It has taken a while for it all to sink in. I had been counting down the days and then it is suddenly over.
A little bit of context if you don't know what the big weekend is. It is a 2 day festival run by the BBC and is completely free (except from an online booking fee of the grand total of £7) it is the biggest free festival in Europe. It has been running for about 10 years and tends to go to smaller cities such as Carlisle, Dundee and Swindon. This year it came to my home town of Norwich.
The day was brilliant, despite the rain (although what would be an English festival without rain eh?) By far my favourite act of the day was Taylor Swift, she has fast become my favourite artist at the moment and her performance was impeccable, Her performance was flawless which is the same as her vocals. I couldn't believe that I was standing there watching her, so much so that i did have a little happy cry while she was performing.
However Imagine Dragons were also brilliant, the atmosphere of everyone singing along and the energy that Dan Reynolds (lead singer) produced really got the crowd going. It also helped that the sun had just started to come out after a very wet beginning to the festival.
Although by the end of the day everything was hurting and I felt like I could sleep for a week the whole day was absolutely incredible and showed Norwich off as such a brilliant city.
I have for sure caught the festival bug and can't wait to go to another one!
P.s if you are reading this within around 30 days of it being posted and live in the UK you can watch all the acts on BBC's iplayer.
