My Roskilde experience
Roskilde festival facts:
- Roskilde festival is Denmarks biggest festival, some say it's the biggest in Scandinavia but I'm not sure of that.
- It holds 75.000 guests
- there is a naked run that people sign up for many months in advance '
- It lasts a week
- This year was the hottest one in 33 years ( last time I went was it the wettest ever)
I came for the music, stayed for the warmup.
The warmup is the first 4 days with no music, just pure camping and drinking.
Every day someone would drive into town and buy 10 cases of beer and 5 bottles of vodka and some juice. all that for 11 people... all that ends in 4 days of heavily drinking with friends and other camps.. it's a blast .... but I really came for the music.. so then Thursday came was I happy as a mother******
Thursday:
Kanye west: first words he says is " Hello Copenhagen" nice one there Kanye we are in Roskilde at least an hour away from Copenhagen. Not a great start... the rest sucked as well ...He only played his new songs... which suck compared to Jesus walks etc. SO I left after half an hour to see my fav. danish band Mew
Mew:
Mew makes dreamy pop rock music. and basically got through 10 grade, so I was exited to say the least.... AND they fluckin delivered .. it was beautiful.. I was the perfect amount of drunk and high.. and then they played there last song ( one of my top 10 songs of all time ) I thought my life couldn't get any better
( last song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6IeaJHoPPE listing to the whole thing. the last 5 min is perfect music to my ears )
Trentemoller ( Trentemøller ) :
Trentemoller is the biggest club name to come out of Denmark, he plays at fashion shows all over the world .. and I fluckin love his music .
Check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAQWpTIjusY and : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqjmf5M4gjU
plus the best remix ever made : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3njX...eature=related
anyway he played in front of ca. 40.000 people, for over 2 hours.. every dance the night away ... I was in heaven
Friday:
Oasis: what can I say.. the lead singer is weird.. they where boring ... I'm not a fan
Nine Inch Nails :
This years surprise.. I didn't know much about NIN, but I had heard good this. so I stayed.. and boy I'm a happy for that .. they are awesome, I'm now a fan ! the end

Saturday:
Lil Wayne cancelled and Gogol Bordello came instead .. one word for this .. WOW .. they know how to get a crowd going ..
Slipknot:
I'm not a fan .. but come in a chance to see this in person http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdHceDElBxs
they did it and it was actually a great concert.. I'm still not a fan.. but I enjoyed it
Pet Shop Boys:
I saw about 30 min of this... real good, but kind of the same .. so we bailed
Sunday: the last day of music
M. Ward:
damn he plays his guitar well .. and he played all the songs I wanted to hear . I was unbelievably happy... I'll never forget his show
Madness:
Our house in the middle of shit .. man they are misplaced and just bad all over live ... I just couldn't get into it
Coldplay:
I was all the way up in the front.. I could have spitted in Chris Martins face if I wanted to.. I didn't .. they are really really amazing live
I'm tired of writing now .
Roskilde Festival is defiantly an amazing adventure of music, drugs, drinking and making friends you'll only see at next years festival ... I just love it
I just felt like writing this...
