Once again Joburg came together at @emmarentia damn under the great Seed Experiences setup with the help of Nokia and 5FMto bring us Bastille in South Africa!
#BastilleSA with Matthew Mole, @bedonbricks, @beatenburg and YOU!
Parking the car and walking up into Emmarentia, taking in all the car’s and thinking to myself, gees, the Gate’s just opened 5minutes ago and already there are ton’s of people here, truely, this is going to be a fantastic day!
Passing groups and couples hand in hand, picknick baskets and blankets in the other, one rubbing sunscreen on the other, it just made me smile how festival’s like these can bring thousands of us all in one place. Different personalities, cultures, backrounds and circumstances to stand together and party like there’s no tomorrow. And thanks to people like One-eyed Jack, event’s like this are always going to be a blast.
Taking a quick walk to get my arm band, check in through security, meet
some random
people and grab a few drinks, I hurried up to grab my friend Mr Mole up on stage, What a fantastic performance as alywas!
This man has grown so much! It’s no wonder the ladies.. and men it seems, follow him all around the festival to grab autographs, haha, yell his name and just try and shake his hand. What a man, always trying to please everyone, he tries, but wow, it must be difficult trying to always get to everyone and still enjoy yourself.
Bed On Bricks had a short show due to the rain, but put up such an amazing show that the crowd decided to follow on with a huge oncore of song trying to sing away the rain and welcome back the sun, everything from new age to way back in the days like the spice girls.
This Crowd was amazing, in the pouring rain they stood strong and didn’t falter, and after a few minutes the rain subsided and sun took over again, brining on a chorus of “Here Comes the Sun” and of course “Bastille” and their biggest show to date!
Another Fantastic day in the sun, Huge stage setup’s with some of the most amazing sound thanks to Prosound, Loads to eat and drink and of course the most amazing bands to listen to!
Seed has once again outdone themselves, A huge thank you to everyone and their fantastic sponsors. To the 5FM guys for their awesome MC, you legends kept us on the tip of our feet the whole day. To all my media friends, you rock!
