as much as I could. After a while Bombs Away jumped on stage and they turned out to be quite the energetic bunch, not much my thing though and other randoms showed that too by dissing them. Also I noticed the sound was a bit off but couldn't exactly pin point what.
Back inside for Marlo, Tritonal and Sied Van Riel.
When we went inside the trance stage it was indoors and quite warm, cloaked my hoodie where I would regret later on.
Marlo was sick! Played hit after hit, his set was so damn energetic. Tritonal was also a mind blower! Super entertaining where one of them would just jump around dancing and giving away t-shirts while the other just Dj'ed.
Don't remember Sied Van Riel too much, but from de-briefing with mates and all I did conclude that his set was building up to something amazing until we decided to leave for Above and Beyond. Big mistake, but not a regret.
It's amusing to me because I specifically bought my Creamfields ticket on my own, not caring who else was attending and with the chance that no one would go. I did this specifically for Above and Beyond. I didn't want to leave the trance stage because it was getting better but also because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back in. But for A&B I did it.
Main stage was absolute rubbish, biggest let down ever. Not due to A&B but the speakers were blown and just sounded terrible. I was beaming but I was also shivering like nothing else. Had to huddle in tight circle to stay reasonably warm but still struggled, until Marie's buddy lent me his Defqon hoodie CHAMPION! Realising the sound was terrible and despite how much I wanted to stay I knew it wouldn't be worth it and so I accepted it and moved back to the trance stage for W&W. There was a line, waited a bit, but eventually got in.
After this point up until Guisseppe I find it hard to remember details of their set but it was good. I can just remember Skyfire being played, absolutely blew me away.
By Guisseppe I was over it, his set was OK at best but that's about it. My back was hurting like nothing else, feet was tired and I didn't realise it but I had sticky dirty residue from the gum I was chewing. Never again not 5 gum, there's just too much volume in my mouth makes me drool just a bit. LOL
Walking back was devastating, I was complaining like nothing else when I thought we were going to walk back, until we realised there were buses. Thank you buses!
Sad for the next day or two. Bananas does wonders and I keep going through the terrible photos on facebook just to relive a bit of it again.
Thanks Marie for the photos. I want to take more photos now to remember more but just forget.
Nothing till Defqon now, I've had my fun.
