All you need is love!

It has been a weekend full of love: Loves saves the day on Saturday, Love saves the night on Saturday night, Love saves Sunday on Sunday (obviously)... Online tickets for "Love Saves the Day 2013" festival were sold out last March. We ran late and didn't get any tickets for that day. However, we got some for "Love Saves Sunday".

The festival has been held in Castle Park, right in the city centre. The ruined St Mary-le-Port church stands to the west of the park which makes the part a very unique place for a festival. The area has been closed to the public at least since  last Wednesday.

I checked out some of the performances beforehand. Most of them were electronic music. Headline: Julio Bashmore; Clean Bandit, Ben Pearce and Walter Ego remind me a night out in Ibiza; Jacques Greene, a softer electronic music; Lulu James, very nice 80s essence; Lil Silva brasilian mix; Ms Dynamite, more vocal; Soom T (niiiceee); and Babyhead!!!

There was no reentry so we arrived at Castle Park after lunch. We first had a look around, the location of stages, bars, people... It is a very well organised event: food in one place, bars very well located next to every stage, enough toilets to avoid long queues (at least on Sunday), music in one stage was not merging with music in the closest stage... and we had an awesome weather for a festival!

The decoration of the event was very nice and I am sure it involved a lot of working hours. You could find anything related to love, hearts, red color, flowers... everywhere. 

        

We after decided to grab some drinks and lie on the grass. The weather was really good and most of the people were enjoying the sunshine. Colourful and funny sunglasses everywhere, as well as funny costumes and outfits. I couldn't say who wore them on purpose for that specific occasion and who wears them in their everyday life. Very funny.

We tried to be in every concert but it was impossible. Instead, we were rotating around the stages and checking out all the bands/artists we could. There are some few I didn't like. I am very critical with music and I found some of them were cheap versions of other artists, with no real talent. There were other groups that I suprisingly liked, though! And I can ensure you that we danced all the time, non stop. We did have a good time.

Definitely, it has been an awesome day and I'm sure we will come back next year!
