WEEK 12: LET THE SUMMER BEGIN

Probably, there are a few people, who haven't been at a musical concert. I bet that everyone in this group has gone to a concert at least once in their life. Whether it is a light or classical, or any other kind of music, people can choose from various events what and who they want to listen to and see. Every year there are more and more artists and festivals to go to. This year, for instance, there are at least five groups/artists who will play concerts in Poland, that I would like to see. Unfortunately, buying tickets to all of these concerts is too expensive, I'm forced to reduce my wishlist to only two of them.

The special kind of concerts are music festivals, which are held mostly in summer time. They last at least several days and include several concerts of various artists. The oldest music festival I believe is Woodstock, which first took place in 1969 near New York in the USA. Nowadays there are many music festivals all over the world. Most notable ones are, for example Lollapalooza in the US, Glastonbury Festival and Reading Festival in the UK, Rock am Ring and Hurricane Festival in Germany, Roskilde in Denmark, Sonisphere, which has an international range and takes place in various countries (inter alia in Poland).

Poland also awaited its own festivals, such as Open'er in Gdynia, Orange Warsaw Festival, Malta in Poznań, Przystanek Woodstock, which is great because after years of communism, we finally can compete with large foreign festivals, and go to gigs of great foreign artists in our own country. And every year they arrive in greater and greater numbers.

Q time:
1. Have ever you been at a music festival/musical concert/both? What was it? If you had been at more than one, which artists' performance you enjoyed the most?
2. Do you intend to go for any gig this year? What artist(s)?
