Firstly, I have to admit Grace Jones was not my list of things to see and it was a toss up between seeing her and The Artic Monkeys who I have heard put on a pretty amazing live show. But as bad as this sounds I chose to Grace Jones purely because I had exhausted my veto rights and Olly (not Dolly, but Olly for Olga, the better half of Rogers) had a few left to spare. And as much as I don’t want to admit it, she was right. For me it was the performance of the festival and a reminder that nothing beats pure talent. Another example of talent shining through is Them Crooked Vultures. I know this is the second post in a row that includes them but they again proved that they are worth the hype. Another group that really impressed me was Fever Ray. Their show was like watching that scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind where the aliens landed, performed, then flew away.

Also, next time your at a festival in Holland please think of the zwervers and don’t crush your cups.
