Vacation and Øyafestivalen over!
So, to sum things up. Yey!
Øya was so much fun, I didn’t even mind the rain the last day, because it was the last day(doh), and it’s vacation time again.
The only thing that annoyed me from the very beginning, which meant I had to put it away mentally already on Wednesday, was the quality of the sound. I mean, come on! The Enga stage just had terrible sound, the bass drowned out everything, including vocals. *put it away again*
Røyksopp was at times amazing, in spite of strange stage behavior and some bad song choices. Erol Alkan was brilliant. Beirut was a bit of a letdown. He seemed nervous.
Florence and the machine was perhaps the best concert, if taken into the consideration all the technical problems they had. She’s crazy, or perhaps just high on cocaine, I mean when you go off stage with a nose bleed, what’s a poor audience to think? Her voice is just amazing, also live.
Fever Ray, Bon Iver, Band of Horses, Mew etc. I’m happy!
Will be back next year!

I think Tommy Tokyo was also one of the best concerts! It was fantastic!
