Laneway Festival Singapore 2011

I'll start this post by saying that:
this was probably the best night of my life so far.This was the FIRST TIME that Laneway Festival came to Singapore(it's normally held in Australia), thus it's a big deal that SG is the first ever Asian country in their destination list. HOORAY. It'll also mean that they'll most likely return in 2012 too (:
Awesome music, great people from everywhere(Malaysia, New York, Australia, etc), nice venue(Fort Canning is pretty!), THERE WAS NO HOT SUN, and awesome music again.
I used to go quite a number of band gigs but never a festival THIS long(almost 12 hours: 2pm -1.30am), but most of all, Laneway festival had the best lineup ever so far with 9 bands.

Actually I only bought the tickets in the first place for Foals and The Temper Trap.
But I ended up loving the rest as well, especially !!!(Chk Chk Chk), Yeasayer and Holy FU@#K.

When we reached, it wasn't hot at all. But not cold either.
The place was amazing, just like how I saw music festivals on tv/online; filled with interesting people from various places. Also, different age groups. From mostly teenagers, to even late 20's or middle aged.
(For me, the caucasions were harder to differentiate ages cause they look more matured than asians T_T)

But then it started drizzling.
Then the drizzle turned to real rain and everyone went to get ponchos.
(most of the following are my pictures, but a few from others cause I didn't use my hp after the rain got really heavy.)

(look at the crowd~)

This was grass. We did not know the meaning of grass.(later you'll see why.)

DJs that played amazing choices of songs inbetween the different bands!
I want their playlist in my ipod, seriously.

(after this I did not take pics anymore cause it started raining heavilyyyyy and I lost my raincoat -.-)

Here are the pictures taken not from my hp:

From this(in the beginning),

toooo...

THIS.
Mud everywhere. Further up it was much worse, everyone got their shoes deep in the mud trying to get out of Fort Canning. We were all struggling to even walk LOL.

All in all, I really had an amazing time.
Dancing to Foals in the heavy rain, high~ without a care in the world.
Having complete strangers sharing umbrellas with you forawhile before a band started playing.
Watching people come together and dance to awesome music.
Seeing 2 caucasian men helping each other out of the mud when they're both completely drunk(such an amusing but sweet sight)
A random caucasian woman flash her boobs while on another person's shoulder during !!!'s performance. (Firsttime see in reallife LOL)
Did I mention the dancing and great music?

Oh yeah I enjoyed Laneway.
I'm definitely going again next year if they have awesome bands like this year's. :D
